End-of-day close assistant

A guided checklist for closing the day, balancing the takings against the system and producing the daily report.

Open the tool

What it does

The end of the day is when small errors either get caught or become month-end problems. The assistant keeps the steps in order and makes any difference between the system and the till obvious.

Who can use it

  • Night auditors
  • Shift and store managers
  • Bookkeepers

Where it fits

  • Hotel night audit
  • Restaurant and shop cash-up
  • Any business that balances tills each day

How to use it

  1. Work through the checklist in order
  2. Enter the totals from the system and from the till or card terminal
  3. Fix any differences it flags
  4. Print or save the daily report

Limitations

  • Totals are typed in, not read from your system
  • The checklist follows a typical hotel close until you edit it

What's next

  • Editable checklists
  • A cash-up edition for restaurants and shops

Run it on your own data

  1. In the browser (today)Free, no sign-up. What you enter stays on your device. Good for trying it and for small teams.
  2. On your files or databasePoint the same logic at your exports or a database view (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Azure SQL or DuckDB), on your own machine or network.
  3. As a pipeline and warehouseA scheduled ETL job pulls from your systems (reservations, point of sale, inventory, payroll) into a star-schema warehouse, runs data-quality checks, and the tool or a Power BI report reads the result every morning.

What that adds here

  • Read system totals automatically so only the counted cash is typed
  • Keep every day's report in a database for audits

How I'd set it up for you

I'd map your exports or database to the tool's model, package the job in a container that runs on your server or cloud account, add the checks your data needs, and hand over the code and a runbook. Your data stays on your systems. Get in touch if you'd like it fitted to your business.
