A practical monthly financial review

A regular review helps a business understand what changed and which records need attention.

1. 01

   Confirm the period

   Check the date range, balances, and whether all relevant accounts and records are included.

2. 02

   Compare income and costs

   Look at trends against the prior month or an appropriate budget, then inspect the underlying entries.

3. 03

   Review open items

   Check overdue invoices, upcoming bills, and records with missing details.

4. 04

   Write down follow-up

   Assign a next step and owner for unresolved questions, then revisit them in the next review.
