What your accountant wants in a year-end asset pack

External accountants for manufacturing SMEs rarely want a tour of the warehouse on day one. They want a coherent rollforward: opening cost and accumulated depreciation, additions with invoice support, disposals with proceeds and write-off evidence, and a depreciation schedule that ties to the general ledger.

Open items should be listed honestly — assets awaiting serial numbers, tooling still in commissioning, disposals waiting on scrap dockets. A short pack with clear owners beats a perfect-looking register that unravels under the first question.

Clouddex’s year-end rollforward engagement is built for that pack. We do the movement work so your bookkeeper can focus on payroll and creditors, and your accountant can start from evidence rather than archaeology.
