Inherit the mess. Find out what is in it.
A new client’s books arrive in whatever state the last person left them. The expensive part is not the fixing - it is discovering what is wrong before you have promised a fee.
What the diagnostics look for.
These run nightly across every client on the roster, not just the ones you are worried about.
Why a cleanup goes wrong, and what changes.
A diagnosis before a quote
The rules run across the roster nightly, so the condition of a file is a report rather than an afternoon of clicking.
What cannot be checked is said, not implied
Where a check needs data the file does not hold, Bursar says which data and why - it does not return a clean bill of health it has not earned.
Then the same engine that closes the month
A cleanup ends where every other month begins: current books, reconciled, with a memo of what is still open.
A clean bill of health has to be earned.
A diagnostic that passes and a diagnostic with no input look identical from the outside. Bursar reports which rules ran against what, so “no findings” means the check ran and found nothing - not that the check had nothing to read.
