Close the month with nothing left to chase.
Bank lines reconcile as they arrive, a readiness checklist shows exactly what is left, and a signed-off period locks so the numbers you reported stay put.
For owners, finance teams and the accountants who close their books
The WAWProfi workspace · illustrative figures
Reconciled before the month ends
Bank lines are matched as they arrive, so month end starts from a reconciled ledger rather than a backlog.
A checklist that says what is left
Every open item is counted and linked, and the ones that should stop a close are marked as blocking.
Signed off, then locked
A sign-off records what was checked. The closed period refuses new postings until someone reopens it, with a reason.
Month-end close, in the product
From the last bank line to a locked period.
Manage the close by exception.
Closed means closed
A journal, invoice or bill dated inside a closed period is refused. Undoing something the closed books already account for lands on today's date instead, so reported figures do not change.
Sign off with open items, on the record
Sometimes a period closes with something outstanding. The sign-off asks what was checked and why, and keeps that note beside the checklist as it stood.
Every client's close, for accounting firms
Practices see every client's reconciliation backlog in one queue, so the clients who will hold up month end are visible before it arrives.
Cy AI · Month-end close
Ask why a number moved before you sign it off.
Cy reads the posted books and answers in plain English with its sources, so the review spends its time on the figures that changed.
- Why is October's profit lower than September's?
- Which bank lines are still unreconciled?
- What changed in costs this month?

The practical details
Month-end close FAQs
Open a question to explore the workflow.
01What stops a period from closing?
Bank transactions held for a closer look, transactions waiting in Suspense, transactions with a serious flag and reconciliations whose accounting entry cannot be traced. Unrecorded bank lines and draft journals are listed too, but do not block on their own.
02Can I close with something still open?
Yes, by a person's decision. The sign-off asks what was checked and why the period is being signed off anyway, and keeps that note with the checklist as it stood.
03What if something changes after the period is closed?
Postings dated inside a closed period are refused. Reopen the period with a reason, which is kept in its history, or let a correction land in the current period instead.
