The problem

A month-end close combines detailed entries with engagement-wide progress. A reviewer needs to verify the entry and its evidence without losing the broader close checklist.

The direction

Balan gives a balanced payroll accrual its own decision screen, with workpapers, engagement ownership and the remaining approval beside the ledger.

Inside the product

  1. Open the engagement

    The close overview identifies active engagements, work awaiting review and the journal task.

  2. Check the entry

    Account, debit and credit columns preserve accounting conventions and show the balanced total.

  3. Review and approve

    Supporting workpapers and engagement details accompany approval, with a return-for-changes alternative.

Design decisions

Use the team’s vocabulary

Engagements, journal entries and workpapers replace generic project labels.

Keep evidence adjacent

The ledger and review panel sit side by side, allowing the numbers and the approval context to remain visible together.

What we would validate next

Map the firm’s chart of accounts, ledger integration, review authority, workpaper storage and approval history before implementing the close workflow.

This is an independent design exploration. The screens use illustrative brands and records; they describe a proposed experience.
