Month-end paperwork routine for small agencies

Block 45 minutes on the last Friday (or first Monday). Same checklist every month.

The routine

  • Scan e-sign inbox — download anything completed
  • Rename and file into each client’s 03-signed
  • Move finished projects’ loose files into the right subfolders
  • Update the pending-signature board; nudge or close stale cards
  • Export or save invoices into 04-admin
  • Archive clients with no activity in 12 months into _Archive
  • Note next month’s renewals / retainers on the calendar

Why it works

You’re not “getting organized someday.” You’re closing the month like you close the books — light, repeatable, boring in the best way.
