Configuring Month End Close - MEC Settings
You can configure your Month End Close Report Settings for each individual Client. The following settings can be configured:
Client Reminders - Remind your client to review their transactions.
Team Notifications - Select which team members should receive notifications when a client comments, uploads documents, or adds notes to transactions.
Import Transactions - Import transactions, accounts, classes and tax codes from QuickBooks.
⚠️Please note. This option overrides existing transactions. Please approve any changes first before importing.
Disconnect Integration - Delete integration with QuickBooks Online. This frees up an MEC License.
💡Pro Tip: Best Practices
You do not have to wait until month end to start reviewing. You can run mini-reviews mid-month to catch issues early, reducing the end-of-month scramble.
Monitor & Improve: Keep an eye on how many exceptions show up, which clients consistently need more cleanup, and adjust your rules or workflows over time.
