Close · part of Procure to Close
Close the month with nothing left to find.
Vakari runs your close calendar, prepares journal entries and accruals from the record you already approved, and posts them to your ERP. Month-end becomes confirmation, not discovery.

Why we built Close this way
“We bought BlackLine and FloQast. We were still reconciling.”
We had the best close tools money could buy: a checklist for every task and software to match every account.
And my team was still reconciling, because of a human error upstream. Why didn't the system catch it, so there was nothing to reconcile?
The entry is prepared from the same record as the PO, the contract and the invoice. The error is stopped where it starts.

What Close does
Prepared from the record. Confirmed by your team.
Journal entries
Prepared from approved POs, posted invoices and cleared payments, validated before anything posts, then posted to your ERP.
Accruals
Drafted from open POs and contract terms (price increases, volume tiers, prepaid schedules), each traced to its source.
Reconciliation and flux Next
Where Vakari prepares the entry, the PO, invoice and entry are one record, so there's little left to reconcile. Payroll, bank, tax and other accounts still post from outside Vakari, and your close has to cover every account. Reconciliation and flux are next, so Vakari can complete the close end to end.
Close Tasks, free
The checklist is free. You pay only for the work Vakari completes.
Start with Close Tasks at no cost. Connected Close is priced on consumption: you pay for each entry Vakari prepares and posts, never for seats. If we don't create value, you don't pay for it.

Close FAQ
Questions about Close
Is Close Tasks really free?
Yes. The close calendar, tasks, owners, dependencies and sign-off are free, with no seat fees. You pay only when you connect your ERP and Vakari prepares and posts entries for you.
What do I pay for with Connected Close?
Connected Close is priced on consumption: you pay per automated entry, meaning each journal entry or accrual Vakari prepares from the record and posts to your ERP after your team approves it. Never per seat. If Vakari doesn’t do the work, you don’t pay for it.
Does Vakari reconcile every account?
Not yet. Where Vakari prepares the entry, the PO, invoice and entry are one record, so there’s little left to reconcile. Payroll, bank, tax and other accounts still post from outside Vakari, and your close has to cover every account. Reconciliation and flux are next, so Vakari can complete the close end to end.
Which ERPs does Close work with?
The one you already run. Vakari reads from and posts to your ERP; it doesn’t replace it. Connectors are live for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, NetSuite and SAP (ECC and S/4HANA), and we build new integrations with our customers. Tell us what you run.
Does Vakari post anything on its own?
No. AI proposes; your team confirms. Every entry arrives with its source attached (the PO, the receipt, the contract clause) and nothing posts until an approver confirms it.
How is Close different from BlackLine or FloQast?
Those tools help you manage and reconcile the close after the fact. Vakari prepares the entries from the same record as the PO, the contract and the invoice, so errors are stopped where they start, and the checklist itself is free.
Stop waiting for month-end to find out.
Invoices checked when they arrive, accruals drafted when the goods are received, renewals flagged before they lock in. The close becomes a confirmation.
