Month-End Close Runner

Runs your 27-step close checklist on the 1st of every month. Replaces a $60k Junior Accountant.

The Problem

An SMB owner pays $60k/yr to a Junior Accountant who runs the month-end close: lock prior period, reconcile bank, reconcile credit cards, run depreciation, post recurring journal entries, generate trial balance, verify P&L vs budget, draft close memo. The role is 90% checklist execution on a 24-48 hour cycle — exactly the bounded orchestration an APScheduler-driven agent runs reliably.

The Outcome

1st of month 6am → agent kicks off 27-step close runbook → executes each step (bank recon, card recon, depreciation, accruals) → halts at any step requiring human judgment (e.g. inventory write-down) → emails 'close at step 18 of 27, blocked on inventory adjustment, ready to resume after your input.' Close shrinks from 7 days to 36 hours.

Day in the Life
1.
Day 1 6am: locks prior period in QBO → kicks off bank-feed reconciliation across all accounts → posts to checklist
2.
Day 1 noon: posts recurring JEs (rent, depreciation, prepaid amortization) → flags any line where vendor is new or amount > 2σ from history
3.
Day 2 EOD: drafts 'close memo' — P&L vs budget, balance sheet movements, top-5 unusual transactions — for your one-click sign-off
