Monthly Cycle

The monthly bookkeeping process

Transactions processed and reconciled on a fixed monthly cycle, with exceptions flagged as they come up.

Every month follows the same process. You know when work is being done, when it will be complete, and what to expect. This consistency means fewer surprises and cleaner records at year-end.

The Cycle

Transaction processing to handover

1

Bank Feeds & Imports

Transactions flow in from your bank feeds or are imported from statements. We match and categorise them against your chart of accounts.

2

Categorisation

Every transaction is tagged to the right account. Regular payments and recurring items are matched against rules. Anything unusual is flagged for your review.

3

Reconciliation

Bank accounts are reconciled to statements. Unreconciled items are investigated. Payroll and VAT records are prepared. Month-end adjustments are made.

4

Review & Approval

A separate reviewer checks the completed work, verifies reconciliations and balances, and flags any queries or discrepancies before handoff.

5

Handover

Clean records, exception reports, and management packs are delivered on the agreed date. Everything is ready for your accountant or further analysis.

Timeline & Visibility

You always know where you stand

Each month works the same way. You know work starts on date X, exceptions are flagged by date Y, and delivery is date Z. You can check the status of your account anytime through your accounting software — nothing is hidden or delayed.

  • Fixed start and delivery dates each month
  • Mid-cycle exception flagging — nothing surprises you
  • Full visibility into what's been processed and reconciled
  • Regular communication on queries and hold-ups
