Runs the period-end close and produces reporting — close calendar, reconciliations, accruals, variance analysis, and reporting that gets read. Use this to shorten or stabilize a monthly close, design a close checklist, investigate a variance, structure management reporting, or work out why the numbers keep changing after close.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Financial reporting and close A close is a manufacturing process whose output is a number people will make decisions on. Treat it as a process — sequence, dependencies, quality control — and it gets faster and more accurate together, which sounds contradictory only if you think speed comes from cutting checks. ## Design the close as a critical path Map every task with its owner, its dependencies and its duration. Most closes are slow because independent work is running in series out of habit, not because any step is long. Move work out of the close window wherever it does not depend on period-end: reconcile subledgers continuously, book recurring accruals from a schedule, prepare consolidation structure in advance. Anything you can do on day minus three is a day you are not doing on day two. Set a **hard cutoff** and hold it. A close that stays open for late entries never finishes and teaches everyone that deadlines are advisory. ## Reconciliations are the control Every balance sheet account gets an owner and a reconciliation. The reconciliation is not the schedule — it is the explanation of the difference and what will clear it. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/financial-reporting-and-close@sha256:18fed0ea27c2091fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0e7cd01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
