The AI drafts. A human confirms. Nothing posts to the ledger on its own.

The close board that runs your month-end with you.

Every entry, every owner, every file, one board. It reads what your month sends it, drafts the journal entries with the work shown, and waits for a person to say post.

Built for the way a close actually arrives

Not a portal your team has to be trained into. They keep sending what they already send, and the board does the reading.

READ

Drop anything on its entry

Excel in any tab layout, CSV, PDF, even a phone screenshot read by OCR with an honest warning flag that never comes off on its own.

EMAIL

Or just email it

Forward the workbook to the board's own address. Confident matches draft themselves and say so; anything uncertain gets a banner and a human decision. Strangers bounce.

CARRY

Roll-forward that tells the truth

Next month starts from last month: proven-fixed entries fill in flagged for confirmation, data-driven entries stay blank and say exactly what they are waiting for.

GUARD

Guards that hold, not guess

Wrong file on the wrong entry is held and named. A workbook carrying two journals gets a tab picker. An empty payroll file is refused loudly, never attached as a zero.

AUDIT

QC with four honest states

A deterministic rule layer ties every entry to the ledger and reports tied, check, open, or not covered. Every rule is proven able to fail.

CLOSE

Close package on demand

Export the JE register workbook and the combined ledger import file. Posting is a guided flow; the event log records who confirmed it and when.

How your data reaches the board

Two families of ledger, two ways the numbers move, one board in the middle. Reading a system beats parsing its export, and the board does both.

FILE EXCHANGE

Desktop ledgers

QuickBooks Desktop and anything else that can only export a file. The board reads what the ledger produces and writes back what the ledger imports.

  • Drop, email, or portal upload, all through one reader
  • Working papers: amortization, depreciation, lease schedules
  • Back in as a one-click import file, confirmed by a person
LIVE CONNECTION

Cloud ledgers and feeds

QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and the shared cloud systems around them. The board pulls the data itself and posts back only after a person confirms.

  • Trial balance, GL detail and agings read at the source
  • Payroll, bank and order feeds pulled on schedule
  • Entries posted live, after the human confirm, on the record
Either path, same rule. A live connection changes how the numbers arrive, never who approves them. The confirm stays human on both sides.
