01Capability
Cutoff Orchestration
Cutoff dates enforced across every entity and sub-ledger. AP, AR, payroll, expenses, intercompany — all locked on the same calendar. No more chasing entities for late entries the week before close.
Financial Close Automation
Month-End. Days, Not Weeks
Cutoff → sub-ledger sync → bank recs → intercompany → accruals → journal review → consolidation → board pack — one orchestration spanning every entity and ERP. Close in days, not weeks, with a full audit trail.

The use case
End-to-end month-end close. Days, not weeks.
Eight days to close. Should be three. Five entities, four ERPs, two currencies. The bottleneck is reconciliation — bank recs, intercompany, sub-ledger ties — followed by a five-day journal-entry review pile-up the audit team only gets to at quarter-end. The board pack ships on Day +12. Half its decisions are stale on arrival.
Pre-built workflow template: cutoff enforced across every entity → sub-ledger sync via every ERP in parallel → bank reconciliation auto-matched → intercompany auto-matched and eliminated → accruals and FX entries drafted by agents → journal review queue routed by materiality → consolidation across entities and currencies → variance analysis updated continuously → board pack assembled on Day 3. One orchestration. Every ERP. Full audit trail per journal entry.
For who
Group Controller
“Close is 8 days. Should be 3. Bottleneck is rec across 5 entities.”
CFO
“Board pack ships Day +12 every month. Decisions wait.”
Internal Audit
“Journal entries pile up unreviewed until quarter-end.”
FP&A Director
“Forecast vs actual variance starts 14 days late. Loses half its value.”
Capabilities
What Financial Close Automation actually does.
02Capability
Multi-ERP Sub-Ledger Sync
Pulls trial balances and sub-ledger detail from every ERP — SAP, Oracle, Sage, NetSuite, Workday, Pennylane, Cegid and 30+ more — in parallel. One consolidated view across entities and currencies, no manual exports.
03Capability
Intercompany Auto-Matching
Astral resolves intercompany entities natively across ERPs. Reciprocal transactions auto-matched. Imbalances surfaced with the offending entries pre-identified. Eliminations posted automatically per policy.
04Capability
AI-Drafted Journal Entries
Accruals, prepayments, FX revaluation, deferred revenue — drafted by agents using historical patterns and current activity. Each entry carries its reasoning, supporting docs, and confidence score. Reviewer approves, edits, or rejects in one click.
