Month end prep | Business Helper AI

Inputs and purpose

Use this workflow to prepare: Reconciliation findings and accountant/close packet.

Start with: P&L, transactions, settlement exports and receipts/status.

Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.

Procedure

Define the close period and gather supplied transaction, settlement, ledger and receipt records with their source dates.
Reconcile opening balance, activity and closing balance for each relevant account. Separate timing differences from unexplained discrepancies.
Collect missing support, proposed adjustments and owner questions in one review packet, avoiding duplicate corrections.
Return the close-preparation summary and exception register. Check that unresolved items remain visible and that reconciled totals agree across schedules.

Deliverable

Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.

Business value: Complete receipts and reduce duplicate or mismatched bills.

Possible success measures: Missing receipts, duplicate exceptions, cost per bill. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.

Execution and verification

This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.

Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.

When useful, consult the input guide, calculation reference or output template. For tool setup, use the shared instructions.
