Closing the Books: How State Governments Can Prepare for Year-End on June 30th

Secure Year-End Support Today

As June 30th approaches, state government finance teams face one of the busiest and most important times of the fiscal year: closing the books. This period requires careful attention to deadlines, compliance requirements, and documentation, all while maintaining day-to-day operations. With the right planning and support, agencies can manage this process more efficiently and with fewer disruptions.

Year-End Pressures in the Public Sector

Year-end closing brings a range of responsibilities that must be completed accurately and on time:

• Finalizing expenditures and revenues

• Reconciliation of accounts

• Preparing audit-ready documentation

• Managing grants and budget adjustments

• Aligning with GASB standards and state reporting requirements

For many finance teams, these tasks must be accomplished with limited internal capacity, especially as workloads increase and fiscal deadlines become more demanding.

Flexible Support for Finance Teams

One way agencies are addressing these challenges is by bringing in outside support. Whether it's temporary professionals to help with reconciliations or experienced consultants familiar with government accounting standards, having access to additional resources can make a measurable difference.

At BGSF, we work with public sector organizations to provide accounting and finance professionals who can assist during high-demand periods. Our team understands the rhythms of government work, including the fiscal year-end rush, and we match agencies with talent that can step in quickly and effectively.
