A monthly close in 30 minutes

Why speed drops as teams grow

A small-business close does not need to take a day. With a steady setup it takes about thirty minutes, and you always know where you stand. Pick a fixed time, the first working day after month end, and put it on the calendar.

Give every workflow one source of truth

Bring the month in first. Confirm every bank and card synced through the last day, import anything that is not connected, and forward receipts that are still in your inbox. Then look, instead of hunting.

Use agents for preparation, people for decisions

Categorize what is still uncategorized, match receipts to the transactions they belong to, and send invoices for work you already did. Mintas marks an invoice paid when the deposit reaches your bank.

Keep the structure visible

Export the month when you are done: transactions, attachments and invoice PDFs. That archive is what you hand an accountant. Mintas does not file taxes and does not give tax advice.
