Board-ready the day you close.
The statements assemble themselves off your live ledger — with the variance written and every number drillable to the entry behind it.
Three statements, built from the books.
The income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow assemble straight off your live trial balance — no exporting, no pivot tables, no a-version-and-a-final. When the ledger moves, the statements move with it, and every figure still ties out to the penny.
Every figure drills to the entry.
A board member asks why opex jumped. You don't go spelunking — every number on the report opens to the journal entries, the source documents, and the policy behind it. The answer is one click deep, with the evidence already attached.
$180k of the increase is annual D&O insurance booked in May and amortized over 12 months; the rest is two new engineering hires. Each piece links to the bill, the policy, and the journal entry.
The flux commentary, drafted.
Aleq writes the month-over-month variance analysis the way your controller would — what changed, by how much, and why — in plain language with the drivers cited. You review and adjust the wording; you don't assemble it from scratch the night before the board meeting.
It learns your board package.
The reports you send every month, in the same shape, Aleq assembles on its own once the format is proven — the deck is built and waiting the morning after close. A new schedule or a one-off investor cut is a judgment call, so it drafts and stops for your sign-off.
What finance leads ask first.
Where do the numbers come from?
Straight off your live trial balance — the same books Aleq reconciles and closes. The statements aren't a separate model that drifts; they're a view of the ledger, so they update as the books do and always tie out to the entry.
Can I drill from a report into the detail?
Yes — every figure on every statement opens to the journal entries, source documents, and policy behind it. When someone asks why a line moved, the answer is one click deep with the evidence attached, not a half-day of investigation.
Does it write the variance commentary?
It drafts it. Aleq writes the month-over-month flux the way your controller would — what changed, how much, and why, with the drivers cited to the ledger. You review and adjust the wording; you don't build it from a blank page.
Will it match our existing board deck?
It learns your format. Once a report has been assembled the same way a few times, Aleq builds it on its own and has it waiting after close. A new cut or a one-off schedule is drafted and held for your sign-off before it goes out.
How does this connect to the close?
The reports are the close's output. As the month seals, the statements and the board pack assemble in step — so reporting isn't a separate week of work after the books are done. See the continuous close.
Send the board pack the day you close.
Connect read-only and watch Aleq assemble your statements, write the flux, and tie every number to the entry behind it — the report ready the morning after close.
