Im new to industry so i have a question abt month end close. Is it the norm that an AP manager is on vacation on Day 3 of a 3 day month end close? I thought that month end close is a busy/critical time for the whole accounting team?

At my company, AP closes on the last day of the month, so they are busier the last week of the month vs the rest of the accounting department is busier first week of the month.

Depends on your close cycle. AP should be one of the first teams to close. In a perfect world they should done day 1. Unless you’re having some problems with AP I don’t see why it would be a problem for them to be off on day 3.

Not normal, but people have lives and our lives should not be scheduled around work. This person should have completed or delegated in detail the work before going on vacay.

AP definitely closes latest by day 1 so taking time off on day 3 is ok.. but communication with GL accountants on status is key during closing to avoid any delays. At my company, the entire team's time off is on shared calendar well in advance so there are no surprises on key days like close time.

Everyone should have a back up. My manager rarely takes days off during the close, but when she does, her back up is on top of things.
