Reporting & MD&A
Turn a budget-vs-actual schedule into a clear management discussion that explains revenue, margin and expense variances, and flags every variance it cannot explain instead of guessing.
Reporting & MD&A
Use AI to map your chart of accounts to financial statement lines, then drop the trial balance into a formula-driven template that builds the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and budget comparison, with automatic tie-out checks.
Tax & Compliance
For payments made in 2026, the 1099-NEC and most 1099-MISC thresholds rose from $600 to $2,000. Fewer vendors need a form, but you still need the right ones, a W-9 for each, and a clean name and TIN before the February 1, 2027 deadline. The workbook sorts vendors; AI maps your AP export and drafts the W-9 requests.
Month-End Close
Reconcile gross to net every pay date and payroll tax liability by jurisdiction every month, so a missed deposit, an unregistered state or an outdated SUI rate shows up this month instead of in an agency notice later. The workbook does the math; AI maps the exports and drafts the exceptions memo.
Tax & Compliance
Before the W-2s go out, make the payroll register, the four quarterly Forms 941, the W-2s and W-3, the state reconciliations and Form 940 agree. A difference caught in January is a payroll correction or one Form 941-X; caught after filing, it's W-2c forms and a mismatch notice. The workbook does the math; AI maps the exports and drafts the exceptions memo.
Month-End Close
Load the auditor's prepared-by-client (PBC) list into one tracker, give every request an owner and a due date, and make sure each schedule is reviewed and ties to the trial balance before it goes out. The workbook tracks and ties; AI maps the auditor's list and drafts the weekly status email.
Month-End Close
Stop rebuilding the prepaid schedule and the accrual list every month. Change the month-end date and the workbook amortizes each prepaid, tracks every open accrual, builds the proposed entry and ties to the GL. AI reads new invoices and contracts to draft the rows and explains the month's changes; formulas do the math.
Month-End Close
Rank income statement movements by size, and get a list of likely causes to check in the general ledger for each one, so your flux review starts with the right questions.
Month-End Close
Have AI act as a second reviewer on a reconciliation workpaper: footing, the tie to the general ledger, stale reconciling items, repeats from last month and sign errors.
Month-End Close
Turn a messy list of close tasks into an organized close calendar by business day, with owners, dependencies, reviewers and the evidence each task should produce.
Financial Models
Get a clean, formula-driven pricing model: cost build-up, price at a target margin, volume tiers, breakeven and a sensitivity table, without hours of formatting.
Forecasting & FP&A
Build a week-by-week cash forecast from your AR and AP agings, payroll calendar and fixed payments, with clear assumptions and a minimum-cash alert.
Forecasting & FP&A
Combine year-to-date actuals with a reasoned forecast for the remaining months, comparing budget, run-rate and adjusted methods line by line.
Board Decks
Go from the reporting package to a crisp board deck outline: one takeaway per slide, the right chart for each point, and the decisions you need from the board.
Document Review
Get a finance-focused summary of a vendor or customer contract: key terms with section references, a calendar of financial obligations, flags against your standard positions and questions for counsel.
Document Review
Put renewal proposals and your current coverage into one comparison table: limits, deductibles, premiums, exclusions and gaps, plus questions for your broker.
Financial Models
Compare the after-tax cost of leasing and buying equipment with a net present value model, a breakeven discount rate and sensitivities, plus the qualitative factors.
SOPs & Training
Record yourself doing a task once, or jot down rough notes, and turn it into a clear, numbered standard operating procedure your team can follow and train from.
SOPs & Training
Load your SOPs, policies and chart of accounts into an AI project, so staff can ask questions in plain English and get answers that cite your own documents.
Meetings & Inbox
Stop rebuilding the same PowerPoint for every ops review, leadership meeting and lender call. Write a one-page spec for each recurring meeting once, then paste this week's numbers and notes and get slide-ready content in your template.
Meetings & Inbox
Have AI read overnight email and hand you a short list: what needs you today, what to delegate, what to schedule, and what is just FYI. You make the calls; nothing gets sent or deleted on its own.
