AI agents that handle reconciliation, journal entries, flux analysis, and consolidation — transforming your month-end close from a fire drill into a predictable, accelerated process.
THE PROBLEM
Despite billions spent on ERP systems, the financial close remains one of the most labor-intensive processes in finance. Teams work overtime, errors compound under pressure, and the business waits for numbers.
Serial handoffs
Tasks wait on upstream completion
Sub-ledgers, reconciliations, journals, consolidation, and reporting are dependent steps. One late queue delays everything downstream.
Exception queues
Breaks require investigation
Matching is only the start. Teams still need to investigate differences, document evidence, obtain approvals, and close each exception.
Hidden cost
Manual work compounds
Overtime, rework, error remediation, and delayed reporting consume finance capacity that could be used for review and analysis.

CAPABILITIES
AI agents that don't just track tasks — they execute them. From reconciliation through consolidation, agents handle the work while your team handles the judgment.
Agents orchestrate the entire close process — from sub-ledger reconciliation through consolidation to final reporting — tracking dependencies and parallelizing where possible.
Agents analyze accruals, prepayments, and adjustments, then prepare journal entries with full supporting documentation — ready for review and posting.
Automated period-over-period analysis that identifies material variances, investigates root causes, and prepares explanations before your team even asks.
Built-in SOX controls testing, segregation of duties enforcement, and automated sign-off workflows that keep your close compliant without slowing it down.
THE ACCELERATED CLOSE
Your team reviews and approves. Agents do the heavy lifting.
The financial close involves dozens of repetitive steps: sub-ledger reconciliation, intercompany matching, journal entry preparation, flux analysis, consolidation, and reporting. Our agents automate the data gathering, matching, calculation, and documentation steps — your team focuses on review, judgment calls, and strategic analysis rather than data wrangling.
Yes. Aetherix agents integrate with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, BlackLine, FloQast, and other close management platforms. They complement your existing tools by handling the manual work between systems that typically requires analyst intervention.
Close management tools organize and track the close process — they're task managers for finance teams. Aetherix agents actually do the work: they match transactions, prepare journal entries, investigate variances, and generate reports. Think of it as the difference between a project management tool and an employee who executes the tasks.
The timeline depends on source-system access, entity count, close scope, control requirements, and historical-data quality. We start with a bounded, high-volume workflow, validate the controls and escalation path, and expand after the operating model is proven.
