The close shouldn't be a fire drill.
It's the eighth working day and intercompany still hasn't tied. Half the logic lives in one person's spreadsheets. We put AI on the reconciliations and exceptions slowing your close β deterministic, audit-defensible, and live before your next period-end.
What it's costing you
Every period, the same scramble β and the risk sits with your signature.
- Intercompany that won't net until the eighth working day, so you can't promise the board the number won't move.
- Reconciliations rebuilt by hand in Excel because the ERP doesn't do the last-mile tie-out.
- Close logic living in one person's head β one resignation from chaos.
- Top-side adjustments you can't fully explain when the auditor asks.
What we put AI on
Intercompany matching
Rules-based matching across entities that nets and flags only the true exceptions for a human.
Bank & sub-ledger recs
Tie-outs matched to source automatically; the unmatched items routed for review.
Exception handling
Your team works the exceptions, not the 95% that already agree.
A close you can sign
Every figure traces back to source β document, rule, timestamp, approver.
How we fix it
One order, every time β and never reckless with the close.
1 Β· Start with the Map
A short, paid audit. We find the 20% of manual work causing 80% of the pain and hand you a roadmap you keep β whether or not you continue with us.
2 Β· Ship the quick win
We build the lowest-risk automation first, run it in parallel with what you do today, and go live before your next close.
3 Β· Hand it back, then govern
Your team runs the day-to-day. We stay on as fractional architects so model and system updates never break the logic.
Why you can trust it
We don't touch the close on day one. We map it, prove the lowest-risk automation first, and run it in parallel with what you do today β nothing goes live until it matches your own numbers. Deterministic, rules-based, and traceable to the source document β DORA Article 30-ready by contract. We automate the point of highest risk last, not first.
Questions finance leaders ask
Isn't it too risky to automate the close?
We automate the highest-risk step last. Lowest-risk first, run in parallel, nothing live until it ties to your own numbers.
Can I defend the result to an auditor?
Yes β every match shows source document, rule, timestamp, and approver. Start at the journal entry and click back to source.
We're mid-migration to SAP β should we wait?
No. We work the layer above the ERP β reconciliations, exceptions, the copy-paste between systems β without competing with the migration.
See where your close actually breaks.
Start with the Map β a short, paid audit that finds the reconciliations costing you the most, and the one we'd automate first.
