Year-end prep

Year-end accounts prep: clear a year's paperwork backlog overnight.

Every Cyprus company files audited accounts — and some clients deliver the records in January, as a box. Pileform turns a year of receipts, invoices, and statements into reviewable, per-supplier workbooks before the planning meeting, not after it.

The backlog problem

The shoebox client is a structural fact of practice life: records arrive late, all at once, and out of order. A junior burns weeks keying a year of documents before the real accounting work can start — and the quality of that keying, done under boredom and deadline, is exactly where errors enter the file.

Pileform processes the year as a batch — 500 to 1,000 pages finish overnight — and returns workbooks where the review is twenty minutes of flagged rows, not weeks of typing.

How it works

The year in, the working papers out.

Scan the box into PDFs and drop them — receipts, supplier invoices, and bank statements together, in any order. Extraction sorts the documents, reads them per line, and returns one workbook per supplier covering the year.

Overnight for the big batches.

A typical 200-page batch takes about 12 minutes; the year-end bundles — 500 to 1,000 pages — finish overnight. Drop the box in the evening, review the workbooks in the morning.

The whole box, one drop.

Receipts, invoices, statements, photographed pages, and duplicates all go in together. Extraction detects each document, files it under its supplier, and flags what it could not read with confidence.

A year that cross-checks its quarters.

Year-end processing shows the whole picture at once: input VAT by quarter, suppliers that appear in the bank but not the purchase schedules, and gaps worth chasing before the accounts close — while there is still time to ask the client.

Bank reconciliation in the same pass.

The year's statements process alongside the documents, with transactions matched against the extracted records. Missing-document gaps surface as flags, not as audit queries six months later.

An audit-ready file by default.

Every row carries its source document embedded, adjustments are explicit, and inferences are flagged. The auditor's sample requests are answered from the workbook — one click per item.

Honest answers

Year-end prep questions, answered.

There is no hard upper limit. A typical 200-page batch processes in about 12 minutes; the classic year-end bundle of 500 to 1,000 pages finishes overnight, with an email when the workbooks are ready. Bigger years can be split into a few drops — by quarter is the natural cut.

Yes — that is the intended input. Scan the box as it comes: receipts, supplier invoices, bank statements, photographed pages, in any order. Extraction detects where each document starts, reads it per line, and files it under its supplier.

Yes. Drop the year as four quarterly batches and each quarter's workbooks reconcile independently — useful for checking filed VAT returns against what the documents actually support, and for isolating which quarter a discrepancy lives in before correcting it.

The same way as a quarter, scaled: rows come back high-confidence or yellow-flagged, and review time goes to the flags. A year's review is a sitting, not a season — and it happens before the accounts work starts, so the accountant builds on checked figures.

The workbooks themselves make a strong working-papers file: per-supplier schedules with VAT per line, the source document embedded next to every row, explicit adjustment cells, and flags showing what was reviewed. Sample requests are answered from the file rather than from a document archive.
