Month-end close desk — FrontCFO Close Accelerator

Close Accelerator

Your close finishes when the sequence lets it, not when your team runs out of hours.

A slow close is a sequence and dependency problem, not an effort problem. The same data can support a short close or a long one. What differs is when inputs arrive, which tasks wait for others without needing to, and whether reconciliations and reviews are left to the close window.

We map every task, find the critical path, redesign the sequence, and oversee the first accelerated close. You agree the target in working days before we start, and we come back at month three to confirm it held.

One to five weeks depending on entity count.

What you get

Structural improvement. Handed back to your team.

Many clients start here rather than with a full diagnostic. Where a Finance360 follows within ninety days, the Close Accelerator is credited in full against it.
