Monthly Financial Close Briefing
Turn your month-end Xero or QuickBooks close into a board-ready briefing doc, staged for one-click send.
At every month-end this recipe pulls the finalized P&L and cash-flow numbers straight from Xero or QuickBooks, reconciles them, and turns them into a formatted Google Doc briefing with headline metrics, MoM/YoY deltas, cash runway, variance commentary, and a labeled forward view. It then stages an email to founders and board plus a Slack summary. Every figure is sourced from the ledger, projections are clearly separated from actuals, and nothing is created or sent until you approve the staged package.
How it runs
Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.
Resolves the reporting period, confirms Xero/QuickBooks is live, computes the idempotency briefing key, and halts if no accounting connection.
workflow orchestratorFinds the upcoming board meeting for framing and derives the recipient set from invitees; the recipient suppression / do-not-contact gate runs here.
calendar scannerPulls P&L and cash-flow reports for the period plus the two comparison periods, each figure captured with its ledger source.
payment scannerReads the connected supporting-docs folder for accountant adjustments and footnotes so they are reflected, not missed.
docs managerVerifies P&L and cash tie out, flags variances past threshold, and catches open-books / missing-period / currency-mismatch silent failures.
reconciliation checkerComputes headline metrics and deltas and drafts the plain-English what-happened-this-month commentary from the reconciled ledger.
revenue analystProduces named health indicators (runway, margin trend, expense-vs-revenue growth, cash conversion), each with an explicit basis.
business health scorerExtends the closed month into a projected runway and next-quarter trajectory, each labeled a projection with its assumptions stated.
forecast modelerComposes the full briefing in brand voice, separating sourced actuals from assumption-stated projections section by section.
board report writerStructures the briefing into the exact Google Doc layout with metrics table, how-to-read footnote, and source line.
report formatterAssembles the staged distribution plan — Google Doc, per-audience email drafts, Slack summary — against the confirmed recipients; nothing is created or sent until approval.
