AI-Native Finance
Most finance teams run four tools — accounting, close, reporting, FP&A — held together by spreadsheets. BeanStack consolidates the stack into one AI-native ledger.
QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite. The ledger of record — but the team still keys most transactions and spends month-end stitching everything together.
FloQast, BlackLine. Workflow checklists wrapped around the same manual reconciliation. The close still takes 8–12 days.
Excel, Tableau, Power BI. Static exports from the ledger, manually assembled, weeks late.
Adaptive, Pigment, Anaplan. A separate model that drifts out of sync with the actual ledger between quarterly refreshes.
Full double-entry GL with automated journal entries and period-close management.
User-definable journal entry automation. Configure posting logic through the UI — no SuiteScript, no partner.
Subsidiaries as linked organization records. Schedule-level consolidation with reporting-entity filters across the whole ledger.
ASC 606 compliant without a consultant. Contracts read, schedules built, monthly entries posted automatically.
GAAP lease commencement and amortization. ASC 842 operating and finance leases handled alongside everything else.
Three-dimensional budgets with variance analysis. Budget-vs-actual referencing your live ledger, not a stale model.
Multi-currency transactions with automatic FX gain/loss posting at spot rate. No manual journal adjustments at period end.
Source document, AI reasoning, confidence, and approver logged on every decision. Auditors get evidence, not reconstruction.
Finance-native chat that reads across the ledger. Draft a journal entry, summarize an account, propose a reclassification.

For mid-market companies running on QuickBooks or NetSuite for AP, AR, GL, close, reporting, and FP&A — yes. BeanStack consolidates that whole stack into one AI-native ledger. For adjacent domains (inventory, manufacturing, HCM), BeanStack pairs with best-in-class specialist tools and operates as the financial source of truth.
Your books are yours. Third-party AI providers we use are contractually prohibited from training on your data or retaining it after processing. Full security and data handling details on the security page.
Most teams move from 8–12 day closes to 1–2 day closes within 90 days of going live. Continuous reconciliation and AI-driven matching mean the books are mostly closed by month-end — close becomes a review, not a reconstruction.
We'll map your current tools and workflows and show you the BeanStack equivalent — accounting, close, reporting, FP&A — running on one ledger.
