Agentic Month-End Close

Month-end close cut from five days to one, running in real time on Oracle AI Agent Studio. Agents reconcile, accrue, match intercompany and draft the variance commentary, and controllers review exceptions instead of building the close.

The problem

What this workflow costs today.

01Close is a calendar, not a process

Five days of checklists, spreadsheets and chasing, repeated every month with the same bottlenecks.

02Reconciliations done by hand

Bank, subledger and balance sheet reconciliations are prepared manually and reviewed late.

03Intercompany never agrees

Mismatched intercompany balances hold up consolidation until the last day.

04Commentary written at midnight

Variance explanations for management are drafted under pressure after the numbers finally settle.

Three workstreams, one close

From five days to one.

Reconcile, adjust and report run in parallel instead of in sequence.

How it works

The AiX™ loop, applied end to end.

Every agent follows the same five steps, so behaviour is predictable and every step leaves evidence.

1
Observe

General ledger, subledgers, bank statements, open POs, contracts, intercompany balances and the close calendar in Oracle Fusion.

2
Reason

Reconciles balances, identifies differences, matches intercompany and tests accruals against evidence.

3
Decide

Clears what matches within tolerance, and decides which exceptions need a controller and which journals to propose.

4
Act

Posts approved entries, updates the close tracker in real time and drafts the variance commentary.

5
Learn

Learns recurring differences and accrual patterns so next month starts with fewer exceptions.

The agent team

Specialist agents, separated by duty.

No single agent both proposes and approves. Each one has a narrow job, its own tools and its own permissions.

Close Orchestrator Agent

Runs the close calendar, tracks every task and owner, and escalates anything at risk of slipping.

Reconciliation Agent

Prepares bank, subledger and balance sheet reconciliations and flags unexplained differences.

Accruals & Intercompany Agent

Proposes accruals from open POs and contracts and matches intercompany balances across entities.

Variance Commentary Agent

Explains movements against budget and prior period, citing the journals behind each one.

Autonomy you can govern, trace and control.

Speed comes from autonomy. Trust comes from the three things around it. This is how each is designed into Agentic Month-End Close.

Autonomy

Reconciliations, matching, tracking and commentary drafting run continuously through the month and the close window.

Governance

The close calendar, materiality, journal approval limits and segregation of duties mirror the existing Oracle controls.

Traceability

Every reconciliation, proposed journal and commentary line links to the source transactions and supporting evidence.

Control

Controllers approve journals and period sign-off stays with the CFO; tolerances are owned by finance.

AiX™Authentic AIExplainable, traceable, reconcilable
Autonomy bands

What the agent does alone, and what it never does.

Bands are agreed with the business before go-live and widened only on evidence from the pilot.

Guardrails

  • Journals above limits require a named approver
  • Period sign-off is a human decision
  • Segregation of duties enforced as in Oracle
  • Every proposed journal carries its evidence pack
Outcomes & measurement

Every metric has a baseline and a method.

Success metrics are agreed before build and signed off with the client after the pilot.

How we deliver

The A.G.E.N.T. Method.

Agentic process reengineering, one workflow at a time.

AAudit

Map how the workflow really runs today, with owners, data lineage and the tacit rules.

GGauge

Agree the business outcome, the baseline and the success metrics before build.

EEngineer

Redesign for agent-first execution: agents, tools, rules and autonomy bands.

NNavigate

Pilot inside your controls, train owners and move bands only on evidence.

TTrack

Measure against the baseline and report the result the business signed off.

Start with one workflow, one agent and one measurable result.

Book a working session with our team in Dubai, Riyadh or the UK. We will map the workflow, agree the metric and show the agent running on data like yours.
