Month-end close software
Close software for a small team, not a finance department
A task checklist by category, sign-offs, and an audit trail, with reconciliation built in instead of bolted on. Self-serve, flat pricing, no implementation project.
The checklist
Twenty tasks across six categories, every period
Cash, revenue, expenses, payroll, assets and reporting: the standard set of close tasks most small businesses run, with a due day for each so you know what is overdue before the last day of the month, not on it.
Start from the template and remove anything that does not apply. It stays as a standing process you run every period, not something you rebuild from scratch.

- Review undeposited funds
Sign-offs and audit trail
Know who closed what, and when
Cycle each task through its status and record a sign-off with the signed-in user and a timestamp. When a client or a colleague asks what happened to a task, the answer is the activity log, not a memory.
Nothing here needs a change-management process to turn on: it is on by default for every account.

Reconciliation, not a separate step
The cash category is your actual reconciliations
Most close checklists treat "reconcile the bank accounts" as a task you tick off after doing the work somewhere else. Ledgerler's cash category is backed by the same matching engine that reconciles the account: reference, date-window, unique-amount and combination passes, each shown with a confidence score. Complete the reconciliation and the close task reflects it automatically.
One flat price, no per-seat tiers
Free covers one account and one checklist so you can try the real workflow before you pay. See the full plan breakdown on the pricing page.
Month-end close software questions
- What does month-end close software actually do?
- It replaces a shared document or spreadsheet for the recurring list of tasks a business runs every period: reconciling accounts, posting accruals and payroll, reviewing the balance sheet, and locking the period once it ties out. Ledgerler tracks each task's status, records who signed it off and when, and keeps that history from one period to the next.
- Is this the same as the free close checklist tool?
- They share the same 20-task template, but the free tool at /tools/close-checklist is a one-off generator you print, copy or download as CSV. This is the always-on version: a running workspace with saved status, sign-offs and an audit trail across every period, tied to the accounts you actually reconcile in Ledgerler.
- Does close software replace bank reconciliation, or sit alongside it?
- Reconciliation is one category inside the checklist, not a separate product. Every bank and credit card account you reconcile in Ledgerler feeds its close task automatically, so you are not re-entering the same result twice.
- How is this different from BlackLine or FloQast?
- BlackLine and FloQast are built for finance departments closing books across many entities, with enterprise pricing and an implementation process. Ledgerler covers the same core idea, a task checklist with sign-offs and an audit trail, for one person or a small team, self-serve, at a flat monthly price. See the full comparisons on /vs/blackline and /vs/floqast.
- Does it work if I already use QuickBooks, Xero or NetSuite?
- Yes. The close checklist and reconciliation both work from CSV exports, so they sit alongside whatever accounting system you already run rather than replacing it. See /integrations for the specifics per platform.
- What does it cost?
- One free checklist and a single account to reconcile at no cost. Pro is a flat $29/mo for unlimited accounts, checklists, saved match rules, exports and API access, with no per-seat pricing and no annual contract.
