Every Proof Standard engagement produces a Monthly Proof Package: your financial statements plus the reconciliations, workpapers, journal-entry register, and source-document trails behind them. The sample below is a redacted example — the client, entity, and figures are illustrative only.

Cover & contents

Every package opens with a named signature line.

Why this matters: Named point-of-contact, named reviewer, delivery date, SLA target, and an inventory of every artifact inside. You always know who touched the numbers and what's included.

Artifact 1 · Financial statements

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — with comparison columns.

Why this matters: Statements come with prior-month and prior-year comparison. You see what changed and by how much — not just this month's total. Every line is one you can act on.

Artifact 1 · Balance sheet

Balance sheet with prior-month change.

Why this matters: Assets, liabilities, and equity month over month, with the change column. Cash, AR, inventory, AP, and loan balances are always in one place — ready when a lender or investor asks.

Artifact 2 · Reconciliation workpapers

Bank, credit card, and sub-ledger reconciliations.

Why this matters: Every operating account, credit card, and sub-ledger ties out to statements and source records before the books are called complete. When the auditor or lender asks, the reconciliations are already in the package.

Artifact 3 · Journal-entry register

Every adjusting entry with a memo and reference.

Why this matters: Every adjusting entry has a reference number and a memo. You (or a third party) can trace any material adjustment from the statement line back to why it was made — without rebuilding the month.

Artifact 4 · Source-document trail

Material lines mapped to the underlying documents.

Why this matters: Material P&L and balance-sheet lines link to the underlying source records — invoices, receipts, statements, contracts. This is the trail an investor, tax preparer, auditor, or lender needs to see, assembled month by month.

Artifact 5 · Reviewer page

Reviewed before delivery by a U.S.-based CPA or equivalent.

Why this matters: Reviewed before delivery by a U.S.-based CPA or equivalent. Their name is on the record. When someone asks who stands behind the numbers, the answer is on the page.

Artifact 6 · Monthly meeting summary Proof Plus

Notes, decisions, and next steps from your monthly review.

Why this matters: On Proof Plus, your reviewer walks you through the numbers on a monthly call. The summary captures decisions and open items so nothing gets lost between months.

Artifact 7 · Mid-month flags Proof Plus

Transactions flagged for clarification, in real time.

Why this matters: On Proof Plus, we log transactions that need your input as we see them — not at month-end. The log is locked at close and delivered with the package.

Artifact 8 · Delivery bundle manifest

Every file in the delivery folder, catalogued.

Why this matters: The manifest lists every file included with the package. Nothing is implied — every artifact you're entitled to is on the list, and easy to find in the shared folder.
