For many enterprises, closing the books is a high-stakes race against time. Accruals often involve juggling multiple spreadsheets, reconciling thousands of transactions, and dealing with repeated follow-ups—leaving finance teams overworked and prone to costly errors. This manual complexity drains resources that could be better spent on strategic activities like forecasting, analysis, and decision-making.
