Year-end file your CPA will not bill you for
Lesson 6 of 6 · Keep what you made
1 · Learn the move · Agents + multi-step
The CPA bill for a land business is mostly the hours spent reconstructing the year: matching closing statements to bank deposits, working out which note payment was interest, chasing a missing statement. You can do that reconstruction yourself with the model as a staged assistant, as long as each stage stops for you to check before the next one builds on it. Stage one takes inventory of what you pasted. Stage two builds one ledger per parcel with every cell citing a closing statement line. Stage three reconciles that ledger to the bank export and lists every mismatch without resolving it. Stage four writes the open-items list and a cover note. The checkpoints are the point: an error in stage two that nobody catches becomes a confident total in stage four. The model never categorises anything as deductible, never splits a note payment into interest and principal unless your ledger already does, and never fills a missing figure to make a total work.
Run my year-end file in four stages and STOP after each for my OK: (1) inventory the documents I pasted, (2) one ledger per parcel citing closing statement lines, (3) reconcile to my bank export and list mismatches without resolving them, (4) open-items list and a cover note to my CPA. No tax categories, no invented figures, no forced totals. [documents]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
It is January. You bought and sold six parcels in Orrin County last year and carry two notes. You have eleven closing statements, a bank export, two note ledgers and a folder of county tax receipts. Last year your CPA billed eight hours to sort this out. Write the prompt that builds the file in checked stages.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
