Virtual Accounting FirmsAn imaginary month, figures off

Monday, the feed.

Imagine a bank feed that has been open all week. Some lines have names. Some are numbers. The owner marks the nameless ones with a few words. We match what is already named and we leave the rest on a list. Nobody forces the list to zero to make a screen look calm.

The same morning, bills sit in a second list. The ones the owner already approved get recorded. The doubtful one stays. The income does not get to look better by hiding it.

Nothing here is a promise that your Monday will feel light. It is a promise that the list of what is open will be a real list.

The weekday itself.

On the close weekday the bank and the books are asked to name one cash figure. If they do, the statements can be read. If they do not, the difference is written down and the month stays open until the difference has a name. Open is an honest status. Forced closed is how next month starts angry.

The sales tax figure is on that same page, because the payment date does not care that the close was busy. You look at it before anyone pays it. We would rather delay a boast than delay that look.

If payday already ran, it ran on the provider you operate. We only look for a draw that was parked on a wage line. The imaginary shop in this picture had already paid its people before the close weekday arrived.

What you would leave with.

Statements with no signed cover. A short note of what is still open. A weekday you can say next month without negotiating it again. If a decision about the year is waiting, it waits on this closed month rather than on a pile.

If your real month cannot follow this order yet, the first work is whatever is blocking it. A file you cannot open. A year of nameless deposits. A sales tax figure nobody has seen. We start there, and we say so before a standing month is even offered.

When you want this order on a real month, bring one month you trust and we will tell you how far it is from the picture.

Where to go from here.
