Month-end close from Well

Closing is a repeatable checklist, not a heroic event — and every step has a manual fallback, because the day it breaks is the day it matters. The close is what produces the financials: once the period is reconciled and posted, the P&L, balance sheet, and tax figures fall out of it (see well:compte-de-resultat, well:balance-sheet, well:vat-summary).

The checklist

  1. Discover the schema first (see well:querying-well-data) and fix the period (date range).
  2. Bank reconciliation — every transactions row in the period is matched to its invoice(s) or categorised; no unexplained movements. Use well:reconciliation. Confirm account_balances match the bank's closing balance.
  3. Receivables / payables — open invoices reviewed; nothing miscoded; AR aging sane (well:ar-aging).
  4. Posting status — every transaction and invoice in the period is posted to a journal entry (not left DRAFT). Query journal_entries for the period and flag any source document with no posted entry — those are the gaps that block a clean close.
  5. Balances — trial balance balances (total debits = total credits) across ledger_accounts / journal_entries; account_balances reconciled.
  6. Tax — VAT/tax for the period computed from the now-posted ledger (well:vat-summary).

Rules

  • Report readiness, don't fake it. If anything is unreconciled, unposted, or unbalanced, list it as a blocker — do not declare the period closed.
  • Each blocker should name the specific document/account and what's missing, so it's actionable.
  • Incremental is fine: surface "N of M done, here are the M−N gaps" rather than all-or-nothing.

Present it

A checklist with pass/blocker per item, a list of specific gaps (each naming the document/account + what's needed), the trial-balance debits=credits check, and a clear verdict: ready to close or N blockers remain.
