Hello,

Happy Holidays! As we approach year end we wanted to convey some basic information and make a request to ensure year end close goes as smoothly as possible.

Year end close involves a thorough review of our clients' books including, but not limited to:

  • Verifying all uncleared transactions are valid - this includes checks written but not yet cashed.
  • Confirming all expenses are properly booked.
  • Confirming all income has been properly recognized (for accrual clients) and categorized (for all clients).
  • Confirming accounts payable and accounts receivable balances are valid and match any external systems (i.e. Bill.com, Harvest, etc).
  • Reconciling and validating all Balance Sheet accounts.
  • Ensuring all out of pocket expenses are properly captured.
  • Reconciling wages and associated taxes to payroll provider reports.

Typically the year end close will take two to three times as long as a normal month end close will take so your patience is much appreciated as we close out roughly 50 books in a span of about 4-8 weeks while continuing to run payroll, issue invoices on behalf of our clients, pay clients' bills, etc.

Our first (and highest priority) deadline is issuing W2's and 1099's by the end of January for payments made in 2016. Our goal is to get all books closed by the end of January but undoubtedly there will be some open issues that will carry us into February.

Now for our request to you - if you have a deadline for closing your company's 2016 books please let us know as soon as possible but no later than Thursday, December 23rd so we can plan accordingly and make every attempt to meet all deadlines.

Thank you again for your patience, cooperation and for being our client!!!

And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know!

thank you!
