Month-End Package

The month-end package bundles the reports you need for a period into a single ZIP file. Pick an accounting period, choose PDF or Excel per report, select which statements to include, and DayZero builds the archive in the background. You receive an in-app notification with a download link when it is ready.

Requires the CFO Suite add-on.

Key capabilities

• One ZIP per accounting period with your choice of included reports
• PDF or Excel format for every report in the package
• Supported reports: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, AR Aging, AP Aging, Budget vs. Actual, Bank Reconciliation Summary
• Asynchronous build — queue and continue working; poll status or wait for inbox notification
• Download link regenerates on demand when you return to the package later
• Launched from Accounting Periods

How it works

You queue a build from the Accounting Periods page. A background job generates each selected report, packages them into a ZIP, stores the file securely, and notifies you when the download is ready.

How to use it

1. Open Accounting Periods and click Download Month-End Package.
2. Select the accounting period (or date range) to cover.
3. Choose PDF or Excel as the format for all reports in the package.
4. Check the reports to include — at minimum P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow for a standard close binder.
5. Click Build — status shows as queued, then in progress, then ready.
6. Open the notification or return to the package list and click Download when ready.

Pro tips

• Build the package after close-readiness is green — stale uncategorized transactions show up in every report inside the ZIP.
• Include AR and AP aging when sending a package to leadership or lenders — they expect working-capital detail alongside the core three statements.
• Budget vs. Actual only adds value when a budget exists for the same period.
• Re-download later from the package history — a fresh signed link is generated each time.
• For ad-hoc single reports, use the report pages directly; the package is for repeatable month-end handoffs.

Report options

Build status

Packages move through Queued → In progress → Ready (or Failed with an error message). Large periods with many reports may take a few minutes — you do not need to keep the page open.

When to use vs. individual exports

Use the month-end package when you need the same report set every month for a client binder, board packet, or lender request. Use per-report Excel buttons on each report page for one-off analysis or custom date ranges.
