Everything your month-end close needs

Built for Indian finance teams and the accountants who close books for several companies.

Plan the close

Working-day schedule

Every task sits on a close day from WD-3 to WD10. CloseDesk dates them from your first working day, skipping weekends and your holiday list.

Templates

Keep your checklist as a template with owners, working days and dependencies. Start each close from it, or copy last month’s close.

Quarter, half-year and year end

Tasks marked quarterly or yearly join the close only at those period ends, following your fiscal year (April to March by default).

Statutory due dates

GST, TDS and other filings use their legal dates, such as the 11th or 20th of the following month, and move when the date falls on a holiday.

Dependencies

A task can wait on others. It shows as blocked until they are signed off, so work happens in the right order.

Ad hoc tasks

Add one-off work, such as replying to a notice, with its own due date. It stays out of future closes.

Do the work

My Workarea

The first page after sign-in: what is due today, tomorrow, this week or this month and waiting on you, across every company, filtered by company and close. Staff managers see the whole team’s pending items and filter by person.

Three-step sign-off

Preparer, optional reviewer and approver come from Roles for each functional area. The server checks each step, so no one can sign for someone else.

Reconciliations

Build reconciliations line by line with your own columns, see the unexplained difference and ageing, and check open invoices against the subledger.

Invoices and parties

Keep supplier and customer invoices, credit and debit notes, and payments. Paste an open-items report from Excel to load many at once.

GSTR-2B matching

Upload the GSTR-2B JSON from the GST portal and match it to your purchase register, with tolerance and fuzzy invoice-number matching.

Comments, mentions and files

Discuss each task in place, @mention a colleague and attach workpapers. Attaching and removing files is logged.

Run many companies

One account, many companies

Add companies as your plan allows. Everyone in the account can work in all of them.

Consolidated work area

See every task in every close of every company. Filter by company, by close period, or both.

Create closes together

Start next month’s close for one, several or all companies at once. Each uses its own template, roles and calendar.

Report and control

Reports

Overview, My work and Compliance calendar for everyone; Team workload, On-time sign-off, Payables and receivables ageing and GST at risk for admins. Download any table as CSV.

Admins and staff

Admins change settings, people, companies and the plan. Staff do the close work.

Audit trail

Every step is logged with who did it. Signed-off tasks are locked until an approver or admin reopens them.

Reports for the whole team

See where every close stands, who is overloaded, what was signed off late and how much input tax credit is at risk, company by company or in total.
