Quickbooks Month-End Closing Checklist
Use this Month-End Closing Checklist to Achieve
Accurate, Reliable Reports from QuickBooks
(On Time!) Each and Every Month…
Tired of Getting Late, Inaccurate, or Confusing Reports?
The secret is to have a documented system for closing your books every month.
A month-end closing checklist defines that system so your reports are accurate, timely, and informative, so you can make better financial decisions.
Do you receive accurate, meaningful financial and job cost reports from QuickBooks every month?- Do your reports make sense? Are they helpful?
- Are your job costs properly assigned?
- Do your “Costs by Job” agree with your company totals?
- Are all of your bank and credit cards reconciled each month?
(Did you know that banks won’t cover fraudulent checks if you discover them after the bank’s cut-off date?) - Are your valuable accounting records backed up?
- Is your QuickBooks file formally closed (to protect against unwanted changes) each month?
- Are you aware of, and have you implemented, basic anti-fraud controls?
If you answered “No” to any of these questions, it’s not your fault. Unless you’ve been working with a professional accountant who helped you create a closing checklist for QuickBooks, you probably haven’t realized how a standardized, date-driven month-end closing process can become a powerful tool to help you extract the accurate, timely results you need from your accounting system.

“My books were a mess. I couldn’t get any valuable or correct information out of them, and I was trying to manage more ‘by the numbers’… I needed help.

Do All Businesses Need a Month-End Closing Checklist?
Unless you are a very, very small business, the answer is YES! Every single transaction entered into QuickBooks (or any accounting system) contains a number of fields that need to be completed. No matter how diligent or experienced the bookkeeper or accountant is, it’s nearly impossible to enter the thousands of details perfectly every month.
And, due to continuing time pressures, without a clearly defined process to double-check results, bookkeepers seldom re-visit their work.
The result? Records, files, and reports that can contain numerous errors – reports that leave business owners doubting the validity of what they see in their own company’s records!
This QuickBooks Month-End Closing Checklist is an Accountant-Designed Solution…
Over the years, we’ve observed business after business struggle with this problem! That’s why we created this Month-end Closing Checklist system.
In certain cases, clients have asked us to perform the steps in this quality-control checklist on their behalf. But, in most instances, the better long-term solution is to empower your company’s internal bookkeeping staff to learn how to systematically self-review, self-correct, and protect your monthly accounting records, job cost reports, and other valuable financial assets.
The result? Owners can finally count on seeing accurate, useful reports each and every month. That means there’s no need to rely on expensive, external professional accounting services!
