Month-End Accounting Checklist

A recommended checklist of month-end accounting tasks for dealerships to complete in Blackpurl and their accounting package.

This checklist covers the month-end accounting tasks Blackpurl recommends dealerships complete. These are recommendations only — your dealership determines which tasks apply, and your accountant can advise on any additional reports you should run.

Complete Bank Reconciliation

Xero uses a bank feed to reconcile transactions as you go. The balances shown at the top of the screen reflect where you are on any given day, not just at the end of the statement period. When you receive the monthly bank statement, generate the Reconciliation report and review it for correctness. On the Bank Statement tab, verify that the beginning and ending balances match your statement. Then check the Summary tab for discrepancies — such as items that should have been reconciled but were not. If everything looks correct, publish the reconciliation.

Complete any other Control Account reconciliations
