Close your books fast. Continuous Close
the end to the month-end

Your books should be closed every day, not in a scramble once a month. Continuous close is a new architecture that keeps your ledger accurate, complete, and reviewable at all times.

Continuous Close

Your close shouldn't be a project

Legacy ERPs batch your transactions and process them at month-end. Rillet processes everything
the moment it arrives. Here's what that changes.

Who it's for

From fire drills to forward looking

Continuous close changes the job for every role in the finance org. Not just faster. Fundamentally different.

CFO / VP Finance

Answer board and business questions the same day they're asked. Run scenarios from an always-current foundation. Finance shapes decisions, not just reports on them.

Historian
Real-time advisor
FP&A

No more weeks of manual data assembly before planning begins. Forward-looking P&L available any time. Prepaid schedules, depreciation, contract revenue: already current.

Data assembler
Strategic analyst
Controller

Stop rebuilding the same data every month. The system processes continuously so you review, validate, and exercise judgment on clean, current numbers every day. Books are always audit-ready, and you stay in control.

What happens when your team gets the time back?

The close getting faster is the starting point. What matters is what your team does next.

"Rillet has been a total game changer for us. Their automations for revenue recognition, prepaid amortization, and cash reconciliation have shaved at least two days off our month-end close. I genuinely can’t imagine using any other accounting software again."

What continuous close looks like in practice

One bill. Every downstream process. Instantly.

Here's just one example. When a bill syncs from Ramp, Rillet does all of this in the same moment. The same real-time processing applies across revenue recognition, fixed assets, intercompany, FX, and more.

1.
Record + Allocate

The AP bill is recorded, department allocations are created, and journal entries post. All at once.

2.
Amortize + Accrue

Prepaid schedules are generated. Accruals are proposed. AI scans for missed prepaids across your ledger.

3.
Reconcile + Flag

Reconciliations update in real time. Review control agents flag unusual items immediately. Flux analysis reflects the new data.

FAQs

What is continuous close, exactly?

An accounting model where the ledger is accurate, complete, and reviewable at all times. Transactions are fully processed the moment they arrive. Month-end becomes a confirmation, not a scramble.

Doesn't this break internal controls?

The opposite. Controls move upstream. They're enforced at transaction entry, not detected at month-end. Unusual journal entries are flagged the moment they're created. This is stronger SOX compliance, not weaker.

Can I add continuous close to my existing ERP?

No. It requires a fundamentally different ledger architecture. Legacy ERPs are built on batch processing. You can't bolt real-time processing onto a sequential system. Rillet was designed from the ground up for this.

Does AI post all my journal entries?

No. Your team still reviews, approves, and exercises judgment. AI makes posting faster and more accurate. The difference is your team works throughout the month on current data, not in a compressed sprint on stale data.

Will my auditors accept this approach?

Auditors care about accuracy, documentation, and reviewability. Every change in Rillet is versioned and timestamped. Every deletion is logged. The audit trail builds as transactions happen, not after.
