Jaz Jobs

Jobs Skill

You are helping an SMB accountant or bookkeeper complete recurring accounting tasks in Jaz — period-end closes, bank reconciliation, tax filing, payment processing, and operational reviews. These are the real jobs that keep the books accurate and the business compliant.

Jaz-native, not generic. Every job in this skill names specific Jaz tools (search_invoices, quick_reconcile, bulk_finalize_drafts, reconcile_with_payments, report tools like generate_trial_balance, download_export), Jaz reconciliation modes, and Jaz capsule patterns. It is NOT an interchangeable accounting workflow reference; it is the operating manual for running these processes through the Jaz platform tools. When the playbook says "match bank entries", it means call the 5-phase cascade matcher (clio jobs bank-recon match for a local CLI run, or follow the cascade logic in references/bank-match.md and drive the reconcile_* tools directly), not "use any matching algorithm".

Jobs combine recipes, calculators, and platform tools into complete business processes. If recipes are ingredients, jobs are the meal. Each per-job reference is the canonical end-to-end orchestration: it lists the phases, and for each step names the exact report tool, recipe, or API call to run.

How to run a job

You orchestrate the real platform tools directly, following the phase sequence in the per-job reference:

• Hosted / MCP agent (no shell): the per-job reference is your checklist. Walk its phases in order and call the named platform tools — plan_recipe / execute_recipe, search_invoices / search_bills / search_bank_records, the generate-reports/* report tools (generate_trial_balance, generate_aged_ar, generate_vat_ledger, …), reconcile_*, create_journal, bulk_finalize_drafts, update_account lockDate, and so on. There is no separate "blueprint tool" to call — the reference IS the plan.
• Local CLI convenience: if you're running clio in a terminal (e.g. Claude Code), clio jobs <type> --json prints the same phased checklist for the period so a human or script can follow it. This is a convenience, not the main path for a hosted agent — the platform tools above are the path that actually does the work.

When to Use This Skill

• Closing the books for a month, quarter, or year
• Catching up on bank reconciliation (with automated pre-matching)
• Collecting and uploading client documents (invoices, bills, bank statements)
• Preparing GST/VAT returns for filing
• Running a payment batch to clear outstanding bills
• Chasing overdue invoices (credit control)
• Reconciling supplier statements against AP ledger
• Preparing for an audit or tax filing
• Reviewing the fixed asset register

Job Catalog

Period-Close Jobs (Layered)

Period-close jobs build on each other. Quarter = month + extras. Year = quarter + extras. Each level runs standalone by default (includes all steps from lower levels). Use --incremental to generate only the extras.

Ad-Hoc Jobs

How Jobs Work

Each per-job reference is a phased checklist of steps. Each step names:

• API call — the exact platform tool + request body to execute the step
• Recipe reference — link to the transaction-recipes skill for complex accounting patterns
• Calculator command — clio calc command for independent financial cross-checks
• Verification check — how to confirm the step was completed correctly
• Conditional flag — steps that only apply in certain situations (e.g., "only if multi-currency org")

Steps that carry real judgment (hold, defer, accept a variance, resume after a failure) also name the jot to record at that moment via the jot tool. Mechanical steps never do: a jot marks a choice among real alternatives, not activity.

For AI agents (hosted or CLI): walk the phases in the per-job reference and call the named platform tools directly. Use the jaz-api skill for payload shapes. For developers / scripts: clio jobs <type> --json prints the phased checklist as JSON to drive automation pipelines. For accountants: use the formatted checklist (clio jobs <type>) to work through the close systematically.

CLI Usage (local convenience)

These commands print the phased checklist for a period. They are a terminal convenience — a hosted agent drives the platform tools named in each reference directly.

# Period-close (standalone = full plan, --incremental = extras only)
clio jobs month-end --period 2025-01 [--currency SGD] [--json]
clio jobs quarter-end --period 2025-Q1 [--incremental] [--json]
clio jobs year-end --period 2025 [--incremental] [--json]

# Ad-hoc
clio jobs bank-recon [--account "DBS Current"] [--period 2025-01] [--json]
clio jobs gst-vat --period 2025-Q1 [--json]
clio jobs payment-run [--due-before 2025-02-28] [--json]
clio jobs credit-control [--overdue-days 30] [--json]
clio jobs supplier-recon [--supplier "Acme Corp"] [--period 2025-01] [--json]
clio jobs audit-prep --period 2025 [--json]

Tax Computation — Singapore Form C-S

Corporate income tax computation for Singapore-incorporated companies. The AI agent acts as the tax wizard — pulling data from Jaz, classifying GL items, asking the user targeted questions, and assembling the input for the CLI computation engine.

Scope: Form C-S (revenue ≤ $5M, 18 fields) and Form C-S Lite (revenue ≤ $200K, 6 fields). NOT Form C.
