Feature

From reconciliation to documentation

The Closing Agent guides you step by step through the closing – area by area, in clear phases. The agent prepares the entries; you review and approve. This allows the agent to take on the routine while you retain control.

The problem

Why the closing ties up so much expert time

The closing ties up expert time

Reconciling, accruing, valuing, posting – the closing is detailed work. Exactly the steps that keep experienced staff busy week after week, especially during closing season.

Quality is difficult to ensure

With manual reviews, inconsistencies, missing receipts, or incorrect allocations are often discovered late – which costs additional time and effort.

Constant context switching

Back and forth between your accounting, receipts, Excel, and notes. The thread gets lost, interim states are hard to trace – and mistakes surface late.

The solution

A guided closing – with you at the wheel

A guided closing

The Closing Agent works through the closing in clear phases and explains at every step what it is doing and why. You always know where you stand.

An expert for every area

Arcarius divides your accounts into clear areas – from cash and receivables through to accruals. Each area has its own expert with specialist knowledge who carries out the work.

Approval stays with you

The agent prepares the entries – they are only posted after your approval. You review, decide, and approve; the agent executes.

How it works

Five phases to an approved closing

Tailored to your client.

1

Reconciliation

For each area, you upload supporting documents or confirm balances. The agent reconciles, checks, and performs plausibility checks. It also prepares correcting entries that you can have posted with one click. At the end of the phase, your accounts are ready for the closing.

2

Closing execution

The actual closing entries are now prepared: foreign currency valuations, accruals, interest, value adjustments, or depreciation – you review and approve.

3

Post-processing

You record open topics from the closing meeting, and the Closing Agent works through them. Finally, the Closing Agent calculates the final tax provision.

4

Equity closing

The Closing Agent works through equity with you, proposes the statutory reserve allocation, and prepares the profit appropriation together with you.

5

Documentation

Arcarius compiles your finished closing dossier – based on your template or the Arcarius standard.

Features

What you can expect

Your focus shifts from execution to review and approval.

A conversational closing

The agent guides you through the closing in chat, explains every step in plain language, and answers your questions.

Structured areas

The agent divides your accounts into clear areas – such as cash, transfer accounts, and fixed assets. Each area has its own expert who adapts the work to your accounts.

Reconciliation and plausibility checks

The agent reconciles your balances against the receipts, for example bank accounts against bank statements, performs plausibility checks, and resolves differences. The focus is on the quality of your accounting.

Approvals – human in the loop

No entry is executed without your explicit approval, and no area counts as done until you have approved it.

Review and adjust

Review the prepared entries, request changes in chat, and approve them – area by area, with no media breaks.

Post-processing

After the closing meeting you record open topics, the agent works through them – and finally the tax provision is calculated.

Equity & profit appropriation

The agent works through equity with you, proposes the statutory reserve allocation, and prepares the profit appropriation together with you.
