The routine work runs automatically. You answer only when business context is genuinely ambiguous.
Books that remain yours.
Export the complete ledger, source manifest, and audit history whenever you want.
What “done” looks like every month.
We collect transactions and official statements, apply your approved rules, reconcile every account to the penny, then prepare the close for your review. A difference or unresolved exception blocks the close—it is never waved through.
