In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Finance and Accounting Professionals
Close Status Update for the Controller
Prompt
Close day and target finish date: {{CLOSE_DAY}}
Task notes (done, in progress, blocked, with owners): {{TASK_NOTES}}
Known risks or judgment areas: {{RISKS}}
Write a message of no more than 200 words in this order: overall status in one sentence (on track, at risk, or late, and why), what is done, what is in progress with expected finish, what is blocked and who can unblock it, decisions I need from the controller (each as a question with a recommended answer), and the revised finish date if it has moved.
Rules: be plain and specific; no cheerleading. Use only the information given, and don't promise a date that the notes don't support. If the notes are contradictory or missing an owner, list the gaps after the message under "to confirm before sending". Add no financial figures unless they appear above. Don't write anything the notes don't support.
