The Problem

Every SaaS Finance month-end runs on a checklist in NetSuite that lives in someone's head — and when that person is out, close slips and reviewers have no visibility into what's done vs. waiting.

What We Build in NetSuite

AI runs the close checklist, prompts owners for missing items, flags JE variances over threshold, and writes the close memo — close window compresses from 10 business days to 4. Purpose-built for teams running NetSuite — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in NetSuite with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
