Sample deliverables

What lands on your desk.

These are the artifacts BeanStack produces each month — the same board packs, certificates, and close workpapers a finance department would hand you. Each is built from your live books, and every figure traces back to its source entries.

Below: one full illustrative template, then the structure of every deliverable. Templates use a fictional company and fictional amounts — they are not customer results. Run a shadow close to see the same structure populated from your own books.

2 · Held for review — not posted automatically

Equipment purchase — $31,500Capitalize vs. expense turns on installation scope; the vendor quote covers both.Needs: The signed statement of work, to split the capitalizable portion.
Legal invoice — $12,800Fees may relate to the pending acquisition (capitalizable) or general counsel (expense).Needs: A matter-level breakdown from the firm.

3 · The trail behind each entry

Vendor invoice #4471 (PDF) → policy “Prepaid software > $2,500 amortized over term” → posted 1450 · Prepaid expenses → reviewed by named controller → no subsequent changes.

4 · Cutover criteria — agreed before the run

The pass/fail bar is set with you before the shadow month starts: which difference causes are acceptable, what must reconcile to the dollar, and who signs off. You judge the packet against criteria you agreed to — not a moving target.
