INTRODUCING REAL-TIME ACCOUNTING
As your business moves, accounting now moves with it.

Your business doesn’t run monthly.
Why should accounting work that way?
Your business moves every day. Now your accounting can too. Every day, your business moves forward. Until now, the accounting that explains it has waited for the month-end. Gathering data, reconciling transactions, and preparing journals took time and people, so finance teams saved it for the close.
That constraint is changing.
Connected data, dependable accounting systems, and agents that carry out the work mean accounting can now move with the business, throughout the month, without asking more of your team. This is real-time accounting: numbers that keep pace with the business they exist to understand.
A clearer picture.
A faster close gets you answers sooner after month-end. Real-time accounting gets them to you during the month, while you can still act on them.
01
Understand where the business stands
As new activity is accounted for, it becomes part of your financial picture. Finance can see what is changing and bring that understanding into decisions while they are being made.
02
Resolve issues as they emerge
Differences and missing information surface closer to when they happen, while the context is fresh. Your team can investigate and act before a small question becomes a month-end blocker.
03
Keep work from building up
Agents carry out routine work throughout the month, leaving fewer tasks and unanswered questions for the close. Your team has more time to think, with less pressure to fit everything into the same few days.
This is what accounting was always becoming.
Every improvement in accounting has brought the work closer to the business. We built Stacks to take that further, so teams can spend less time preparing the numbers and more time using them. Agents now make more of that work possible, but they need the right data, dependable accounting tools and a place to work alongside the people responsible for the results.

Connected financial data
Real-time accounting starts with a shared view of the business. Stacks keeps connected financial data in sync and brings it together in one place, so people, agents and accounting systems can work from the same underlying records. As new data arrives, it becomes available for work to move forward across the workspace.
Accounting logic
Agents need a foundation that makes their work reliable. Stacks combines matching engines and accounting logic with your permissions, policies and controls, so intelligence can operate within the boundaries your business requires. Every result stays connected to its supporting evidence, making the work traceable and ready for review.
Collaboration
The Stacks Workspace is the shared home for accounting work, whether it is carried out by a person or an agent. Your team can assign work, give instructions, resolve questions and review results alongside the data and evidence behind them. When an agent needs judgment, the right person can step in with the context already there, and the work can continue.
Accounting that moves with your business.
Across reconciliations, cash and reporting, Stacks brings people and agents together to carry out work as the necessary information becomes available, keeping your books current and more of the month-end work already done.
Reconciliations
Match transactions as they become available, with differences brought to your team alongside the supporting detail, so questions can be resolved before the close.
Intercompany
Keep balances aligned across entities throughout the month, with agents matching transactions and teams working together to resolve differences while the context is fresh.
Close Management
