Next generation firms run at AI speed.

AI Close is the first agent builder and general ledger in a single solution, under your control.

Trusted by forward-thinking accounting firms.

Accountants are the architects. AI is the engine.

The risk is not that AI is replacing accountants.
The risk is speed without accuracy.
The risk is automation without accountability.
It is a liability with a dashboard.

Remove the accountant from the loop and the work does not disappear.
The judgment does.
That judgment is not overhead.
It is the job.

Meet AI Close. 

AI Close changes what it means to run an accounting firm.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 1

Describe your workflow in plain language.

Create a close checklist, specify rules, approvals, required documents, and exception handling.

Run the bank reconciliation for last month.  If it reconciles, mark as complete. If not, please tell me the difference and recommend next steps.
Step 2

AI Close converts it into explicit, runnable steps. Same inputs, same outputs, every time.

Convert natural language into explicit, runnable steps. Surface missing inputs. Standardize logic.

Function logic:
→ Identify correct bank account
→ Check opening balance
→ identify all money-in transactions
→ identify all money out transactions...
Step 3

You approve. The agent executes. Full audit trail attached.

Run, review, schedule, ignore.
It’s up to you.

Based upon your logic, I have drafted the following journal entries. If they look correct, type “yes” and I will post them to the GL.

What is AI Close?

AI Close is the first agent builder built directly into the Puzzle General Ledger. It is designed specifically for accounting firms to automate the month-end close workflow by creating custom AI agents. These agents execute tasks according to your firm’s specific rules and processes. You describe the task, and the agent drafts the work for your review.

How do I build an agent? Do I need to know how to code?

No coding is required. You build an agent by using natural language. Just describe the task as you would explain it to someone on your team. You define the workflow, the rules, the thresholds for review, and the approval process. AI Close converts your instructions into a custom agent that drafts the work for your review and approval.

What kind of tasks can AI Close automate?

AI Close is designed to handle standard month-end close steps. Examples of pre-built templates include: Bank Reconciliation, Reconciling Amex/Citibank cards, Reviewing Accruals, Uncategorized Transaction Review, and Variance Checks. You can also create custom agents to fit your firm’s unique workflows.
