Depending how date-critical 'end of every month' is
to you, you may also consider adding your script in
/etc/periodic/monthly/

Type:
man 5 crontab
[...]
# run at 2:15pm on the first of every month -- output mailed to paul
15 14 1 * * $HOME/bin/monthly
[...]
When you are ready to rock, type:
crontab -e
Good Luck.

Your question is a little unclear.  Do you mean how do I run a job at 
the end of a month when the months are not the same length so I can't 
use a fixed day-of-the-month value?

If that's the question, then you might consider running it just after 
midnight on the first of the next month.
