My month end was a

day which included six companies at my last company. I was quick, and it was a simple structure in the service industry, so nothing complex. I would start my processes a couple of days before. Current company, anywhere from 7 to 15 days. More often, 15. Super complex and a lot of moving parts. Occasionally, we haven't finished the last review before the next month end rolls around.The difference does baffle me. There are a lot of parts that can't be started until the person before has finished their part. Month-end seems like an afterthought. I prepare all my papers a day or two beforehand so that I'm ready to rock and help everyone else where I'm able. It does drive me a little bonkers that it takes so long!
