Continuous Close

Self-closing books. Closing daily.

Month-end shouldn't be a week-long scramble. StartOS reconciles your books every night, so by the time you reach the 1st the routine work is already done. All that's left is judgment.

Part 1 · Daily Close

Your books reconcile every night. You review in the morning.

Continuous reconciliation, not batch month-end panic. The Daily Close agent runs a 14-step workflow on a schedule: matching bank feeds, categorizing transactions, syncing provider costs, drafting accruals, and posting recognition. High-confidence items clear automatically; everything else waits for you in a review queue.

Part 2 · Month-End Close

What's left is just the adjustments.

Daily close handles the routine, so month-end is no longer a reconciliation marathon. It's the typed adjusting entries that genuinely need a controller (stock comp, depreciation, bad debt, tax provision, deferred-revenue true-ups), plus a final flux review and the period lock. Year-end? Same engine, with a closing JE that zeroes every P&L account and rolls the result into retained earnings.

Daily and month-end, one continuous loop

1

Every night: Iskra reconciles

The Daily Close agent runs 14 steps on a schedule: bank matching, categorization, cost sync, accruals, rev rec. The routine is handled before you log in.

2

Each morning: you review exceptions

Anomalies, flux variances, and items below the auto-apply threshold land in a review queue. You make judgment calls, not data entry.

3

Month-end: post the adjustments, lock

Because the reconciliation is already done, month-end is just the typed AJEs. Post them, run flux one last time, and lock the period.
