Traceable to reviewed entries

Close remains subject to review

What still prevents this period from being closed?

Accounting integrity erodes when classification, approvals, posting, reports, reconciliation, and close evidence are disconnected or editable after the fact.

Close readiness
An assessment of required evidence and checks before a controlled period transition; not an audit opinion.
What it works with
Revisioned close work, period state, reconciliation and readiness evidence, with reviewer permissions.
What you get
A controlled review sequence that surfaces blockers rather than treating completed checkboxes as proof.

How the work progresses

Who uses it

Accounting preparers, finance reviewers and controllers who need to trace a balance to its evidence.

  1. Inspect the period's current close revision and readiness checks.
  2. Resolve supported blockers and retain the required review evidence.
  3. Apply reviewer separation and the authorized period transition; checklist completion alone is not authority.

A concrete example

Illustrative, not customer data.

What still prevents this period from being closed?

An unresolved reconciliation remains a blocker for review. A person ticking a task does not override the underlying readiness result.

What still needs judgment

Correct setup and qualified review remain the customer's responsibility. OwnCents is not an accountant, auditor, tax adviser, or statutory filing service.

AI may suggest or explain accounting work, but cannot approve, post, close, alter posted entries, override classifications, or create balancing plugs.

Available workflows depend on your plan, permission scope, configuration and supported data. Compare plans before choosing.

Before you use financial close

Can I explore this before connecting company data?
The public demo is a fixed, read-only sample company. It illustrates supported product areas without creating an account or accessing customer data; it is not proof that every configured workflow is available in the tour.
What should I verify before relying on an output?
Confirm scope, source coverage and timing. For this capability, review revisioned close work, period state, reconciliation and readiness evidence, with reviewer permissions. An operating status or AI explanation does not replace the required review of accounting evidence.
Does an explanation automatically authorize a financial action?
No. AI may suggest or explain accounting work, but cannot approve, post, close, alter posted entries, override classifications, or create balancing plugs.
