Current books
Transactions are recorded in the agreed system and reviewed on a regular timetable.
Books that stay current and explainable
Close every month with records you can rely on.
DebitMark maintains the books, reconciles material balances and completes an agreed monthly close before reports are issued.
What should improve
What changes in the first three months.
The exact result depends on the records, systems and management follow-through.
Supported balances
Material accounts are tied to bank records, schedules or clear supporting evidence.
A real month-end
The reporting date follows a defined cut-off, close checklist and review.
Defined deliverables
Issued every month, after review.
Frequency and exact format are confirmed in the engagement proposal.
Bookkeeping
Ledger maintenance from records included in the agreed scope.
Reconciliations
Bank, payment gateway and selected control-account reconciliations.
Close checklist
A visible record of completed checks, open items and review status.
Financial statements
Monthly profit and loss and balance sheet after review.
Supporting schedules
Working support for agreed material balance-sheet accounts.
Open-items report
Exceptions, missing records and actions assigned before reporting.
The working sequence
From records to a closed month.
Each stage keeps unresolved matters visible, so a later deliverable never looks more certain than the records behind it.

Monthly close
A founder’s monthly close checklist: what must be true before the numbers are final
A close date only means something when material balances are supported, reviewed and assigned where follow-up is needed.
Accounting & AIWill Businesses Still Need Accountants in 2030? Yes, but Probably Not the Accountant You Have Today
Businesses will still need accounting judgement, review and accountability in 2030. What will reduce sharply is the value of repetitive data entry and report preparation without interpretation.
Service questions
Before the work begins.
The written proposal always takes priority over a general website description.
Can you take over from our present accountant?+
Yes, after an orderly handover. We first review opening balances, records, access and pending compliance so recurring work does not begin with hidden gaps.
When will the monthly reports be ready?+
The reporting date depends on record availability and complexity. The proposal states both your input cut-off and DebitMark's reporting date.
Can you clean up old books?+
Yes. Historical clean-up is assessed and quoted separately because the condition of earlier records changes the amount of work.
Start with the month that has to close cleanly.
We will review the requirement and reply within one business day. If the work is a good fit, we agree the scope in writing before anything begins.
