Issues are flagged before close, not discovered after. Your numbers land clean.

Human oversight

Your controller, in every step.

The agents do the work. But there’s a senior controller with their name on the close. Not as a rubber stamp at the end — woven through every step that matters.

  • Every adjustment journal is reviewed by your controller before posting. Rev rec, accruals, FX, intercompany — agent proposes, controller approves.
  • The trial balance review is a human step, not a tick-box. Your controller looks at the numbers, flags anomalies, asks the questions before close.
  • Final close approval is signed off by a real human with their name on it. Period locked. Numbers stand. Audit trail kept.
  • Variance commentary drafted by the agent, edited by your FP&A lead. Adds the judgement that turns a number into a story.

“The agents do the volume work that used to grind a finance team flat. I do the judgement calls — which adjustments to question, which variances to dig into, where the story doesn’t add up. By the 1st, we’ve closed, and I’ve actually been able to think.”
