Month end close software for the person who actually closes the books
Month end close software that keeps the checklist, the payables queue and the reconciliations in one place instead of a spreadsheet somebody inherited and a shared inbox of invoices waiting for approval. Three free worksheets run on the page with no account: price your close in working days, age your payables into buckets with days payable outstanding, and cost the invoice approval route you run today. Monthendly Pro keeps every month as a record with its checklist, its reconciliations and its sign-off. Nothing here is a benchmark, an industry average or an accounting standard; every figure is yours.
Built for the close, on purpose
Monthendly is not a general ledger, a bookkeeping package, a payroll system, a tax filing tool or a consolidation engine, and it is not going to become one. Every field exists because someone closing the month needs to know what is left, what is blocking it, and whether last month's numbers can be shown to have tied.
Price the close. Clear the payables. Keep the record.
- A close priced in working days, not hoped for. Forty tasks at forty-five minutes and six reviews at thirty is 33 hours, which across two people giving it six hours a day is 2.75 working days. Add a third person and it is 1.83. The argument about whether to hire is arithmetic, on the page, before the month starts.
- What the approval route is actually costing. Four hundred invoices touched three times at six minutes, plus 12% going wrong and taking eighteen minutes more, is 134.4 hours a month. At a $32 loaded rate that is $4,300.80 a month, $10.75 an invoice and $51,609.60 a year.
- Every month kept with its checklist and its sign-off. Open, in progress, ready for review, signed off, closed: every month against its company with every task dated and every exception noted, so the question about why March took nine days is answered from the record and not from memory.
The free tools
All three worksheets compute on the page, free, with no account and no trial clock. The free version is the whole calculation; the paid plan is about keeping it: every month as a record with its checklist, who did what and when it was signed off.
- Accounts payable invoice approval process: Price the invoice approval route you run today: invoices a month, touches, minutes a touch, the exception rate and a loaded hourly cost, into hours, cost per invoice and the annual figure.
- Month end close checklist: Price your month end close from your own checklist: tasks, the minutes each takes, the reviews on top, the people on it and the hours a day they really give it, into hours and working days.
- Accounts payable aging report: Age your payables into current, 30, 60 and 61-plus day buckets and get the total, the overdue share, the part past sixty days and days payable outstanding on one sheet.
Monthendly Pro
The worksheets are free forever. Pro turns them into the record: the close checklist for each month with its owner and its dates, the payables queue that clears before the cut-off, the reconciliations attached to the month they belong to, your team's name on the pack, no watermark, and an export when the auditor asks. Monthendly Pro is $43 per month for your whole finance team, billed monthly.
