CFO and back office
The cash is applied before anyone opens the lockbox file.
It runs inside your ERP and the spreadsheets your team already keeps. Every payment ties to the cent, and a person signs before a single entry posts.
The reality
A person keys checks by hand all morning, then starts on the bank rec.
The lockbox file lands. Someone opens it, reads each check and remittance, and keys the cash against open invoices one line at a time.
A payment covers six invoices and shorts one. Finding which one, and why, is a person squinting at a remittance PDF.
The bank statement comes in. Every line gets matched to the ledger by hand, and the unmatched ones sit until somebody chases them.
Month end starts, and the same people who applied the cash now key the accruals, then rebuild the board pack from numbers they hope still tie.
Until it's one button.
What the button does.
Your files go in. Posted entries come out. Nothing moves to a new platform.
It reads the lockbox file, matches each payment to the open invoices, applies the cash in your ERP, and lists the ones it could not tie. A second pass rederives every match before anything posts. You review and sign.
One button, four jobs
The work it takes off the desk.
The lockbox file lands with the morning's checks and remittances.
Reads every check and remittance, matches each payment to the open invoices, applies the cash in your ERP, and flags the ones it could not tie.
The bank statement comes in for the day.
Reconciles every line against the ledger and surfaces each unmatched item on its own, so your team works the breaks instead of the whole feed.
Month end starts and the accruals are due.
Drafts the accruals and the roll forwards with the working shown, and traces every figure back to the entry it came from.
The board wants the pack.
Drafts the reporting from numbers already tied out in the close, so the pack sits on figures that reconcile instead of a fresh keying pass.
Proof
The cash application and reconciliation builds have real numbers behind them, measured on live client work. They're under NDA until those clients sign off on sharing them, so I'm not going to quote you a figure I can't stand behind yet. What I can show you is the pattern: read the file, tie every match to the invoice, block the output until a second pass agrees, keep a named person on the signature. That same pattern runs in the close and reconciliation packs below, free, in your own Claude. Watch one run, then put your own lockbox file in front of it.
Built in public
The same pattern, running free in the library today.
- Cut Your Month End Close to One Day
Matches the bank feed, books the accruals with the working shown, and traces every entry back to its source, so the close drops to something the board can audit line by line. Free to run.
- Statement Matching and Reconciliation
Matches scanned bank, custodian, and brokerage statements to your ledger and returns only the breaks, on your own machine. Free to run.
- Board Variance Bridge Second Read
Runs a second read on the board variance bridge, splits the miss into price, volume, and mix, and writes the one line of commentary a CFO would sign.
What you keep.
- It runs in your tenant. Your ledger and bank data never leave your environment.
- Every entry ties to the cent, back to the invoice or statement line it came from.
- A second pass rederives the match, and the output blocks until the two agree.
- You own the code. No subscription, no seat you rent back from us.
- No new login. It works inside the ERP and spreadsheets your team already opens every morning.
Built for the controller who would rather review exceptions than key checks.
The manual version is free
Try it on a static file first.
The packs below run the same read on a statement or a close you paste in, in your own Claude, today. Free to pull down and keep. The installed version is the one wired into your ERP, running the second the lockbox file lands. Run the manual one this week. If it saves the morning, the build is wiring it in properly.
Put your own lockbox file in front of it.
The audit is 35 minutes. You show us the close work that burns the most hours, we put a dollar number on it and tell you straight whether this moves it. No pitch deck.
