Close Agent
Owns the Checklist. Drafts JEs. Closes the Books
Orchestrates the close checklist across entities — tracks dependencies, escalates blockers, drafts journal entries, and writes the Day-7 CFO narrative. Astral resolves intercompany counterparties across 30+ ERPs so eliminations agree first time. Close drops from 15 days to 5, 100% of tasks visible, audit trail attached to every action. Built on the same skill architecture as Anthropic's published financial-close-workflow.

The use case
Close in 5 days. Resolve every intercompany. Hand audit a clean trail.
Group controllers running 6, 8, 12 entities. Close checklist lives in Excel — nobody updates it. IC eliminations are a three-day chase across subsidiaries that don't agree. CFO learns Day-12 variances on Day 18. Statutory audit asks for walkthroughs across four systems and the team loses a week.
Close Agent owns the checklist end to end, drafts journal entries grounded in source data, resolves intercompany counterparties via Astral, and writes the Day-7 narrative. Every step timestamped, every reasoning chain attached. Close drops to 5 days, audit gets one clean trail, CFO gets variances on Day 7 — when decisions still matter.
For who
Group Controller
“15-day close. 6 entities. Excel checklist nobody updates. IC never agrees.”
CFO
“I learn variances Day 12. Decisions come Day 18. The month is already over.”
International Controller
“IC eliminations are a 3-day chase across subs. Differences get posted and ignored.”
Internal Audit
“Close trail in 4 systems. Walkthroughs take a week. Evidence never lines up.”
Capabilities
What Close Agent actually does.
02Capability
Auto-Drafted Journal Entries
Drafts accruals, prepayments, FX revaluations, and reclassifications from source data. Reversing entries created automatically. Posts to GL on approval — or with no-touch for whitelisted categories.
03Capability
Astral Intercompany Resolution
Matches IC counterparties across subsidiaries via the Astral knowledge graph, even when entity codes and naming conventions disagree. Eliminations agree at close, not after three days of chasing.
04Capability
Day-7 CFO Narrative Drafter
Generates the close commentary with variance highlights, IC anomalies, and material movements explained. CFO edits, approves, sends. Cuts close-narrative drafting from a full day to under an hour.
