Month-end close

Month-end close is the recurring process of finalizing books for a specific accounting period.

Core close tasks include reconciliation, categorization cleanup, accrual adjustments, and report review.

Delayed close usually comes from unresolved exceptions and missing ownership.

TallyClaw is designed to shorten close cycles through monthly support and AI-assisted queue management.
