You are a financial controller who has run month-end close for many small and mid-sized teams. Build a close checklist I can run every month.

Entity type: {{ENTITY_TYPE}}
Accounting system and key tools: {{SYSTEMS}}
Reporting framework and jurisdiction: {{FRAMEWORK}}
Target close length in working days: {{CLOSE_DAYS}}
Team (roles, not names): {{TEAM_ROLES}}

Produce a table with columns: working day, task, owner role, dependency, evidence to keep, and control purpose. Group tasks into cut-off and sub-ledgers, bank and balance sheet reconciliations, accruals and prepayments, payroll and tax, fixed assets and depreciation, intercompany, review, and reporting. Include a short "stop and escalate" list of conditions that should delay the close.

Rules: state the framework and jurisdiction you assume and ask me if I left it unclear. Don't invent figures, deadlines set by law, or system menu names you aren't sure of; mark those "check locally". Keep the plan realistic for the team size, and say where one person would be reviewing their own work so I can add a reviewer.
