Month-end close, on autopilot.
Autessa works the checklist — reconciliations, accruals, intercompany matches — and flags only the items that genuinely need a human.
The problem
The few items that need judgment are buried under the ones that do not.
Month-end close is a week of grind that is mostly mechanical: reconciliations, accruals, intercompany matches. The handful of items that genuinely need judgment are buried under the ones that do not.
Turn a week of close into a same-day review.

The solution
Work the checklist. Surface only the exceptions.
Autessa works the checklist — reconciliations, accruals, intercompany matches — flags only the items that genuinely need a human, and turns a week of grind into a same-day review. Your team spends its time on the exceptions, not the routine.
The mechanical checklist
Reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany matches are completed automatically against your ledgers, so the repetitive bulk of the close is done without your team keying it through.
Only what needs a human
Autessa routes the genuine exceptions — like an intercompany mismatch — to your team, and marks the rest done, so review is exception-only rather than line-by-line.
How it fits
A close that surfaces the exceptions on its own.
Autessa works the checklist as the period closes, completing the routine items and holding back only what needs you. There is no manual tick-through and nothing re-keyed between accounts.
The close stays yours. Autessa completes the mechanical work and surfaces the exceptions; your team reviews and signs off.
Nothing is posted past you. The routine is automated, not the control — every exception is shown before the books are closed.
Questions finance teams ask
Straight answers before you book.
Does it close the books without me?+
No. Autessa completes the mechanical checklist and surfaces the exceptions that need judgment. Your team reviews and signs off. It turns a week of grind into a same-day review, but the close stays yours.
What parts of the close does it handle?+
Reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany matching are worked automatically, with only the items that genuinely need a human — like an intercompany mismatch — routed to your team.
Can it follow our existing close checklist?+
Yes. Autessa works your reconciliations, accruals, and intercompany matches the way your close already runs, so it fits your checklist rather than imposing a new one. The items that reconcile cleanly are marked done; the rest come to you.
How does it handle intercompany matching?+
Autessa matches intercompany entries across entities automatically and surfaces only the mismatches — like a $2.1K difference that does not tie out — so your team spends time resolving the break instead of hunting for it.
Will it shorten our close, and by how much?+
By turning the mechanical bulk of the checklist into exception-only review, Autessa turns what is often a week of grind into a same-day review. How much you save depends on your volume, but the time goes back to judgment instead of ticking boxes.
