Close checklist & task management Every close task arrives with the work already prepared

Every close task arrives with the work already prepared, and the emails, files and messages behind it linked.

How Spaces helps

Your close checklist tracks who owns what and when it is due. Agents prepare the entries, reconciliations and commentary behind each task, with cited evidence.

Still manual today Checklists track completion. The supporting work and context usually live in spreadsheets, inboxes and chat.

Example Business day 2 of the October close: 3 tasks done, 2 drafted and waiting for review, 2 in progress and 1 waiting on intercompany.

Tasks arrive prepared

Owners review drafted work instead of assembling it from scratch.

Support in one place

Each task links to the emails, files and messages behind it.

Your record stays authoritative

Close status, owners and sign-offs stay where you record them today.

Can an agent mark a task complete on its own?
No. Agents prepare and cite. A named owner reviews, a checker approves, and nothing completes without that approval.
Which sources can the agent draw from?
Your ERP, Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Notion and Jira, limited to what your permissions allow.
