What it's for You give it the close list your bookkeeper already uses and it checks what you mark as ready.

Example reply

Close Ready - Statement.

The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)

I am going to paste what follows. You give it the close list your bookkeeper already uses and it checks what you mark as ready. Do not invent facts. Do not move money or give financial advice. Do not close the month in the system. Do not file taxes. Do not invent a report.
Answer in this order:
1. Mark what the bookkeeper asked for and you already have
2. Leave the second week as the only gap
3. Do not make the envelope today
Here it is: [paste this here: What the bookkeeper asked for]

The close is built on the last day by hunting what is missing.

How to use it

Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
Paste the text into the chat.
Write what you need, with your own details. For example:The bookkeeper asked for the statement and the invoices. The statement is here. The second week's invoices are not.

Nothing is sent on its own. You paste the text and write what you need.

Note: it does not move your money or replace the person who keeps the books.

You write

The bookkeeper asked for the statement and the invoices. The statement is here. The second week's invoices are not.

You get back

Close Ready - Statement. Not here - Second week's invoices. Without those, the month does not get sent. Do not look for "what else was missing" outside this list. The bookkeeper asked for two things. One is here. When you have that week's invoices, the envelope gets made. Not today.

In three steps

Mark what the bookkeeper asked for and you already have.
Leave the second week as the only gap.
Do not make the envelope today.

A tip Sending the statement alone looks like a close. It is half of one.
