SOUND FAMILIAR
What slows a portco close
Sponsor deadlines
The monthly pack is due on a fixed day, whatever the close looks like.
Lender reporting
Covenant numbers need support that holds up to questions.
Key-person risk
When the one person who knows the close leaves, so does the method.

THE FIRST QUARTER
Where a portco close usually goes wrong
A portco close does not fail on the accounting. It fails on timing. Every acquisition adds entities mid-year, every sponsor reporting pack is due on a fixed day whatever happened in the month, and the one person who knows how it all works is usually on their way out. Assisted Close takes the mechanics off that person.
- Day 0
Onboarding starts the week the deal closes
We sit inside your 100-day plan rather than beside it, so the close is one workstream among the operating plan rather than a negotiation with it.
- Day 30
A dependable close, not a heroic one
First live close delivered by business day 6, produced the same way it will be produced every month after that.
- Add-on
New entities fold into the rules
Intercompany and elimination rules are agreed up front and versioned, so a mid-term acquisition is a configuration change rather than a scramble.
THE REPORTING PACK
What actually arrives
The monthly pack is delivered in your format, on the day you agreed, built from the same traced run that produced the close.
- The signed close pack by business day 6, in your reporting format
- Intercompany eliminations with the supporting detail behind each one
- Covenant-relevant balances with the query history that explains them
- Variance commentary a board member can read without asking a follow-up
- An evidence export that holds up when a lender or buyer asks how a number was reached

AND AT EXIT
Exit
Diligence asks for three years of consistent reporting and a trail behind every number in the first two. If the close has been run the same way every month on one system, that is a question you can answer with an export rather than a reconstruction. You keep the rules and the trail whichever way the situation goes.
