The close, before and after

Halden Group runs four entities on NetSuite with a finance team of seven. Before Sieve, October closed on BD9 and the tie-out lived in one spreadsheet that only one person understood.

Sieve agents now pull the bank feeds overnight, pair 3,418 lines by BD1 and draft the 38 accruals with the usage reports attached. Maya Chen reviews what is left on BD3 and signs.

The agent that prepares an entry never approves it. Every entry reaches the ledger with its evidence and the name of the person who signed it.

On record

I used to spend BD3 hunting for the problem. Now I spend it signing.
