Trigger month-end accrual report for accounting team on 5th

How this automation schedules month-end accrual reporting
When a month-end close depends on consistent accrual timing, delays can disrupt reporting cadence. This automation schedules a run on the 5th, formats the run date, and calls the accounting report sub-workflow—so your finance team gets close-ready context.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
