Intake to binder, with a findings loop in the middle.

Bad intake is the normal case, not the edge case. So every area runs the same way: connect, build, review — with findings raised the moment something does not tie.

1 · CONNECT

Any ledger, any document

QuickBooks Online, Xero, or an Excel GL and trial balance — plus bank statements, leases, invoices and contracts as PDF, Excel or Word. Every extracted value keeps its source citation.

2 · BUILD

Checked, then drafted

The TB must foot and roll before anything runs. Then firm-encoded procedures produce the schedules: formulas live, check rows at zero, cross-foots tied.

3 · REVIEW

Validated, then signed

Every output reviewed, then the sign-off you choose. Only then does it reach the binder.

The client portal

One number your CFO actually wants: how ready are we?

Readiness score, days to fieldwork, and a to-do list in plain priority. Upload documents, answer findings, assign owners, send reminders — and watch areas go audit-ready one by one.

The findings loop

Bad data in. Findings out — never bad schedules.

Every run produces the deliverable, the findings, and the data requests. You respond in the portal, the module re-runs, and the finding closes only when the re-run passes.

BlockerStops the module. A trial balance that does not roll.
AdjustmentChanges a number. An uncapitalized lease, with the ASC 842 schedule already drafted.
NoteThe auditor will ask. A stale reconciling item.

Review, your way

Reviewed twice. Signed by a name your auditor trusts.

Always Figures tie to sources, formulas intact, completeness checked — before anyone signs.
OPTION 1

Self-review

Your qualified management staff review and sign in the portal. Right for companies with a controller who has been through an audit.

Reviewer name, title and date stamped in every file
OPTION 2

Your advisor

Invite the adviser you already work with. They review the same drafts in the same console and sign under their own name.

Advisory firms can run whole client books this way
OPTION 3

Live advisor

An experienced CPA reviewer we provide — senior managers and partners who have been through PCAOB audits and inspections.

Per area, per month, or for a single memo
The deliverable

"The PBC list is done before fieldwork starts."

Lettered the way audit teams already work. Formulas stay live, check rows equal zero, and every workpaper carries its procedure version, input hash and reviewer — reproducible six months later.
