There is a meaningful difference between software that helps you run a slow close and software that makes the close fast. The first gives you a better checklist. The second does the reconciliation.

ChatFin is the second kind. Here is what closing in about four days actually looks like on top of your ERP.

It runs on your ERP, not instead of it

The first thing that matters is what you do not have to do: migrate. ChatFin connects to NetSuite, SAP, Acumatica, JD Edwards, Dynamics 365, Sage Intacct and more, and operates on top of them. For a finance leader, that means the close gets faster without an ERP replacement program attached, and the system of record stays exactly where it is.

What ChatFin does across the four days

The four-day close is the output of continuous work, not a four-day sprint. Through the period and into close, ChatFin runs the mechanical load end to end.

Reconcile continuously. Bank, subledger and intercompany matching runs all month, reaching 85 to 95% auto-match, so little is left to tie out at period-end.
Review every entry. 100% of journal entries are screened for anomalies, versus a 5-to-10% manual sample, so surprises surface early.
Propose accruals. Accruals are drafted from historical patterns, cutting manual estimation time by roughly 50 to 70%.
Assemble the board pack. Actuals are pulled, compared to budget and prior periods, and formatted, so the team reviews rather than rebuilds.

From eight days to four

The arithmetic is straightforward. Benchmarks put the average close at 6 to 8 business days and AI-driven compression at roughly 40 to 55%. Applied to a typical mid-market close, that lands around four days, with top-quartile teams pushing toward three. The gain is not from working faster on the last day; it is from having already done most of the work.

Close software should not just help you survive the close. It should do the close, so four days is the finish, not the sprint.

Reconcile and Close in About Four Days, on Your Own ERP

ChatFin reconciles continuously, reviews every entry, proposes accruals, and assembles the board pack on top of the ERP you already run, so your team reviews and signs rather than building the close from scratch.

You do not need to migrate to close faster. You need software that does the close where your data already lives. Book a demo to see a four-day close on your stack.
