We spoke with Double about what changes when more of the close—and the context behind the numbers—moves into one connected system.
For someone hearing about Double for the first time—what do you actually do, in plain English?
Double connects to the ERP and brings the work behind the financial close into one place. AI helps prepare reconciliations, recurring journal entries, and variance analysis, while accountants retain review and approval—giving teams a clearer view of what’s complete, what needs attention, and what changed.
What’s breaking (or slowing down) for finance teams today—and why is it becoming harder to ignore?
Closing the books is only part of the workload. Accountants may spend days matching transactions, rebuilding reconciliations, preparing recurring entries, and tracking down the status of work scattered across spreadsheets and conversations. Once the books are closed, another round of work often begins to explain what changed and why.
That model becomes difficult to sustain as reporting expectations rise and accounting teams remain lean. The challenge isn’t simply speed; it’s creating a close process where preparation, review, and the story behind the numbers are easier to see as the work is happening.
Who tends to get the most value from this—and where does it typically click fastest?
Lean accounting teams feel the tradeoff between preparation and analysis particularly clearly. At companies roughly between $5 million and $200 million in revenue, the Controller or senior accountant may still be personally responsible for everything from reconciliations and journal entries to final review.
For those teams, the opportunity is less about adding another layer of close management and more about removing preparation work from the calendar. CFOs, Controllers, accounting managers, and senior accountants can use the system to introduce more structure and visibility without creating a process that requires dedicated administrators to maintain.
If a finance team started using your approach tomorrow, where would they feel the impact first?
Reconciliations and recurring entries are natural places to start because the underlying work repeats month after month. Reconciliations can arrive with supporting workpapers and variance analysis already attached, while recurring items such as prepaids, depreciation, accruals, and deferrals can be regenerated from previously established logic and routed back to the ERP.
Then comes the question finance leaders inevitably ask after close: Why did the numbers move? Instead of rebuilding that explanation separately in Excel, teams can drill into the underlying customer and vendor activity and capture variance commentary alongside the numbers during the close itself.
How does this fit into the existing finance tech stack—and how does it hold up as the business grows?
At the center is a bidirectional connection with QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct, allowing accounting work to move between Double and the ERP rather than creating another disconnected process. Additional connectors and an MCP server can extend that environment to other applications teams use in their workflows.
Scaling, meanwhile, isn’t only about processing more transactions. A two-person accounting team can become six; one entity can become several; and relatively simple schedules can evolve into more complex asset, debt, revenue, and prepaid accounting. Roles, permissions, assignments, review notes, and sign-offs help add structure as that happens, while automation is intended to absorb more of the recurring preparation work.
