Monthly routine that initiates the closing process: generates a checklist, simplified income statement, pending items, and action items for the finance team.

Always respond in English.

IMPORTANT: This routine runs on the 1st of each month and refers to the PREVIOUS month's close.

Step 1 — Determine period

  • Reference month: the month prior to the current one (e.g., if today is April 1st, close March)
  • Period: first to last day of the reference month

Step 2 — Collect month's data (silently)

2a. Revenue (Stripe)

Use /int-stripe:

  • Total succeeded charges for the month
  • MRR at end of month vs start
  • Subscriptions: new, canceled, upgrades, downgrades
  • Month's refunds

2b. Revenue and expenses (Omie)

Use /int-omie:

  • Total revenue received during the month
  • Total expenses paid during the month
  • Categorize by type (Personnel, Infrastructure, Services, Marketing, Taxes, etc.)
  • Invoices issued during the month
  • Invoices that should have been issued but were not

2c. Revenue (Evo Academy)

Call GET /api/v1/analytics/summary?period=30d (env: $EVO_ACADEMY_BASE_URL, auth: Bearer $EVO_ACADEMY_API_KEY):

  • revenue.total → receita bruta do mês
  • orders.completed / pending / refunded → contagem por status
  • subscriptions.active / cancelled → base e churn do mês

Fetch todos os orders do mês: GET /api/v1/analytics/orders?status=completed&created_after=YYYY-MM-01&created_before=YYYY-MM-31&per_page=100

  • Itere por cursor até has_more=false
  • Some amount → receita total do mês
  • Separe por produto: Evo Academy (R$950/mês), Evolution Builder (R$970/mês), Curso Agentic Engineer (R$2k/mês), Beta Access (R$370/mês), one-time (Blueprint Pack, Fast Start Pro), Evo Setup (R$5/mês)
  • Identifique renovações (is_renewal=true) vs novos clientes

Fetch assinaturas ativas no fim do mês: GET /api/v1/analytics/subscriptions?status=active&per_page=100

  • MRR Evo Academy = soma de plan.price das ativas

2d. Outstanding receivables

  • List all open receivables (from the month or earlier)
  • Highlight overdue items

2e. Next month's payables

  • List payables due in the current month (the upcoming month)

2f. Previous month (for comparison)

  • Read the previous month's financial report from workspace/finance/reports/monthly/ if it exists
  • Or use data from the last monthly close

Step 3 — Build simplified income statement

Structure the income statement with:

AccountActualPrior MonthVariance
Gross Revenue (Stripe)
Gross Revenue (Evo Academy)
Gross Revenue (Omie/Services)
(-) Taxes
Net Revenue
(-) Personnel
(-) Infrastructure
(-) Third-party Services
(-) Marketing
(-) Other
Total Expenses
Operating Result
Margin

Step 4 — Build closing checklist

Generate a checklist with initial status for each item:

  1. Reconcile Stripe — verify all charges match received payments
  2. Reconcile Evo Academy — verify orders and subscriptions match expected MRR
  3. Reconcile Omie — verify entries and exits in the ERP are correct
  4. Issue pending invoices — list invoices that need to be issued (finance team)
  5. Collect overdue accounts — list clients with late payments
  6. Categorize expenses — verify all expenses are categorized
  7. Review entries — verify manual or atypical entries
  8. Calculate taxes — verify month's tax obligations
  9. Generate final income statement — after reconciliations, generate the definitive P&L
  10. Approve close — the responsible person reviews and approves

Possible statuses:

  • done (checkmark) — already completed automatically
  • pending (circle) — needs to be done
  • blocked (x) — depends on something external
  • na (dash) — not applicable this month

Step 5 — Identify pending items for the finance team

List in clear bullets what the finance team needs to handle:

  • Invoices to issue (which clients, amounts)
  • Payments to confirm
  • Missing documents
  • Deadlines

Step 6 — Closing observations

Relevant notes:

  • Atypical (non-recurring) expenses
  • Client plan changes
  • Any anomalies identified
  • Impact of monthly events (e.g., corporate event, new partnership)

Step 7 — Classify close status

Badge:

  • green "On track": most items ok, no blockers
  • yellow "In progress": pending items but no risk
  • red "Delayed": blockers or critical pending items

Step 8 — Generate HTML

Read the template at .claude/templates/html/custom/monthly-close.html and replace ALL {{PLACEHOLDER}}.

For checklist:

<div class="checklist-item">
  <div class="check-icon done/pending/blocked/na">checkmark/circle/x/dash</div>
  <div class="checklist-text">
    <div class="cl-title">Item name</div>
    <div class="cl-detail">Detail or observation</div>
  </div>
  <div class="checklist-owner">Finance / Admin / Auto</div>
</div>

For income statement:

<tr>
  <td>Account name</td>
  <td class="right">R$ X,XXX.XX</td>
  <td class="right">R$ X,XXX.XX</td>
  <td class="right var-positive/var-negative">+X% / -X%</td>
</tr>

Total rows use class="total":

<tr class="total">
  <td>Operating Result</td>
  <td class="right">R$ X,XXX.XX</td>
  <td class="right">R$ X,XXX.XX</td>
  <td class="right var-positive">+X%</td>
</tr>

Values in Brazilian format: R$ 1.234,56

Step 9 — Save

Save to:

workspace/finance/reports/monthly/[C] YYYY-MM-monthly-close.html

Create the directory workspace/finance/reports/monthly/ if it does not exist.

Step 10 — Confirm

## Monthly Close Kickoff generated

**File:** workspace/finance/reports/monthly/[C] YYYY-MM-monthly-close.html
**Month:** {reference month}
**Revenue:** R$ X,XXX | **Expenses:** R$ X,XXX | **Result:** R$ X,XXX
