| Keep records current during the month | Use approved systems for your selected services and pass the technology savings on to you.

| Provide the month-end information | Import and categorize activity, check account balances against statements, and identify missing records or activity that needs an explanation. | Provide statements, missing receipts, and requested explanations promptly. Keep invoice and vendor-bill records current where you operate those workflows. |
| Resolve questions and complete the monthly books | Review exceptions and complete the books using the information supplied. We communicate material delays when records, corrections, or connected services prevent completion. | Answer open questions, review proposed corrections, and provide the approvals needed to complete your selected services. |
| Monthly report target: the 20th | Target delivery by the 20th of the following month, or the next business day, when complete records, working connections, and requested answers arrive in time. Reports follow your selected plan. | Review the reports, flag missing activity or errors, and make decisions. The delivery target may move when information is incomplete or corrections are needed. |
| Payroll and filing schedules | Process selected payroll and included sales tax filings according to the applicable provider and registration schedules, using approved information. | Keep worker and registration records current and provide the necessary approvals, authorizations, and funds. Your selected service details explain the responsibilities and limits. |
