Make the missing things visible.

# A quieter month end.

Mark the documents received. Prepare one clear request for the items still needed.

**Operating account statement** Complete statement for the monthReceived **Sales summary** Monthly export from the sales systemReceived **Business card statement** Complete card statement for the monthNeeded **Expense receipts** Receipts for the agreed reporting periodNeeded **Payroll summary** Summary from the payroll providerNeeded

Received means collected. Your bookkeeper still checks completeness and accuracy.

The next useful step

One request.  
Only what’s missing.

-   Business card statement
-   Expense receipts
-   Payroll summary

Your team reviews the message before sending.

## Collection, with a clear boundary.

The workflow keeps track of what arrived and what to request. It does not reconcile accounts, verify transactions or give accounting advice.

## Built around your practice.

Connect the checklist to your existing client portal and task system. Agree document access, retention and approval rules before adding automation.
