Cost-to-Close Calculator
Three inputs. Instant result. Estimate what month-end close, reconciliation, and approval follow-up cost your finance team each year.
HOW THIS ESTIMATE WORKS: team size × hours per person × hourly cost, multiplied by 12 for annual labor cost. The 70% reduction is an illustrative scenario, not a forecast or guaranteed result. It excludes implementation, software and maintenance costs. Released hours are capacity, not cash savings unless spending falls. Labor hours cannot establish elapsed days to close; approvals, dependencies and waiting time also affect the calendar.

Book Scoping CallClose cost is one signal, not the whole automation case.
Use the broader finance automation model to connect month-end close work with invoice exceptions, approval evidence, payment controls, and accounting-system handoffs.
Where this fits
This calculator is a first-pass model. In a control sprint, we replace broad estimates with your actual close steps, exception queues, approval checks, and evidence requirements before recommending what should be automated or left alone.
