Schedule Management

Organize financial schedules in a clear L2/L3 hierarchy with ownership, deadlines, and status tracking. Never miss a close deadline again.

The Problem with Scattered Schedules

Financial schedules live in dozens of Excel files scattered across team members' desktops and shared drives. There is no hierarchy, no clear ownership, and no centralized view of progress. Deadlines are tracked in emails and chat messages, leading to missed close dates, audit findings, and frustrated team members who cannot see the bigger picture.

Key Benefits

Replace scattered spreadsheets with a structured, trackable schedule management system designed for financial close.

Clear Hierarchy

Organize schedules in L2/L3 structure that mirrors your chart of accounts. Drill down from high-level categories to detailed breakdowns.

Assigned Ownership

Every schedule has a clear owner with defined roles: Creator, Reviewer, and Verifier. No ambiguity about who is responsible.

Deadline Tracking

Set due dates for each schedule with automatic reminders. Escalate overdue items to managers before they become critical.

Monthly Organization

Organize schedules by month and period. Roll forward templates from prior months with pre-populated opening balances.

How It Works

Set up your schedule hierarchy once and use it every month. From structure to assignments in four steps.

01

Admin Creates L2 Categories

Define top-level ledger groupings like Fixed Assets, Bank Reconciliation, Accounts Payable, and more. These map directly to your chart of accounts structure.

02

Map GL Codes to L2

Link your general ledger codes to L2 categories. When trial balance data flows in, it automatically populates the correct schedule.

03

Create L3 Sub-Schedules

Break down L2 categories into detailed L3 schedules. For example, Fixed Assets becomes Land & Buildings, Plant & Machinery, Vehicles, and Office Equipment.

04

Assign to Team Members

Assign each schedule to team members by role. Set due dates, configure automatic reminders, and establish the review workflow for each schedule.
