Month-end close stuck in spreadsheets

Closing the books drags for a week — data exported by hand, mismatches chased across spreadsheets and email approvals.

What it costs to leave it

Who feels it: Finance and FP&A teams at growing and mid-market companies.

A slow close means the numbers you run the business on are always weeks stale, and skilled finance people spend their time reconciling instead of analysing.

50% of finance teams take 6+ business days to close the books each month. CFO.com

How we fix it

We automate the reconciliation and reporting that clogs the close — pulling from source systems, matching records on a schedule, and assembling the recurring reports — so the close runs faster and on data everyone trusts.

Common questions

We already have an ERP. Why is close still manual?
An ERP holds the ledger, but the reconciliation between it and every other system — billing, CRM, payment processor — often still happens in spreadsheets. That's the manual layer we automate.
Can you work with our existing finance stack?
Yes. We integrate with the systems you already close on rather than replacing them, automating the matching and reporting steps that currently run by hand.
