What we will cover

✓The four reconciliations that cause 80% of close delays, and why three of them can be done before the month even ends
✓A close checklist you can copy — owner, deadline, and dependency for each line
✓Cutting the accrual review from a full day to about an hour with a materiality threshold nobody argues about
✓When a close is genuinely slow versus when it is just undocumented, and how to tell the difference in one cycle
✓Live Q&A — bring your actual close calendar and we will pull it apart

Ritu Deshmukh

Founder, Ledgerline · former Financial Controller

Ritu ran month-end close at two companies through a merger and an audit qualification, which is where most of this material comes from. She has since trained finance teams at roughly 300 companies and still keeps her own close checklist in a spreadsheet, which she will show you.

“We went from a fourteen-day close to six in one quarter, and the only thing that changed was the checklist and the accrual threshold. I expected a sales pitch and got an actual working session.”

Questions

What if I cannot make the live session?+

Is this actually free?+

Yes, and there is no upsell at the end. We run these because about one in twenty attendees later hires us, and that has always been enough.

Who is this for?+

Finance leads, controllers, and founders who own the close at companies with roughly 3 to 30 people in finance. It assumes you already run a monthly close.

Will you share the slides?+

There are barely any slides — it is mostly a live walkthrough of a real close calendar. You will get that calendar as a spreadsheet.
