QBO Closing Package & Status
See where your QuickBooks Online close stands, step by step: cash, revenue/AR, expenses/AP, payroll/balance sheet, inventory, and the close itself. Mark each one done, accepted with open items, or blocked. Once every step's cleared, it pulls your final P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and a starting set of KPIs — ready for the controller handoff. If something's still blocked, it says so plainly. You won't get a report that looks finished when it isn't. It only reads your QuickBooks data. It never changes anything, and it never touches your closing date. Run it with the connection's write tools turned off.
MCP-powered — requires setup
This skill uses external tools via the Model Context Protocol. You'll need to configure the following MCPs before installing.
Required MCPs
Community MCP server for QuickBooks Online. Provides the P&L, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows report tools this skill reads from for the final closing package. Run it with QUICKBOOKS_DISABLE_WRITE, QUICKBOOKS_DISABLE_UPDATE, and QUICKBOOKS_DISABLE_DELETE set, since this skill writes nothing to QBO and never sets or changes the closing date.

QBO Closing Package & Status
See where your QuickBooks Online close stands. Get the final reports your controller needs — but only once everything’s actually ready.
Tell it the status of each checklist step: cash, revenue/AR, expenses/AP, payroll/balance sheet, inventory, and the close itself. Mark each one done, accepted with open items, or blocked. It doesn’t check the other reconciliation skills’ work for you — there’s no shared connection between them in this repo, so it goes by what you tell it. If something’s still blocked, it says so and stops. You won’t get a closing package that looks finished when it isn’t.
Once every step clears, it pulls your period’s P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and a starting set of KPIs — gross margin, operating cash flow, cash runway, days sales outstanding, current ratio — from QuickBooks. It restates any accepted-with-open-items steps right alongside the final numbers, so nothing gets buried. It never writes anything back to QuickBooks, and it never touches your closing date — locking the period is still your call, done directly in QuickBooks. Run it with the connection’s write tools turned off.
