Project idea
AI-Driven Close Acceleration
Compress your monthly close from 12 days to 5.
The SMB problem
Your monthly close drags into the second week. The senior accountants who should be advising the business are stuck preparing journals and reconciling. You have no real-time view of cash and margin.
What the consultant fraction-ao places does
fraction-ao places a consultant who maps the close calendar, identifies the 3 to 5 critical-path bottlenecks, and deploys AI orchestration: continuous reconciliation, intelligent journal automation, intercompany elimination logic, and real-time variance flagging.
What PA&A does
PA&A runs the close every month, signs the financial statements, and ensures every close package is audit-ready.
Proof points from real-world deployments
Unilever ran the global close from 12 days to 5 days using close orchestration. SMBs typically go 10 days to 4 days with the right talent to deliver the right outcomes on the project. Deloitte's 2024 AI in Accounting Report shows 20-40% close acceleration is the median outcome.
