General ledger maintenance
General ledger maintenance from Finbryn keeps a US business's ledger accurate: journal entries reviewed before posting in QuickBooks Online or NetSuite, every balance sheet account substantiated with a schedule, and a standing close checklist followed the same way each month, so a lender or new accountant can pick up the file directly.
What is included
- Journal entries reviewed for account, period, and documentation before posting
- Every balance sheet account substantiated with a schedule or reconciliation each period
- A standing close checklist followed the same way every month
- A written log of prior-period adjustments with an explanation for each one
- A chart of accounts reviewed and kept free of duplicate or overlapping accounts
- A reconciliation between the ledger and third-party statements: bank, loan servicer, vendor
- A short diagnostic on ledger drift before ongoing maintenance begins
The process
- 1.
Ledger state review
We review the current chart of accounts and check which balance sheet accounts already have a supporting schedule or reconciliation behind them.
- 2.
Drift diagnosis
Every balance sheet account gets checked against a bank statement, loan schedule, or vendor record to confirm it actually reflects reality.
- 3.
Cleanup scoped if needed
Where the ledger has drifted materially, we scope a separate catch-up cleanup engagement before ongoing maintenance begins.
- 4.
Standing checklist applied
The same close checklist runs every period in the same order, so the process does not depend on who happens to be working that month.
- 5.
Entries reviewed before posting
Journal entries are checked for the correct account, period, and supporting documentation before they go into the ledger.
- 6.
Variance and adjustment log maintained
Any prior-period correction is written into a running log with an explanation, rather than absorbed quietly into the current period.
