@ Asker Well, 'a month end' is a noun, akin perhaps to 'clôture', and so there is no reason why you can't count them too — even though of course it is the months that are plural. It might be easier to understand had it been hyphenated, as it traditionally would have been in EN-GB: 'month-end'.

and when in the plural ? i.e. "3 month ends prior"

Tony M Feb 2, 2016:

@ Asker A 'month/quarter/year end' refers to the closure of accounts at the end of each month etc. I have a feeling this term has come up before, so it might be worth doing a term search for it in the glossary.
'prior' here just means 'previous' — i.e. the month end for the previous month, the month before that, etc.

Là, il faut un peu de contexte
