Reconciliations in spreadsheets, journal entries by hand, and the close slips into the second week.
Reconciliations run nightly against the ledger. Unmatched items land on one list with the reason attached.
Journal sign-off.
The seven days.
Fixed scope · two exit gates
Days 1–2
We record the close checklist as it runs today, time each step, and write the tests: reconciliation coverage, unmatched items, days to close.
Days 3–5
We connect the ledger, the bank feeds and the subledgers, add the matching rules, and put every unmatched item on one list with its reason.
Days 6–7
The build runs beside the current close, passes the tests, and goes live with the controller’s sign-off.
What we measure. Days to close, hours on reconciliation, unmatched items at close. The same numbers, measured again on day 7.
The two exit gates. Day 2: if the source data isn’t there, we stop and you pay for the map only. Day 7: the tests pass, or the final payment waits. The full offer.
APQC: top performers finish the annual close in 10 days or less; the median takes 18 days, laggards 35. 2026. Source
Straight answers.
Three questions · asked on most first calls
Do you replace our accounting system?
No. We work on the systems you have: the ledger, the bank feeds, the subledgers and the spreadsheets that connect them.
Who posts the journal entries?
The build prepares them with the support attached. Your controller reviews and posts. Nothing hits the ledger without a person.
Can this run across many clients at once?
Yes. Accounting firms run the same checklist per client; the build runs it the same way for every client and reports what is still open.

20 minutes. A straight answer.
Bring the month-end close workflow as it runs today. We name the seven-day build on the call—or tell you not to automate it.
Security first? Ask for the packet: data boundary, access, approvals, logs.
