Capabilities · Period close
A period close that stays ready all month
Rever is financial close software for record to report: Close Orchestrator keeps tasks, reconciliations, schedules and sign-offs moving throughout the month. Journal prepares accruals, provisions and reversals with their support, Flux Analyst explains material movements, and Evidence keeps the workpapers. Sign-off waits for you, with completed work, remaining exceptions and blockers visible.
Never writes to your systems · Zero-day scan · 100% coverage · Your team keeps the final say
01Where the work breaks
Why the close still crowds the last week
Close packs reconciliations, verifications and judgment calls into the last few days, so coverage gives way to deadlines.
- 01
Reconciliations that could have cleared all month land on day one, so the close starts behind
- 02
The checklist is a spreadsheet whose real status is whatever the last person remembered
- 03
Accruals are rebuilt from scratch each period because last period's support is scattered
- 04
Flux is explained from memory, without the transactions that would settle the question
02How Rever works
How Rever runs period close, from record to report
Connect, build context and unlock value, then verify the outcome. The same shape as every Rever procedure.
- Step 01
Connect your systems
Link your ERP, banks, subledgers and documents. Rever reads through their APIs and works on its own copy. Nothing in your systems changes.
- Step 02
Run the zero-day scan
Eve maps the close calendar, owners and dependencies, then the zero-day scan reconciles the period and surfaces the open differences.
- Step 03
Agents work continuously
Close Orchestrator keeps tasks and sign-offs moving as work completes. Journal prepares accruals and provisions as their support arrives; Flux Analyst explains movements as they happen.
- Step 04
Approve from one Inbox
Entries and sign-offs arrive supported. Approved entries come back as an import file your team loads, and readiness and blockers stay visible until the period is closed. The outcome is verified against the source before it counts.
Illustrative data03What your team gets
Evidence you can follow. Decisions you keep.
A checklist that reflects real status
Close Orchestrator tracks dependencies and unresolved differences across tasks, reconciliations, schedules and sign-offs, so readiness and blockers are visible all month.
Accruals and provisions prepared with support
Journal prepares supported journals, accruals, provisions and reversals, hands the approved ones back as a file your team loads and checks the resulting records.
Flux explained to the transaction
Flux Analyst connects movements in revenue, costs, margins and balances to the transactions and operational drivers behind them, and separates supported explanations from issues that need investigation.
Evidence kept with the close
Evidence keeps the records, calculations and source references connected to every workpaper, ready to review in Rever or download in Excel.

06FAQ
Questions about period close
What does period close automation mean with Rever?
The close work runs all month rather than in the last few days: reconciliations clear as transactions land, accruals and provisions are prepared as their support arrives, flux is explained as movements happen, and Close Orchestrator keeps tasks and sign-offs moving. What is left at period end is your team's judgment.
How does Rever shorten the close?
By moving the work off the deadline. Reconciliations, verifications and preparation happen continuously with 100% coverage of in-scope transactions, so day one starts with the evidence attached, the remaining exceptions listed and your sign-off left.
Can Rever post journals?
No. Journal prepares them and, once your team approves, hands them back as an import file your team loads, a .qbo file for QuickBooks today. Journal then checks the resulting records. Your authority and approval process govern every posting.
Will Rever change our source data?
No. Rever reads your ERP, bank and payment records through their APIs, keeps a working copy inside Rever (the shadow ledger) and does every check, reconciliation and calculation there, during the zero-day scan and after it. Your ERP stays the system of record.
What does a free Proof of Value show?
You connect your systems and Rever works on a limited period of your data, so you can see how it works on your own records before signing up. We walk through what was checked, the supported findings and their financial significance, and the actions required to pursue value.
What does 100% coverage mean?
Every in-scope transaction in the connected population is included in the relevant checks. Missing sources, documents and blocked procedures remain visible.
