Month end close automation that shaves days off the close.

Month end close automation is using AI agents to do the repetitive work of closing the books: prorating invoices that cross the close boundary, proposing AP accruals, deduping related vendor bills, and drafting the journal entries. The judgment stays with your team — agents propose, staff review and approve, and only approved entries post to the GL.

AP accruals are the expenses you record at month end for bills you have not received or posted yet, so the month reports honestly. At a multi-branch company that means finding every invoice that crosses the boundary, splitting it across the right periods, and deduping the related vendor bills — by hand. One CFO told us it takes two or three days of their close period.

AP invoice automation is the pay side: capturing, matching, and approving the bills you receive, all month long. This page is the close side: getting the books closed at month end — accruals, proration, dedupe, entries. The two workflows share data and we build both, but they solve different pains. The pay-side workflow is covered on our AP invoice automation page.

Automated accruals are accrual entries an AI agent drafts instead of a person keying them. The agent prorates each boundary invoice against your close calendar, applies your thresholds, and proposes the entry with its working shown. A person approves it — human in the loop by design — and approved entries batch-upload into Sage Intacct or whatever GL you run.

Keep it — reconciliation software is a good checklist. What it cannot do is clear the items on the checklist: it tracks that an accrual is due, but a person still builds it. AI agents do the building, so every reconciling item that follows a rule gets worked automatically, and the software keeps doing what it is good at: tracking status.

The buyer who brought us this pain was losing two or three days of the close to AP accruals alone. Your number depends on how many invoices cross your boundary and how many entities you close — tracing one close cycle puts a figure on it before anything gets built.
