What it does
Month-end adjustment entries with the numbers, the support and the review notes. Pick the type: accounts payable accruals, fixed asset depreciation, prepaid amortization, payroll accruals or revenue recognition, and give the period. If your accounting system is connected, it pulls the trial balance, subledger detail and last period's entries. If not, it asks for the data. It calculates each entry, builds the debit and credit lines, attaches the supporting schedule and writes a note for the reviewer. Prior-period entries serve as a reference so amounts are consistent. This helps your workflow but is not financial advice, and a qualified accountant should review every entry before posting.
