The Best Easy Month End Alternative for Accounting Teams
CloseFlow gives you everything Easy Month End offers — close checklists, balance sheet reconciliations, and audit evidence — plus the controls Easy Month End never shipped: approval workflows, vendor onboarding, lease accounting, fixed assets and prepaids. One actively developed platform instead of a product in transition.

Why Teams Switch from Easy Month End to CloseFlow
Easy Month End nailed close checklists and reconciliations. But accounting teams need more than checklists — and with Easy Month End now part of Mayday, many teams are choosing a future-proof standalone platform.
Close, Quarter & Year-End Checklists
Recurring close checklists with owners and sign-offs that roll forward automatically each period.
Faster Balance Sheet Reconciliations
Account-by-account recs with attachments, variance flags, and reviewer sign-off. CloseFlow matches Easy Month End's QBO-populated reconciliation module and adds deeper cross-app visibility.
Audit Evidence in One Place
Every action is timestamped and attachable. Invite auditors with read-only access so they pull what they need without chasing your team.
Team Workload Visibility
See who owns what, what's blocked, and how the close is tracking — across every app, not just close tasks.
Approval Workflows (Missing in Easy Month End)
Multi-step, threshold-based approvals for bills, POs, and expenses — eliminate the need for ApprovalMax bolted on top.
Lease Accounting, Fixed Assets & Prepaids
ASC 842, book depreciation, and prepaid amortization, with journal entries that push to QuickBooks Online after approval.
Native QuickBooks Online Sync
Both platforms pull your trial balance from QBO for reconciliations. CloseFlow extends that sync to approvals, vendor onboarding, lease accounting, fixed assets, and prepaids — and pushes journal entries back to the GL.
Close Analytics
Track close duration, bottlenecks, recurring rec issues, and approval cycle times across your entire accounting operation.
Actively Developed Standalone Product
CloseFlow is purpose-built for accounting teams and shipping new features every month — no acquisition transition to navigate.

Learn MoreEasy Month End Alternative FAQs
Is CloseFlow a direct replacement for Easy Month End?
Yes. CloseFlow covers everything Easy Month End delivers — month, quarter and year end checklists, recurring task roll-forwards, balance sheet reconciliations, audit evidence collection, and team workload visibility — plus a full control stack that Easy Month End never built: approval workflows, vendor onboarding, lease accounting, fixed assets, and prepaids.
Easy Month End was acquired by Mayday. What does that mean for me?
Easy Month End publicly announced it is now part of Mayday, which has shifted product focus. If you want a standalone, actively developed close and control platform built specifically for accounting teams, CloseFlow is a like-for-like replacement and gives you a longer runway than a product in transition.
Does CloseFlow connect to QuickBooks Online?
Yes. CloseFlow connects to QuickBooks Online over OAuth 2.0 and syncs your trial balance, vendors, customers, bills, and purchase orders. Recurring journal entries, lease entries, depreciation, and prepaid amortization are generated in CloseFlow and can push to QuickBooks Online after approval — something Easy Month End does not do natively.
How does CloseFlow pricing compare to Easy Month End's $24/month plan?
Both platforms charge per organization rather than per user. CloseFlow is priced per organization, with unlimited users and every app included: $99/month for 1 organization, $199/month for 3, $299/month for 10, and $499/month for 25. Above 25 organizations, talk to us about firm pricing. 30-day free trial, no credit card required. Every plan includes Close Tasks, General Tasks, Reconciliations, Approvals, Onboarding, Leases, Fixed Assets, and Prepaids.
Can I import my existing Easy Month End checklist?
Yes. CloseFlow's Close Tasks app supports recurring checklists with owners, due dates, and review sign-offs. Tasks can be recreated in CloseFlow, and our team will help recreate your checklist and reconciliations during the 30-day free trial.
Will my auditors still be able to access supporting documentation?
Yes. Reconciliations, journal entries, and approvals keep the preparer or reviewer, the timestamp, and the attachments on the record. You can grant auditors read-only access so they can pull the evidence they need without bothering your team.
