# Month-End Close Checklist for M&A Analysts

> AI runs the close checklist, prompts owners for missing items, flags JE variances over threshold, and writes the close memo — close window compresses from 10 business days to 4.

- **Role:** [M&A Analyst](https://calish.com/workflows/for/manda-analyst/)
- **Category:** [Operations & Workflow](https://calish.com/workflows/category/operations-and-workflow/)

## The Problem

Every Transaction Advisory month-end runs on a checklist in Datasite that lives in someone's head — and when that person is out, close slips and reviewers have no visibility into what's done vs. waiting.

## What We Build

AI runs the close checklist, prompts owners for missing items, flags JE variances over threshold, and writes the close memo — close window compresses from 10 business days to 4.

## Tools & Integrations

- Datasite
- Intralinks
- PitchBook
- Excel
- Slack

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current month-end close checklist process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
