Billow

Finance teams spend the first half of every month doing manual, backward-looking close work: reconciling bank and card accounts, matching transactions, preparing accruals, and assembling board reporting packages. This work is traditionally done by hand or through outsourced teams, taking weeks per cycle. One customer described their outsourced team taking 15 days to build a monthend folder and workpapers. CFOs describe the week before a board meeting as 'assembly,' spending time compiling rather than reviewing.

Billow integrates directly with a company's existing tools (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Dynamics 365) rather than requiring file exports, and automates recurring close tasks including bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, payroll and expense entries, multi-entity consolidation, and financial reporting. It learns a company's existing close process from prior closes run by hand, so teams don't have to restart their workflow. The system performs matching and exception detection automatically (shown reconciling 1,284 of 1,287 transactions with 3 flagged exceptions), then prepares Excel workpapers and supporting documents for human review and approval before anything is finalized.
