Year-end close and CPA handoff pack

Year-end close and CPA handoff pack from Finbryn closes and reconciles a US business's full-year books in QuickBooks Online or Xero, then hands the outside CPA or tax preparer a trial balance, fixed asset schedule, bank and loan reconciliations, and a memo on anything unusual, so the return starts from a checked file.

What is included

  • A full-year trial balance reconciled through fiscal year end
  • Every bank and loan account reconciled to third-party statements
  • A fixed asset and depreciation schedule reconciled to the capitalization policy
  • Prepaid expense and accrual schedules substantiated for the full year
  • A written memo flagging anything material or unusual in the year
  • A prior-year comparison with any significant swing explained
  • Direct coordination with your outside CPA or tax preparer on document requests
  • A handoff pack formatted for your preparer's existing workflow

The process

  1. 1.

    Kickoff and scope confirmation

    We confirm entity structure, current bookkeeping condition, and who the pack is going to (your existing preparer, a new one, or our own tax preparation support team).

  2. 2.

    Full-year account reconciliation

    Every balance sheet account is reconciled through fiscal year end, bank, loans, prepaids, and accruals included, not only the accounts touched monthly.

  3. 3.

    Fixed asset and depreciation review

    Assets capitalized during the year are confirmed against the capitalization policy and the depreciation schedule is reconciled to what was actually posted.

  4. 4.

    Prior-year comparison

    Every account is checked against last year, and any swing worth explaining gets a written note before the preparer has to ask.

  5. 5.

    Handoff pack assembly

    Trial balance, fixed asset schedule, reconciliations, and a memo on anything unusual are compiled into one package formatted for your preparer's workflow.

  6. 6.

    Delivery and preparer coordination

    The pack is delivered to your CPA or tax preparer directly if requested, and we stay available to answer questions while they work from it.
