For PE-backed roll-ups and the firms a fund owns
Answers for the sponsor, on time. AI does the work across every firm you bought. A person you name says yes.
We build the part under the AI: the controls, the records, and the links to each firm’s books. Your team puts AI to work on real finance tasks — one close across the firms you bought first. AI drafts, code checks, and a person you name says yes. You keep the code.
Free, 20 minutes. For accounting and CAS firm owners. No access or install.
Five to thirty firms. AI on the real work. A name on each number.
In a roll-up, you close the books for five to thirty firms. Each one came with its own chart of accounts, its own close, and its own late nights. The sponsor asks on a schedule. Loan terms get tested whether or not the reports are ready. Diligence lands with two weeks’ notice. And the audit committee now asks what the AI touched, and who said yes.
We build the part that makes that safe for all of them. Then we build the first workflow with you: one close across every firm you bought.
Where we startThe sponsor wants AI in each firm you bought. In a roll-up of five to thirty firms, the first thing we build is consolidation.
The close comes first. One, across every firm.
The first workflow we build with you. Each firm closes the same way. One list. One lock. One view.
The sponsor’s questions, on time.
A close dashboard, locked each month. Loan terms checked between report dates. Cash, thirteen weeks out.
New firms brought on the same way.
The next firm you buy is set up from its own books. In days, not a quarter. With an evidence file ready for diligence.
You keep the code.
What we build is yours. Move it, change it, or leave us. It still runs.
Seven jobs it does for you.
Each one runs a real workflow, in the order it runs. Every step that reaches the books stops at a person you name.
Only what you needModules you do not need are switched off. They are not shipped as clutter.
-
A close dashboard
A checklist for each period, with due dates and what depends on what. Each task has a named preparer. The list checks itself against the live books. When the period closes, it locks.
The close stops being a workbook one person carries. It becomes a process you can see.
-
Loan terms, checked between report dates
Your loan terms, the covenants, are set as a formula over your own chart of accounts. The books are checked against them between report dates. Each one shows pass, warn or breach. A standard senior-loan template is the starting point, not a guess.
You see headroom shrink in week two. Not when the lender’s report is due.
-
Thirteen weeks of cash
Open bills and invoices are placed into weekly columns. Each firm’s own pay and collect habits set where they land. Payroll and rent follow a pattern. Where you know something the books do not, you change a cell, and it is saved.
The weekly cash question comes from the books. No one rebuilds it each Monday.
-
The forecast and the LBO model
Forecast models that start from the real books. The drivers come from the last twelve months of actuals. Add scenarios, each layer of debt, and the exit returns.
The sponsor’s model and the books start from the same numbers. Not two sets.
-
Bringing a new firm on
When you buy a firm, its accounts, its calendar and its setup are planned from its own books. You review the plan. Then it is applied. No one sets it up by hand from the last one.
The next firm you buy comes on the same way as the last. In days, not a quarter.
-
The PBC list and the evidence file
Audit and diligence requests are tracked as lines. Each line has its evidence bound to it. Ask for the binder and it is put together on demand.
The PBC list is no longer an email thread. Forty files, and a spreadsheet no one owns.
-
All open work, in one view
Done, left to do, blocked, and who owns it. One view, without copying a single source row. From it, a handoff pack is built. It carries the blockers, the missing evidence, stale conclusions and the decisions still owed.
Someone quits, takes a week off, or a stand-in controller steps in. It is no longer a rebuild job.
What each one does in your close is set up in the build, against your books. Your firms, your calendar, your chart of accounts, your thresholds, and who approves.
AI drafts. Code checks. A person you name says yes.
One rule holds across every job above. The AI reads, sorts, drafts and proposes. Plain code does the sums and the checks. A person you name approves anything that reaches the books. Nothing posts on its own. There is no setting that turns that on.
Why this mattersIf you cannot show how a number was made, you end up defending it by hand. The proof is the product.
- Four levels of risk
- Every action gets a risk level. If it touches the books or a customer, a person must say yes first. If the system does not know an action, it treats it as the riskiest kind.
- Two people, two jobs
- The one who prepares is never the one who approves. You set who can approve what, per firm and per amount.
- Plain proposals
- Before, after, the source, the risk, who must approve, and when it expires. All on one screen.
- One record
- The prompt, the run, each step, the proposal, the yes or no, and the post. One chain. You can walk it backwards.
- A circuit breaker
- If a task starts to get things wrong, the system takes away that task’s freedom and tells you. It can only step down. It can never step itself up.
- Answers show their source
- Every answer says the period, the basis, the source, and when the data was synced. If it could not check a thing, it says so.
Case study: Project Falcon
We built this platform for a finance team inside a private equity portfolio. They ran their month-end on it, with real books and real deadlines. The case study shows what we built, the five rules that came first, and what we chose not to build. Four of the controls in section 03 were checked against the source code, not a slide deck.
A case study is not a promise for your group. We still look at your close, your controls and your baseline before a build starts.
Start free. Stop at any step.
Each rung stands on its own. Nothing commits you to the next one. You keep the code.
On priceThe Sprint and the Bootcamp have set prices. The build and the run are quoted for each firm.

The build
Four weeks · quoted for your firm
One month-end close that runs for every firm in scope. We move the first ones onto it. Week one is the check-up: read-only access, a map of what does not match, and the plan. You are buying an asset for your firm. The system we build for you is yours on payment in full.
AI and hosting are running costs. Any support you choose is separate from the asset purchase.

Running it
Optional · monthly · two plans · quoted for your firm
Base. We run the software for you. It runs in your own cloud account. We manage who can sign in, on your say. We look after your APIs, the links to your AI and your other tools. We can get in and fix them. We do not control them. The accounts stay in your name, and you pay for them.
Plus. Everything in Base. And 20 hours a month to build new features you ask for.
A separate service you can choose. Stopping it does not take away the system you own.
Or try the free tool first. It does not ask for your email.
The Evidence Test. Seven controls the 2026 rules expect. It shows you the ones you cannot prove yet, in the order to fix them. Four minutes, in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Own an accounting or CAS firm? Start with one close.
