**Verse 1** Month end coming, the ledger's not yet clean Reconciliation's messy, nobody's seen What it takes to close it tight and close it right I'm the one still at the desk, late into the night **Pre-Chorus** Not the flashiest seat in the room But somebody's gotta build it, somebody soon **Chorus** I close the books and I build what's next Journal entries, accruals, every line correct First-year audit, IPO on the way I set up the process so it holds up any day Big 4 rigor, startup speed, I carry both at once GAAP in one hand, AI in the other — I'm no dunce **Verse 2** Document it once, then automate it twice Flexible when I need to, rigorous when the stakes are high Auditors come knocking, workpapers ready and clean I'm the quiet structure underneath the whole machine **Pre-Chorus** Not the flashiest seat in the room But somebody's gotta build it, somebody soon **Chorus** I close the books and I build what's next Journal entries, accruals, every line correct First-year audit, IPO on the way I set up the process so it holds up any day Big 4 rigor, startup speed, I carry both at once GAAP in one hand, AI in the other — I'm no dunce **Bridge** One of the first ones in this seat Setting the standard, building it complete Every number tells a truth Every close gets us closer to the proof **Outro** Close the books, build the future, line by line Nobody sees it, but it's all working fine Somewhere a company grows because the numbers hold That's the job — not flashy, but it's gold
