Are Your Year-End Books Ready for Tax Filing, Lenders, or Investors?

Most business owners delay year-end close because internal staff are already overloaded, or because nobody on the team has deep GAAP experience for balance sheet preparation. That delay has a cost.

Missing or misstated financial statements risk audit delays, lender questioning, or investor skepticism, right when you need those relationships to work in your favor.

At KnowVisory Global, we prepare complete, reconciled, GAAP/IFRS-compliant financial statements using accountants with 15+ years of experience. A manual year-end close typically takes 6-8 weeks when handled internally. Our process cuts that to 2-4 weeks by combining experienced preparers with automated reconciliation tools.

What We Deliver: Year-End Financial Statement Preparation

Three core statements, fully reconciled and disclosure-ready.

Balance Sheet

Assets, liabilities, and equity reconciled to the general ledger and prepared to audit-ready standard.

Income Statement

Revenue, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and net income classified accurately and period-correct.

Statement of Cash Flows

Operating, investing, and financing activities laid out to show liquidity and working capital health.

GAAP/IFRS Compliance

All statements follow US GAAP or IFRS standards, with footnote disclosures for complex or judgment-heavy items.

Trial Balance Reconciliation

Post-close verification confirms every number ties out before submission to your tax preparer or auditor.

Our Year-End Close Process: From Raw Books to Auditor-Ready Financials

  1. Week 1-2: Ledger Review & Reconciliation

    We review the general ledger, reconcile accounts, and identify adjustments needed for accruals, cutoffs, and reclassifications.

  2. Week 2-3: Journal Entries & Cost Allocation

    We prepare journal entries, allocate costs, and update depreciation and fixed asset valuations.

  3. Week 3-4: Final Compile & Senior Review

    Statements are compiled, balance sheet tie-outs are performed, and a senior accountant reviews the full package before delivery.

  4. Turnaround

    Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from engagement start, depending on how complex and accurate your existing books are.

  5. Software Integration

    We prepare statements directly within QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or your existing ERP, so there's no manual re-entry required.

Our process is built to catch the specific errors that trigger audit questions or delay filing:

If two or more of these apply to your books right now, a structured year-end close will save you time and audit risk.

Flexible Engagement Models for Year-End Financial Statement Prep

Pick the model that matches your internal capacity and budget.

Fully Managed

We design and execute your year-end close process, then train your team to run it independently going forward.

Real-World Example: From Messy Year-End Books to Auditor-Ready Statements

A healthcare management company came to us with incomplete payroll accruals, unreconciled vendor accounts, and missing revenue cutoff entries at year-end.

Our team identified and corrected these issues in three weeks, delivering a complete, footnoted financial statement package that passed audit without adjustments.

The result: the business received their tax filing documents six weeks earlier than in prior years, avoiding late-filing penalties and lender pressure.

Common Questions About Year-End Financial Statement Prep

What's included in year-end financial statement preparation?
You receive a complete balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows, all reconciled to the general ledger and prepared under US GAAP or IFRS. The package includes footnote disclosures for complex items and a trial balance reconciliation summary showing every adjustment made.
How long does it take to prepare year-end financial statements?
Typical turnaround is 2-4 weeks from engagement start, depending on the complexity of your business and the accuracy of your existing books. Businesses with messy or incomplete records may need a catch-up phase before final statement prep begins.
How much does outsourced year-end close cost?
Pricing starts at $7.50/hour, which is significantly less than hiring a full-time controller or engaging a large accounting firm for a one-off close. Final cost depends on book complexity and the volume of reconciliation and adjustment work required.
Can you prepare year-end statements if our books are messy or incomplete?
Yes. We offer Catch-Up Bookkeeping and Bookkeeping Clean-Up services to bring your books current before final statement preparation, so incomplete or disorganized records don't have to delay your year-end close.
Will your year-end financials pass an audit?
Our statements are prepared to audit-ready standard, with reconciled trial balances, documented journal entries, and footnote disclosures for judgment-heavy items. Whether an audit ultimately passes depends on your specific auditor's scope, but our process is built to eliminate the common issues, unreconciled accounts, missing accruals, undocumented entries, that trigger audit findings.
Do you integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, or other accounting software?
Yes. We prepare statements directly within your existing system, including QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, and Zoho Books, so there's no manual re-entry and your internal team can review the work in the same platform they already use.
What if we need year-end statements prepared by a specific date for tax filing?
Tell us your deadline when you book a call. We scope the engagement around it, and if your books need catch-up work first, we build that into the timeline so you still hit your tax filing or lender submission date.
