For controllers, accounting managers and VPs of finance

AI workflows for the close, with the controls written down.

A free library of AI prompts and procedures for corporate accounting work: bank recs, accruals, flux, ASC 606 and 842 memos, audit requests. Each one says what AI should do, what a person must review, and what it should never touch.

Safe to automate

Low-judgment, reversible, fully checkable output. AI can run it; a person spot-checks.

Human review

AI prepares, matches, drafts or flags. A named person reviews every output before it is used.

Never automate

Judgment, approval or posting steps. AI may inform them; it never performs them.
