end of year

When calendars expire

End of year refers to the final weeks or days of a calendar or fiscal year, typically a period of review, accounting, and celebration.

In business contexts, it triggers deadlines for financial reporting, tax planning, and budget reconciliation: We need to finalize the end-of-year numbers.

In schools, it may align with the academic calendar rather than December: end-of-year exams.

The phrase often modifies nouns: end-of-year bonus, end-of-year party, end-of-year sale.
