Non-closing tasks are any task that is not associated with a close. These are perfect for one-off tasks or for recurring client work that's not related to your month-end close.

For example, you can use non-closing tasks to create a Run Payroll task that runs biweekly, or a File 1099s task scheduled for every year in January.



Recurring Tasks

You can make non-closing tasks recur on a schedule. Keeper supports the following recurring schedules:

  • Daily (Weekdays)
  • Weekly (including biweekly, every 3 weeks, etc.)
  • Monthly (including bimonthly, every 3 months, etc.)
  • Quarterly
  • Annually

Some example schedules you can create:

Task

Schedule

Payroll

every two weeks on Tuesday

Sales Tax Filing

every quarter on the 15th day of the 1st month

Bill Pay

every month on the 10th day, and every month on the 25th day



Creating Non-Closing Tasks

You can create a non-closing task by going into any client and clicking Add New in the Non-Closing Tasks section of the page.

From here, you can give it a name, description, subtasks, assignees, and a due date or recurring schedule.
