Feature

Closing Agent – the AI agent for your financial closing

The Closing Agent guides you step by step through the closing – area by area, in clear phases. It reconciles your accounting against the receipts and prepares the entries; you review and approve. The agent takes on the routine, and control stays with you.

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.

Hard to delegate

Handing it to juniors means checking up: where are they now, is everything clean and justified? Without a clear thread, delegation quickly turns into rework.

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.

Area by area

Arcarius splits your accounts into clear areas – from cash and receivables to accruals and equity – and works through them one after another.

Approval stays with you

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

Features

What the Closing Agent can do

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

Arcarius splits your accounts into clear areas – such as cash, receivables, payables, accruals, and fixed assets. Each area has its own chat.

Reconciliation against receipts

The agent reconciles your balances against the receipts – for example bank accounts against bank statements – and surfaces any differences.

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.

Handover across the team

Staff prepare, engagement leads approve: the agent supports a clean handover between roles – with clear permissions per phase.

A finished closing dossier

In the end you get your closing dossier – balance sheet, income statement, notes, and reconciliation dossier – ready to download. Every step and approval is documented.

How it works

A few phases to an approved closing

Area by area, until your closing dossier is ready.

1

Start the closing

You start the closing for the period you want – from monthly to annual. Arcarius splits your accounts into clear areas; areas that are not relevant you simply exclude.

2

Review area by area

For each area you upload the matching receipts or confirm a balance. Arcarius reconciles, checks, and prepares the necessary entries – you approve.

3

Finalize and get your dossier

The agent creates the closing entries, works through equity and profit appropriation with you, and makes your finished closing dossier available to download.
