Run, document, or review a structured month-end close process. Use when an accountant says "help me with month-end close", "close checklist", "end of month tasks", "what do I need to do to close the books", "journal entries for close", "reconciliation checklist", "accruals and prepaids", "intercompany eliminations", "trial balance review", "close sign-off", or anything related to closing a financial period. Also trigger when someone is preparing for a quarterly or year-end close and needs a…

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

## Overview

Based on **"Intermediate Accounting"** by Kieso, Weygandt, and Warfield - the definitive reference for GAAP-compliant period-end accounting. Month-end close is not a checklist of tasks; it is a controlled process that ensures the financial statements for the period are complete, accurate, and consistent with prior periods.

The principle: close in the right order. Work from operational accounts inward to the general ledger. Reconcile before you close. Review before you certify.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Pre-close - collect and cut off

Before posting any entries, establish a clean cutoff.

```
Revenue cutoff date: [date] - no revenue after this date posts to the current period
AP cutoff: [date] - all invoices received by this date must be accrued if not yet posted
Payroll cutoff: [date] - confirm last pay date and any accrued but unpaid wages
Inventory cutoff: [date] - confirm no receiving or shipping activity after cutoff
```

Actions:
- Communicate cutoff dates to operations, AP, and payroll before period end
- Pull a list of open POs and confirm which have been received (goods received, not yet invoiced = accrual needed)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/month-end-close@sha256:553aaeabdfa67177

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260307.8c0949a, 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.
