Month-end close software for finance teams

Close the month. Prove every number.

One number that doesn’t tie makes every number suspect. Huxley shuts that door.

What Huxley does

Four things, done properly.

A close that ties

Three statements reconciled, every task and sign-off tracked, and gaps flagged while there is still time to fix them.

Variances explained

Every material movement carries a written, reviewed reason. Ready for the owner, the lender, and the auditor.

A reviewer built in

Coaches at every step challenge the journals, forecasts and commentary the way an auditor would, before anyone outside sees them.

A board pack from one source

Built from the close it reports on, so it cannot contradict itself. The verdict up front, every figure a click from its source.

A feel for the close

The close, in one film.

Works with any ERP or spreadsheet. If you can export it, Huxley reads it.

How it works

From trial balance to board pack.

Bring your numbers

Export the trial balance from any ERP or spreadsheet. Huxley reads it and ties the three statements.

Close with the checks on

Reconciliations, variance thresholds, and reviewer challenges run while you work. Every exception gets an owner and a sign-off.

Deliver the pack

The board pack and audit binder build from the same reconciled close, in one click. Month, quarter, or year to date.

The coaches

A seasoned reviewer, built in.

At every step, from the journal entries to the sign-off itself, Huxley asks the questions a careful reviewer asks first, each with the figure behind it and ending in the fix. Nothing reaches the board that your team has not already been challenged on.

You sign after everyone reporting to you has signed: waiting on Marco.
Watch: a coach steps in while the work happens, not after.
Challenged before sign-off
Journals, variances, forecasts and covenants each get a reviewer’s questions, ranked by what is material.
A coach that teaches
Each challenge shows its reasoning, so the team learns a reviewer’s eye close by close.
Knowledge that stays
Every question and answer lives on the record, not in one person’s head. A new hire inherits the thinking, not just the files.

Try it

One close. Two audiences.

A CFO reads columns. An owner needs a verdict. Flip the seat below; the reconciled numbers underneath never change.

Same reconciled numbers underneath. Flip the seat, not the truth.
AI drafts the words. It never decides a number.

It flags what needs a second look and proposes language; a named person approves everything, and every decision is logged for audit. Your data never trains a model. How the boundary works →

FAQ

The questions everyone asks first.

Who is it for?

Finance teams under real scrutiny: an audit every year, a board every month, a lender watching covenants. Any size, single entity or part of a group. Your ERP stays the system of record; import a trial balance and the first close is underway.

Does this replace my CFO, controller, or auditor?

No, it equips them. The work and the sign-offs stay with your team; Huxley makes them documented and defensible.

What do I need to get started?

An export. Any ERP, any spreadsheet, a plain CSV. There is no integration project to run first.

Whose data is it, and where does it live?

Yours. Every number traces to your own source, it never trains a model, and you can export the full record whenever you want.

How is this different from our reporting today?

Your reports describe the month. Huxley also proves it and coaches it: every figure ties to a reconciled account, a written reason, and a named sign-off, and a built-in reviewer challenges the close before anyone outside sees it, so the team gets sharper every month.

Does this make our data ready for AI?

Yes, as a byproduct. AI on messy books is guesswork. A disciplined close leaves structured, reconciled, explained data behind it, and that foundation is what makes the next AI tool you adopt actually useful.
