Claim
A month you can still steer.
Evidence
Close calendar, bank vs PMS, owner-page timestamps.
Caveat
Month one was a night-audit job. The books were not the first problem.
Situation
The P&L arrived on the 22nd. Reimbursables hid in ‘other.’ The owner had already spent the month.
Approach
Tide & Ledger mapped three reconciling items. Folio One emitted the morning page. Ashcroft named the lines that move the year. The night audit had to get clean first.
Outcome
Three consecutive closes by day 8. Reimbursables visible. The owner page arrived the morning of the close.
“They would not sign a close they had not seen. That was the whole engagement.”
