Monthly Bookkeeping Close Automation
Close your books every month in hours instead of days — automated reconciliation, journal entries, and reporting.
What is this automation?
Month-end close is the single most painful recurring event for most finance teams — a week of late nights chasing missing receipts, fixing miscategorised expenses, and rebuilding reports by hand. This automation reduces close from days to hours.
The Problem
Your bookkeeper spends the first week of every month catching up on the previous month — reconciling bank feeds, chasing receipts from operators, and rebuilding the same three reports over and over. Half the close is administrative cleanup, not actual accounting.
The Solution
An end-to-end workflow that pre-reconciles transactions nightly, auto-collects receipts via OCR, generates standard journal entries from a templated rules engine, and produces the closing report pack on the first business day of the new month.
Step-by-step workflow
