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 judgment, and it makes no compliance claim.

The checklist is not being sent out yet

Automatic delivery is still being set up, so there is no form to complete on this page at the moment. The checklist described above is not yet available for download.

If you would like a copy when it is ready, email support@hotelfinancetools.com and it will be sent to you directly. Nothing is charged for it.
