Profile

Much of the month-end close is the same list as last month, with the same people handing in the same documents late.

The assistant keeps that list, chases what is missing and prepares the standard checks, so the controller looks at the results rather than the gathering.

What gets booked and what the numbers mean stays human work. The fetching and preparing does not.

What it does, step by step

  1. Activate the checklistThe fixed steps of your close, with an owner and a deadline for each.
  2. Track submissionsWho needs to deliver what, what is in and what is still missing.
  3. Run the standard checksReconciliations, unusual entries and items that differ from previous months.
  4. Present findingsA list of what stands out and why, not a verdict on the numbers.
  5. Show progressWhere the close stands, so nobody has to ask how far along it is.

Onboarded into your business

Marijke does not start from a generic script. Like any new colleague, Marijke is onboarded into the way your team works first.

  • Your knowledgeWe onboard Marijke with your own documents, examples and agreements, so the work is done the way your team does it.
  • Your systemsWe set up the integrations for the software you already use. Different fields or different steps? We adapt to them.
  • Your rulesYou decide what Marijke handles on its own and what always goes to a person first.
  • Grows with youWhen your way of working, a system or a rule changes, we adjust Marijke to match.

What runs automatically and what does not

You stay in control.

Not every decision should be made automatically. For each workflow, we set out:

  • What can happen automatically.
  • What is put forward for approval first.
  • When a person is brought in.
  • What information is stored.
  • How actions are logged.

Is this a fit for your organisation?

A good fit if

  • Finance teams with a recurring close cycle.
  • Organisations with multiple entities or locations.
  • Situations where the close mainly stalls on submissions.

Less of a fit if

  • Organisations where the close runs differently every month.
  • Judging the numbers themselves: that stays with the controller or accountant.

What it can deliver

  • Less time spent chasing who still needs to deliver what.
  • Recurring checks that always get run, even in a busy month.
  • Earlier sight of what is holding up the close.

Directions, not promises. As soon as there is evidence from a client project, it will appear here as a substantiated result.

Frequently asked questions

Does an AI employee do the month-end close itself?

No. It gathers, monitors and flags. The entries and the judgement on the numbers stay with your controller or accountant. That is not a technical limitation but a deliberate line: a close is an act of accountability, not a pass-through process.

Which checks can it run automatically?

The checks you already run that are rule-based: reconciliations between sub-ledgers, items that differ sharply from previous months, entries on unusual accounts, and open items that stay open too long.

Does this work with multiple entities or locations?

Yes, and that is where it helps most, because tracking who delivers what is then the largest part of the work.

Can it also support the auditor with the annual accounts?

It can track document submissions and complete the files. The substantive discussions with your accountant stay human work.
