Chart of accounts
A starting chart for a Canadian small company: banded by account type, with gaps left for insertion, and the sales-tax and payroll liability accounts already separated. Columns: code, name, type, description
Month-end close checklist
The close as a dependency chain rather than a to-do list: fifteen steps in the order that avoids doing the reconciliations twice. Columns: step, task, owner, expected result, done
Bank reconciliation working paper
Statement balance to ledger balance with every difference named, plus an aged section for the reconciling items that have stopped being timing differences. Columns: line, description, amount
Sales tax return reconciliation
Tie the tax collected and input tax credits in your ledger to what you are about to file, with the checks that catch the usual errors first. Columns: line, description, amount
Payroll liability reconciliation
Each payroll liability account, its movement, and what its balance should be: the fastest place to find a missed remittance or a misposted pay run. Columns: account, opening balance, charged this period, remitted this period, closing balance, expected
Bookkeeper handover package
Everything a successor needs on day one: access, registrations, filing frequencies, judgements and contacts. The document that almost never gets written. Columns: area, item, held where, notes
