One queue for everything that needs a person.

A proposed accrual, an invoice that does not match, a contract amendment, a hiring decision. Different work from across the financial lifecycle, in one place, with an owner, a due date and the policy that applies. Each item opens the tool that job needs.

What each kind of work opens

Contract amendmentOriginal schedule, proposed adjustment and combined waterfall, side by side
Hiring budget decisionThe approved positions and the draft scenarios for each option
Every item carries an owner, a due date, the policy that applies, its status and its financial impact.
Specialised tools

Not every task is a form.

An invoice exception needs the purchase order, the receipt and the invoice side by side. A proposed entry needs debits, credits, the calculation and the evidence. A contract amendment needs three schedules. Work routes each item to the workspace built for it, and the queue stays one list.

  • Ownership, due dates, status and financial impact on every item
  • The policy that applies is shown, not assumed
  • Comments, attachments and history stay with the item
Human authority

Sebastian drafts. People decide. The record shows both.

Routine processing runs under policies the company has authorised. Material judgements, exceptions and protected decisions wait for the right approver. A proposed entry is never shown as posted until the ERP confirms it, and the approval history is part of the workpaper.

  • Thresholds and approvers per policy, per entity
  • Every proposal keeps its original version, the revision, and who changed what
  • The ERP remains the authoritative accounting system

What changes

What stops happening

P / 1

Approvals scattered across email, Slack and the ERP

One queue, one record of who approved what, linked to the signal or the line that created the work.

P / 2

Preparing the accrual by hand

Sebastian drafts it from usage records and posted lines, with the calculation attached. The controller verifies and approves.

P / 3

A generic task list that forgets the numbers

Every item carries its financial impact, and finishing it updates the outlook or the ledger it belongs to.
