Year-End Closing & Financial Period Management is a custom Business Central extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports on your environment. It replaces the spreadsheet-and-email close ritual with a structured, auditable workflow living directly inside Business Central.

The extension is delivered as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource listing) so it can be shaped to your chart of accounts, dimensions, accounting periods, and approval culture. We deploy it to your Business Central Online (SaaS) or on-premises tenant, configure it against your real data, and hand over documentation and training.

At its core is a close checklist with task ownership, due offsets relative to your period-end, and sign-off — implemented with custom AL tables and pages, surfaced on Role Center cues. Recurring and accrual journals are scheduled through the Job Queue so reversing accruals and standard recurring entries post on cadence without manual intervention. A reconciliation tracker lets controllers attest G/L control accounts (bank, AR, AP, inventory, intercompany) against subledgers and mark variances resolved.

Period lock and reopen controls wrap Business Central's native allow-posting dates with role-aware enforcement via event subscribers on posting routines, plus a logged reopen path with reason capture for audit. A close status dashboard shows percent-complete, blocked tasks, and owner workload.

We use table/page extensions and event subscribers (not core modification), publish dedicated permission sets, and can expose close status over the OData/REST API or surface it in Power BI / Power Platform for dashboards and Teams notifications. Optional Dataverse sync is available where you run Power Platform alongside BC. Everything is honest, scoped, and supported — no black box.
