Momentum Lab Sprint

Month End Starts with Production

The sprint that shifts month-end from reactive scramble to proactive habit.

Why This Sprint Matters

For many companies, End of Month is treated like a financial ritual. The numbers go in, reports come out, and Production's role is limited to answering questions or correcting mistakes. But here's the truth: if Production isn't involved, you're not closing the month accurately or efficiently.

This sprint reframes EOM as a proactive, weekly rhythm owned jointly by Operations and Finance. You'll learn simple, repeatable habits that make EOM smoother, faster, and far more accurate, without the scramble, clean-up, or finger-pointing. When Production understands what the business needs and can contribute consistently, everyone wins.

Who This Sprint Is For

This sprint is designed for leaders who are responsible for Production outcomes and want clarity about what the Aspire data means.

It's a great fit if you:

Your Role

  • Are an Operations Supervisor, Branch Manager heavily involved in Production, or Director of Operations
  • Are responsible for field productivity, work ticket accuracy, or crew performance
  • Want Operations to communicate better with Finance and Executive Leadership

Your Current State

  • Aren't doing Aspire EOM yet, or rely on Finance to do it for you
  • Feel out of the loop on end-of-month expectations
  • Are unsure what Production should clean up and when

Your Capacity & Motivation

  • Can commit ~2 hours/week to participating in the sprint
  • Have a strong incentive to improve accuracy and accountability
  • Are ready to build habits that actually stick

What You'll Get

By the end of the sprint, you'll have:

And the real payoff is simple: fewer surprises, clearer expectations, and a month-end that doesn't feel like a fire drill.

Week-by-Week Breakdown

Week 1 — Build the Foundation

Understand the business purpose of EOM and Production's role in supporting it. You'll build daily and weekly checklists, start tracking key inputs, and get a bonus 2026 Clean Start guide.

Week 2 — Discover & Diagnose

Learn to spot inaccurate data, trace root causes, and take ownership of what you can control. You'll practice reviewing last week's inputs, clean up issues, and learn how to explain the "why" to field staff.

Week 3 — Take Action

Apply a full Weekly Review rhythm and use your 1:1 call to solve a real roadblock or tailor the process to your operation.

Week 4 — Sustain the Process

Document your SOPs, commit to the Weekly Review by blocking out time on your calendar, and coordinate with Finance to build a shared EOM gameplan for the next close.

Personalized Support & Accountability

You'll learn in a cohort, but you won't be on your own.

You'll get clarity when you need it and accountability when it matters.

Why It Works

Most EOM holdups aren't caused by complex software. They're caused by habits and handoffs.

This sprint works because it focuses on three shifts:

Weekly, Not Monthly

You'll turn month-end into a simple weekly routine to verify and approve data while it's still fresh and before running payroll greys out the data.

Proactive Ownership

Instead of reacting to issues, we intentionally review your data so it's correct from the start.

Production-Friendly Language

We translate financial expectations into practical actions. No accounting jargon. You don't need to be a numbers person to play a meaningful role in EOM, just clear direction on what to do and when to do it.

When the field and office operate from the same playbook, everything gets easier.
