A clearer way to review hotel month-end

Download a practical checklist covering revenue, payroll, departmental expenses, reconciliations, reporting, and final review.

What it helps with

  • Catching the things that are usually found late, before the pack is circulated.
  • Giving a new team member something to follow during their first close.
  • Running the same review each period instead of a different one each time.
  • Deciding where a fuller close process would actually save you time.

What is included

One printable page, divided into five sections: revenue review, payroll review, departmental expense review, reconciliation review, and reporting and final review. Each section is a short list of checks written in plain language, with room to tick them off on paper.

Who it is for

Controllers, assistant controllers, hotel accountants, directors of finance and general managers who see the numbers before anyone else does. It is equally useful at a small independent property and inside a management company.

This checklist is a general prompt list, not a procedure. It does not replace your company's month-end procedures, your accounting policies or your own professional judgement, and it makes no compliance claim.

What happens next

Most providers send a short confirmation email first. Open it and click the confirmation link, and the checklist follows straight after. If neither arrives, check your spam or promotions folder, then email support@hotelfinancetools.com.
