How it works
AI proposes. The engine calculates. You confirm before a number
is official. Ask is a working file beside the pack.
Upload — Land the file you already close.
Confirm categories — Butler proposes how accounts were categorized. You confirm.
Home — This month versus the plan, and what needs you.
Plan · Forecast · Review — Keep the approved version. Draft the next one. Compare with lineage.
Share — Send a pack only after you confirm. ELT flash and board book ship today; other audiences are templates on the same month.
Reads your close
Three desks light when a named source lands
Planning, Reporting, Controls, and IR are on from the first file.
These three open on the same close once their source is on file.
Treasury
See which week cash breaks — from a weekly file, not last month's net income.
Lights when: A weekly cash file or a bank credential.
Workforce
One funded headcount number finance and the business can share.
Lights when: A roster or HRIS credential.
Revenue
Booked and billed from the billing source. ARR is acknowledged, not invented from the P&L.
Lights when: A billing credential or invoice export.
Butler reads, calculates, and drafts. It is not the general ledger, does not run payroll, and does not move cash; posting, paying, and filing wait for licensed rails and a per-rail decision. Accounting, spend, tax, and strategic desks are held as options and light for a named design partner.
