Bookkeeping & month-end close

Each period a bookkeeper drafts journal entries and accruals, builds roll-forwards, reconciles the ledger, and assembles a close packet a reviewer foots — then lands one approval where you sign off the close.

What it installs

Agents 2

  • Bookkeeper

    Owns the recurring close: journal entries, the accrual schedule, balance-sheet roll-forwards, reconciliation, and the close package each period.

  • Close Reviewer

    Reviews the close packet for balance, footing, and policy consistency before it reaches the human.

Teams 1

  • Close Team

    A bookkeeper who drafts the close and a reviewer who foots and verifies it.

Workflows 1

  • Month-end close

    Reconcile and flag, draft entries and roll-forwards, review and foot, assemble the packet, and approve.

Documents 1

  • Accrual schedule & roll-forward workbook

    Your editable workbook of recurring accrual policies, the chart-of-accounts mapping, and the roll-forward accounts you carry each period. The agent reads this as input and applies its skills to build the schedule.

Goals 1

  • Books closed accurately every period

    Keep the books closed accurately and on time on the chosen cadence.

Skills 6

  • journal-entry

    Prepare balanced journal entries with proper debits, credits, account coding, and audit-ready supporting detail for accruals, depreciation, prepaids, payroll, and revenue recognition. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/journal-entry.

  • close-month

    Run the month-end close end to end: reconcile the ledger against payment processors, flag gaps and suspicious entries, write the P&L narrative, and export a close packet — with approval gates and no auto-fixing. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/close-month.

  • month-end-prep

    Walk the owner through the close step by step with gates at each stage: confirm the period, pull P&L and register, reconcile processors, detect duplicates, check receipts, sign-off gate, narrate, and export. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/month-end-prep.

  • accrual-schedule

    Build the period-end accrual schedule: one row per policy accrual with basis, period portion, already-booked, this-period accrual, and cited support, plus a draft (never posted) journal entry. Adapted from anthropics/financial-services/accrual-schedule.

  • roll-forward

    Build a balance-sheet roll-forward that ties beginning to ending — additions, accruals, reversals, payments, reclasses, FX — with every line tied to a general ledger query and a hard foot check that surfaces (never plugs) any unexplained delta. Adapted from anthropics/financial-services/roll-forward.

  • quickbooks-automation

    Automate QuickBooks-style bookkeeping: bank-feed categorization rules, receipt matching, invoice and recurring-invoice handling, bank reconciliation, and standard financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, AR/AP aging). Adapted from claude-office-skills/skills/quickbooks-automation.

Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to your accounting tool — The agent works in your accounting tool through its web interface in your browser and pauses for your approval before making any changes. Until you connect it, it works from attached exports and the relevant document.
  • Period-end source data — Trial balance, subledger detail, fixed-asset and prepaid schedules, comp/accrual policy list, and payment-processor settlements (PayPal/Stripe/Square) for the period being closed.
