What Does Pinstripe Close Show?

Four clear steps

Receipts in, Reconciled, Reviewed, and Delivered, drawn as a stitched line so you can see how far along the month is.

An expected date

We set the date we expect to deliver your snapshot, so you can plan around it.

A notification when it is done

When your snapshot is published, you get an in-app notification that opens it directly.

A plain-English status

A sentence such as We are reviewing your numbers, in place of internal jargon.

Tells you what we need

If we are waiting on a statement or receipts, the first step says so, and you can send them with Pinstripe Sync.

Built for your phone

The same tracker appears in the iPhone and iPad app and on the web.

How Does the Month-End Close Work?

Every month follows the same four steps. Here is what each one means.

  1. Receipts in

    Your bank and card statements, receipts, and bills for the month are uploaded or connected.

  2. Reconciled

    We match every transaction to your statements so the books agree with the bank.

  3. Reviewed

    We check categories, odd amounts, and open invoices, and write our note.

  4. Delivered

    Your monthly snapshot is published in Pinstripe Ledger and you are notified.

Why We Built Pinstripe Close

The most common question we hear from bookkeeping clients is whether the month is done yet. Pinstripe Close answers it without an email.

The final step publishes your Pinstripe Ledger snapshot. Send us documents with Pinstripe Sync, and see our monthly bookkeeping checklist for what a clean month depends on.

Pinstripe Close tracks our bookkeeping work. It is not a tax filing. Learn about our bookkeeping services.
