Can our controllers still approve before anything posts?

Yes. Approval gates are built in; nothing that needs sign-off runs without it.

What does it actually automate?

The repetitive, rules-based work — checklist orchestration, recurring journal entries, reconciliations, and evidence collection — while leaving judgment calls to your team.

How does it help with audits?

Every step is logged and reversible, so audit support is a by-product of the close rather than a separate project.

How long does it take to implement?

Around two weeks from assessment to deployment for a typical close workflow.

Solution · Month-End Close

Automate your month-end close, keep the audit trail

Turn your close checklist into deterministic workflows — reconciliations, journal entries, and approvals that run the same way every period, with a complete record of who did what and when.

The Reality

The close bottleneck

Every close is the same scramble in a different month: a checklist living in a spreadsheet, owners chased over Slack, recurring journal entries re-keyed by hand, reconciliations left to the last day, and no real-time view of where things stand. The work is repetitive and rules-based — which is exactly why it shouldn’t depend on people remembering to do it.

How It Works

Your close checklist, as code

Loopfour turns your close into a deterministic workflow: tasks, dependencies, and owners defined once and executed the same way every period. Nothing runs out of order, nothing gets skipped, and everyone can see what’s done and what’s blocking — without a status meeting.

Reconciliations & Journal Entries

Reconciliations and journal entries that run themselves

Recurring accruals, allocations, and intercompany entries post under the rules you set. Account reconciliations run automatically and only surface what actually needs a human — so your team spends the close reviewing exceptions, not rebuilding schedules.

Approvals

Exceptions and approvals, with a human in the loop

Where judgment is required, Loopfour stops and asks. Approval gates route the right entries to the right reviewer with full context, so control stays with your controllers while the mechanical work automates around them.

Audit Trail

Audit evidence, generated as you close

Every entry, reconciliation, and approval is logged, versioned, and reversible as it happens. When the auditors come, the support already exists — you’re handing over evidence, not reconstructing it. See how governance works.

No — it orchestrates the workflow on top of them. Your ERP remains the system of record.
