Product / accruals and prepaids automation
Accruals and prepaids on a schedule you set once
Recurring accruals and prepaid amortisation are the definition of work that should run itself: the schedule was decided when the contract was signed. Yet every month someone reopens the schedule, computes the entries and posts them by hand.
How it is done by hand today
- Maintain a schedule of contracts, amounts and periods in a spreadsheet.
- Compute this period's accrual or release for each line.
- Post the entries and the reversals.
- Reconcile the prepaid and accrued balances to the schedule.
What the runbook does
- Reads the schedule from a table you own, or from the contracts themselves.
- Computes the period's entries and posts them as drafts on close day two.
- Reverses accruals next period automatically, with a named approver on anything above a threshold.
- Reconciles the balance sheet accounts to the schedule and flags drift.
What it costs you today
Hours per close on the schedule and the entries, plus the reconciliation at quarter end. Usually smaller than payouts or commissions, which is why it is often the second runbook, not the first. We quantify it free.
Questions we get
What about new contracts?
Add a line to the schedule, or let the agent read them from your contract folder.
Can we review before it posts?
Yes. Draft entries wait for approval; you choose the threshold for auto-posting.
How long until it is live?
Two to three weeks, since the logic is the schedule you already have.
