The finance team's month
Each month the books are closed, then the results are planned and reported, then the tax is paid.
Box 1 checks that the books agree so the month can be closed, box 2 plans and reports from the closed numbers, and box 3 files the tax due on them. Tap a title in the diagram to jump to its companies.
