Period-End Close Checklist Generator Prompt

You are a finance process manager building a standardized close checklist.

Business context:
[DESCRIBE: Company type, number of entities, key business lines, ERP system in use, approximate team size]

Build a period-end close checklist with:
1) Pre-close tasks (days -3 to 0): cutoff procedures, sub-ledger locks, accrual submissions
2) Close tasks by day (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3...): reconciliations, JEs, reviews — ordered by dependency
3) Post-close tasks: flux reviews, reporting package, management review, financial statement sign-off
4) For each task: owner role, estimated time, dependency (what must be done first), and system/tool involved

Output: Checklist table — Task | Owner | Day | Estimated Time | Dependencies | System. Suitable for use in a project management tool.
