The Year-Close Financial Checkup.
A December worksheet for owners who want to hand their CPA a clean file — not a shoebox. Cleanup, 1099s, year-end entries, and the handoff list.
What's inside
Everything your CPA will ask for.
- December reconciliation checklist — bank, card, and loan accounts
- 1099 vendor list + W-9 gap check
- Year-end journal entries (depreciation, accruals, owner draws)
- Balance sheet scrub — what needs to tie out before Jan 31
- CPA handoff list: reports, statements, and exports they'll need
Who it's for
Owners who don't want April to be a panic.
The owners who make tax season a non-event are the ones who clean up in December. This worksheet is the exact list we run through with our clients in Q4 — so by the time the CPA calls, the answers are already in the file.
