"Month-End Reporting should give leadership the information they need to see how the business is performing. To achieve this visibility, there are some core reports I would include in the reporting package each month. First and foremost, I would include a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows. For supplemental schedules, I would include a summary of key performance indicators, as well as a sales breakdown. Are there any other schedules that leadership at this company would like to see each month?"

The month-end close process includes reviewing the company's balance sheet, intercompany trades, journal entries, and other documents (like bank statements, income, and expenses) and reconciling them. Month-end close is a systematic process of maintaining a record of the business's financial activities.
