# Month-End Close Checklist for SaaS Controllers

> 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.

## The Problem

Every SaaS Finance month-end runs on a checklist in NetSuite 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

- NetSuite
- Stripe
- Maxio
- Google Drive

## 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.
