Close / Close and accounting workflow management

Close the month
with proof.

Run the month-end close and every recurring finance task in one place: tax and statutory deadlines, payroll and treasury, each task with an owner, a reviewer and a due date. Tasks linked to a reconciliation complete themselves when the account is signed off.

01 / Workflows and templates

Start from a template
written for Nigeria.

Each workflow is a checklist opened for every period, with tasks, owners, reviewers and due dates. Start from a template and change anything.

  • Month-end close
  • Monthly tax and statutory remittances
  • Year-end tax and statutory returns
  • Payroll
  • E-invoicing
  • Fund manager month-end and SEC returns
  • Fintech settlement and CBN returns
  • Client month-end and company secretarial, for accounting firms

The timeline shows each checklist’s period, the tasks due and the statutory dates.
03 / Preparer and reviewer

Every task signed off
by the right people.

  • Each task is prepared, then reviewed by someone else, with evidence attached and review notes answered.
  • Tasks linked to a reconciliation complete themselves when that account is signed off.
  • Requests to clients, banks and other departments go out by secure link, with no sign-in needed, and the reply is filed on the task.
  • Daily and weekly reminders, and a guest auditor view of the work you choose.

04 / Balance review

Every unusual movement
explained before sign-off.

Bring in the trial balance and Brillrec compares it with the month before and the same month last year. Accounts that move by more than your limits are flagged, explained by the preparer and reviewed by someone else. The month’s close task and the balance review control follow.

05 / Dashboard and analytics

See where the close
stands, and where it slips.

The dashboard shows the close, overdue tasks and the deadline calendar. Analytics shows how long each close took, what was late and who it was waiting on, month by month.

One platform

Each task closes when
its reconciliation is signed off.

Close works with Reconciliation and Controls: the bank reconciliation task completes when the account is signed off, and the close review proves the control.
