Every line, accounted for.

The loop
Observe. Match. Flag. Close.
Tessel works in a loop all month, not only at month-end. Each step leaves evidence behind for the person who approves it.
Bank, card and ledger lines arrive as they post. Tessel reads each one the moment it lands, not at month-end.
One-to-one, one-to-many and partial payments with fees. Every match carries the rule that made it, and anything above your threshold waits for a person.
Duplicates, missing receipts, unusual amounts and vendors it hasn’t seen before. Each flag comes with one reason, and the line waits for a person.
The checklist fills itself in as the work gets done, and waits for the people who own each task to sign off.

Modules
Four modules, one ledger.
Each module is a view of the same ledger, so a match, a flag and a sign-off always point at the same line.

Changelog
Shipped lately.
Partial payments with fees
Tessel now pairs a bank line with an invoice when the gap is a known processor fee, and books the fee to its own account.
First-time vendor holds
Payments to a vendor Tessel hasn’t seen before wait for approval, whatever the amount.
Flux against last month
Every balance sheet account shows its movement against last month, with the lines that explain it.
