One agent for each part of the close.

Each agent has one job and a clear method. Switch on the ones you need; we tune each one to your accounts, thresholds and rules.

01

Revenue controlling

Revenue against budget and last period, cut-off, unbilled and deferred revenue.

02

Cost controlling

Operating costs by account and cost centre, accrual gaps and unusual postings.

03

Accruals

Accrued costs and income, missing accruals and cut-off.

04

Prepayments

Prepaid schedules, monthly releases and invoices expensed too early.

05

Balance sheet controlling

Account reconciliations, subledger against ledger, unexplained balances and ageing.

06

Bank and cash

Bank statements against the ledger, reconciling items and unbooked transactions.

07

Payroll reconciliation

Payroll ledger against the payroll report, holiday pay, pension and tax liabilities.

08

Fixed assets

Register against ledger, depreciation, additions and disposals.

09

Intercompany

Balances and transactions matched with each group company.

10

VAT reconciliation

VAT accounts against the return, reverse charge, non-deductible VAT and settlement.

11

Close review

Checks every agent’s output before the period closes, and says what’s still open.

12

Ask

Ask a question about the numbers in plain words and get an answer with the evidence.

Finished work, not a chat transcript.

Each agent ends its run with the same three things, then waits for a person or posts within your limits, as you’ve set it.

01

A workpaper

An Excel workpaper with the reconciliation, the source figures and every check, ready for your files and your auditors.

02

Commentary

A short summary of what it found, the key figures and the open items, written as actions, with charts where they help.

03

Proposed entries

Balanced journal entries with the P&L and balance sheet impact shown. Approved entries export as an import file for your ERP’s journal.

CONTROL BUILT IN

You decide what posts on its own.

Per process you choose: review every entry, approve only the exceptions, or let entries post within thresholds you set. Payments always stay with your team.

  • Review gates where you want them, so a person checks the work before the next step starts.
  • Thresholds by account and amount, so only what you’ve agreed posts on its own.
  • A decision log of every posting, approval and rejection: by whom or which agent, when, and why.
  • Citations to IFRS, US GAAP and Nordic GAAP for every judgement, so you can follow the reasoning.
  • Results you can share as a PDF or straight to your team’s chat.

A close run, start to finish

  1. Agents run in order

    Revenue, costs, accruals and prepayments first; balance sheet, bank and VAT next.

  2. Your team reviews what you’ve chosen to review

    Approve entries, answer questions, send back what needs another look.

  3. Close review checks the whole

    Everything reconciles, nothing is left open, the result is explained.

  4. Entries post and you sign off

    By your team, or automatically within your limits. Every posting is logged.
