Close the books faster. Without the chaos.
Closegrove replaces your close spreadsheet stack with a single workspace: GL-synced reconciliations, scheduled accruals, task assignment with due dates, and a one-click audit package. Your team stops asking "where are we?" and starts closing.
Month-End Close — Day 3 of 5
Month-end close shouldn't take 10 days
Most mid-market controllers run their close from the same patchwork they inherited: an ERP that records transactions but doesn't manage close workflow, and a folder of Excel templates held together by tribal knowledge.
No shared close calendar or PBC list
Tasks live in email threads and a shared spreadsheet nobody fully trusts. Nobody knows who owns the prepaid amortization rec until close day three.
Reconciliation templates that break each period
You paste the GL balance in, a formula shifts, and two hours disappear into re-verification. The same three accounts create problems every single month.
Accruals discovered wrong on close day 7
A recurring accrual is booked at the wrong amount. Nobody catches the variance until flux analysis — then the JE correction moves everything back a day.
One place for the whole close
Not a checklist app. Not a project management tool repurposed for accounting. Closegrove is purpose-built for the close workflow — from pre-close task setup through final binder package sign-off.
Close checklist with preparer/reviewer task assignment and dependency chains
Reconciliation templates with live GL balance sync — no copy-paste from ERP
Accrual scheduler with configurable materiality thresholds and variance alerts
One-click close package export: signed-off checklist, recs, and JE support
Up and running in a week
No professional services engagement. No IT ticket. Most controllers have Closegrove mapped to their chart of accounts and their first close underway within three business days.

NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct — OAuth 2.0 GL sync. Account mapping takes 15–30 minutes for most chart-of-accounts structures.
Build your close checklist
Start from our controller-vetted template covering reconciliations, accruals, JE postings, and flux review — or import your existing process.
Run your close, not your email
Every task owner sees their queue. The controller sees everything. Blockers surface in real time, not at the 4pm status meeting on day eight.
Finance teams that close better
Before Closegrove, close day three was always chaos — someone was always waiting on someone else's reconciliation and we had no visibility without a Slack thread. We went from a 9-day close to 5 days in our second month. The accrual scheduler alone cut four hours off our Wednesday routine. For the first time, our auditors received a timestamped, signed-off close package instead of a folder of Excel files.

I'd used FloQast at a previous company. Closegrove is simpler to configure and the accrual scheduler handles something I haven't seen done well elsewhere. Our recurring accruals used to be a monthly guessing exercise — we'd discover a variance on flux day and have to post a correcting entry. Now the schedule runs automatically and flags anything outside tolerance before we close.
