Streamline Your Close with Trintech Close Task Management Software
Centralized Task Lists & Checklists
Standardize all close activities in one central checklist so everyone knows what needs to be done, when, and by whom. A single source of truth replaces scattered spreadsheets and manual to-do lists, ensuring each team member understands their role without the need for time-consuming status calls or emails.
Real-Time Status Tracking & Dashboards
Get instant visibility into the progress of the financial close through real-time close task dashboards that provide continuous, real-time feedback and status updates for every task. This allows controllers and CFOs can quickly spot bottlenecks or delays that need immediate attention.
Automatic Alerts & Notifications
Stay on top of deadlines with proactive alerts that trigger notifications to the appropriate stakeholder as soon as a task is completed, or if a task is approaching or past its due date. Taking this one step further, AI can predict delays, highlights dependencies, and flags high-risk tasks. These alerts ensure nothing falls through the cracks and issues can be resolved before they impact the close timeline.
Task Dependencies & Workflow Automation
Ensure tasks are done in the proper order every time by defining dependencies between tasks, so that certain activities cannot start until their prerequisite tasks are completed. This workflow eliminates manual hand-offs and prevents steps from being skipped or done out of order.
Centralized Documentation & Audit Trail
Attach workpapers, policies, and procedure documents directly to each task and store them in organized folders, creating a clear audit trail and streamlining compliance and audits. This eliminates version control issues and scattered files.
Approvals and Controls (Built-In Compliance)
Strengthen internal controls with built-in approval workflows and role-based task assignments. Separation of duties is embedded into the task management process – assign tasks to preparers and require a secondary review or approval before closure, or require electronic sign-offs and certifications by managers to ensure that every critical step is reviewed and completed with proper oversight.
