1The problem

Why the month-end close still takes weeks

Every account reconciled by hand, every month.

Low-risk accounts with a handful of entries get the same monthly spreadsheet reconciliation as bank and intercompany accounts, so close week goes to work that rarely finds anything.

Intercompany mismatches found at cut-off.

Entities book the same charge on different dates or with different references, and the mismatch surfaces only at consolidation, when fixing it pushes the close back.

More time recording than analyzing.

Accruals, allocations and FX revaluations are keyed by hand each month, so controllers finish the entries late and have little time left to explain variances.

3What you get

What the R2R redesign delivers

Close calendar

Every close task from three working days before month-end through working day five, each with its owner and dependencies, on one calendar for every entity.

Reconciliation tiers

Accounts sorted into three tiers by risk, with high-risk accounts reconciled every month and low-risk ones less often, so effort follows exposure.

Journal automation list

The recurring accruals, allocations and FX entries that can post themselves, listed with their source data and the review each one needs before posting.

Intercompany rules

One shared transaction reference and one cut-off date for all entities, so intercompany balances match before consolidation and stop surfacing at the deadline.

Your readout

Your answers shape the scope.

A sprint would likely look first at:

  • Invoice scenarios to retire
  • Exceptions by cause
  • Days lost in the close

Questions

Will Boldr AI change our chart of accounts?

Boldr AI changes the chart of accounts only where it blocks automation, and makes any change with your controller. Each proposed change is listed with the entries or reconciliations it would unblock, so your controller decides case by case.
