Your Month-End Shouldn't Be This Hard

😫

Day 1-3: Reconciliations

Manually matching bank statements to GL. Downloading CSVs. Excel formulas. Looking for that one missing transaction.

😰

Day 4-6: Finding Errors

Discover errors that should have been caught weeks ago. Investigate. Fix. Re-run everything. Hope nothing else breaks.

😩

Day 7-10: The Real Work

Finally get to accruals, variance analysis, and reporting. The work that actually requires your expertise.

The problem: You spend 70% of month-end on routine reconciliations that could be automated, leaving only 30% for the analytical work that actually needs a controller.

Your New Month-End Process

AI handles the routine. You handle the exceptions.

1

Morning of Day 1

Old way: Download bank statements, export GL, start matching in Excel

New way: AI already ran bank recs at 6 AM. Check email for exception digest (10-15 min review)

2

Day 1 Afternoon

Old way: Still working on bank recs, haven't started AP or AR yet

New way: Resolved 3 exceptions. Started accruals and prepaid analysis.

3

Day 2-3

Old way: Finishing recs, starting variance analysis

New way: Variance analysis done. Working on journal entries. Draft financials ready.

4

Day 4: Close

Old way: Still chasing down exceptions. Maybe close by end of week.

New way: Books closed. Final review with CFO. On to next month planning.
