Books closed on time
The Finance Engine keeps the books for every company you run to a written standard, as a standing service, working alongside the finance team you already have.
What it is
The Finance Engine is multi-company accounting run as a standing service. Bank feeds are reconciled, receipts categorized and matched, and entries classified by rules that learn from your corrections. The books close on a fixed monthly schedule. We run it alongside the people who already know your business: they keep the judgment calls, and the system carries the volume.
What you receive
| Stage | What lands | What it settles |
|---|---|---|
| Read the books | A review of your current books, bank connections and close process against a written standard | Where the books stand today, and what a clean close requires |
| Build the rules | Categorization and matching rules built from your own corrections, entity by entity | How the routine work gets done consistently, across every company you run |
| Run the cadence | Bank feeds, receipts and entries run on a monthly close schedule | A close date you can plan around, every month, without a scramble |
| Review who carries what | A written record of what runs on its own and what still needs your team's judgment | What your team owns going forward, and what we keep carrying for you |
What it needs from you
- Access to your bank feeds and accounting system, current and historical
- A named person on your team who can answer questions about historical entries
- Agreement on a close cadence and what "done" means for your books
- Time from your finance team during the first cycle, to align on the rules
How it ends
The Finance Engine runs as a standing service rather than a project with an end date. A written record of what your team owns and what we carry is reviewed on a cadence you set. When your team is ready to take a piece back in house, we agree it in writing.
Where it fits
The Finance Engine is the Build stage of the Cash and working capital lane in Finance. It follows a Profit Survey or a Margin Discipline Blueprint that names cash or working capital as the constraint. See the three stages for the full sequence, or the Finance area for the rest of what we look at here.
