FAQ
What close tasks can Accounting Agents prepare?
Accounting Agents prepare 35 month-end close tasks across the balance sheet, P&L, equity, and process and controls. They range from bank reconciliation and cash application to lease schedules, flux analysis, stock-based compensation, and multi-entity consolidation support, each one inside your close checklist.
Do Accounting Agents post journal entries on their own?
No. An Accounting Agent drafts each entry with its working paper and source data attached, and it posts to your ERP only after your team approves it. Every step is logged in the audit trail.
How does an Accounting Agent learn how my team does a task?
Your team shows Ledge how the task is done today: the sources, the spreadsheet, the logic, and the entry. The Accounting Agent runs that logic as deterministic code every period, pulls data from your ERP and 150+ integrations, and learns from your corrections.
