Use case

Month-end close, as a checklist.

The close checklist updates as the work gets done: reconciliations tick themselves off, accruals and flux arrive with their evidence, and every task waits for the person who owns it.

The problem

A spreadsheet of tasks nobody trusts.

The close lives in a shared spreadsheet that says what should happen, not what has. Status meetings exist to find out which.

Accruals are rebuilt from memory every month, and flux explanations are written the night before the board pack.

The workflow

Four steps, three of them Tessel’s.

  1. 01

    Your checklist, once

    Import the close checklist you already use, with an owner and a due day for each task.

  2. 02

    Tessel does the reconciling

    Reconciliation tasks tick themselves off as accounts tie out.

  3. 03

    Accruals and flux arrive drafted

    Suggested accruals and movement explanations wait for a reviewer.

  4. 04

    Sign off in order

    The controller signs last, with every task and its evidence in one view.
