Engagement
Year-End Close Readiness Support
Hands-on guidance for finance teams preparing binders, schedules, and evidence packs ahead of an external audit.
Audit fieldwork moves faster when the close binder is complete. Our readiness support helps your finance team assemble reconciliations, cut-off evidence, inventory count documentation, and disclosure drafts before the audit team arrives.
This is advisory support for preparation — not an audit, and not a substitute for bookkeeping. We remain independent of any concurrent Maple Crest audit engagement for the same entity; when we are your auditors, readiness coaching is limited to clarifying information requests, not preparing the accounts.
Typical deliverables
A tailored readiness checklist, review comments on draft schedules, and a short kickoff briefing for your controller on the sequence of fieldwork days.
