Controls and audit trail at scale.
You have a finance team and a process. What you do not have is time. Stratum agents take the transactional work across entities, enforce the controls you already wrote, and leave a complete audit trail your auditors will actually like.

Where the month goes wrong.
What we hear most often from 50 to 500 people, before an agent is on the ledger.
The team is senior and doing junior work
Controllers match transactions. FP&A rebuilds the forecast. The people you hired for judgment spend their days on throughput.
Controls exist on paper
Approval matrices, spend policies, and segregation of duties are documented. Enforcement depends on whoever is looking.
Multi-entity is multiplied pain
Three entities, two currencies, one close. Every reconciliation and every filing happens three times.
What the first thirty days look like.
Connect on day one. By day thirty, the agents are doing the daily work and you are approving what matters. This is the shape of it.
- Day 1
Map the controls
Your approval matrix and spend policy become rules the agents enforce. The controller confirms the interpretation once.
- Week 1
Payables routes itself
Every bill goes to the approver the matrix names, with context. The Payables Agent chases the approver, not the AP clerk.
- Week 2
Reconciliation runs continuously
Bank, card, and processor feeds match daily across entities. Intercompany items are flagged for elimination.
- Week 3
Spend review that actually reviews
The Spend Agent checks every card transaction against policy the day it lands, and asks the cardholder, not the controller.
- Day 30
A pack from locked numbers
The close locks by the 5th. The Reporting Agent drafts the management pack from the same ledger, every figure traceable.
What we would agree to measure.
Every engagement starts with an outcome written down. These are the numbers we typically put on the table for this segment. They are targets, not promises.
Every transaction
Policy enforcement
Not a quarterly sample.

Close time target
Across entities, consolidated.
4 agents, one judgment layer.
Each agent owns one job. They share what they learn about your customers, vendors and cadence, so the second agent is smarter on day one than the first was.
