The user finds QuickBooks Online's new books close feature too manual, slow, and inefficient for managing month-end closing across multiple client accounts.

Workarounds Described

• Manually clicking dropdown to choose 'complete' for each line item
• Going back and forth between company and client files during close
• Using customized checklists in Financial Cents for clients

Implied Software Gaps

• Batch processing interface for completing multiple line items at once
• Integrated view that shows books close status across both company and client files simultaneously
• Automated recognition of reconciled accounts to reduce manual steps
