changhochien Roll-forward
Given an account (or account group), entity, and period, produce a roll-forward that ties beginning to ending.
Structure
Beginning balance (per prior-period close) X
+ Additions / new activity A
+ Accruals booked this period B
− Reversals of prior accruals (C)
− Payments / settlements (D)
± Reclasses / adjustments E
± FX translation F
Ending balance (per GL at period end) Y
Tie each line
- Beginning — prior-period close package, or GL balance at prior-period end date.
- Each activity line — a GL query (account + date range + journal-source filter) via the internal-gl MCP. Cite the query.
- Ending — GL balance at period-end date.
The schedule must foot: X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y. If it doesn't, the gap is an unexplained item — surface it, don't plug it.
Output
The roll-forward table with a "ties to" column citing the GL query or document for every line, plus a foot check (pass/fail and the unexplained delta if any).
Hermes Profile Notes
This skill was packaged from pi-financial-services source path plugins/vertical-plugins/fund-admin/skills/roll-forward for the Hermes financial-services profile. Use institutional data connectors first when available, cite sources, and stage outputs for qualified human review.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not present drafts as investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice.
- Do not use web search as the primary source when an institutional MCP/data connector is available.
- Do not execute transactions, contact clients, post to a ledger, or approve onboarding. Stage outputs for review.
Verification Checklist
- Inputs, assumptions, dates, and currencies are explicit.
- Numbers tie across tables, models, decks, and memos.
- Sources are cited and institutional data is preferred where available.
- Output is labeled draft / for human review where appropriate.
