One loop, four modules.
Observe, match, flag, close. Tessel runs the loop on every line of every account, and leaves the evidence for each step where your team can read it.

AReconcile
Every line, paired with its entry.
Tessel reads the bank and card feeds as they land and pairs each line with the ledger entry it belongs to. It handles the awkward ones too: one payment against three invoices, a transfer split across two days, a fee taken off the top.
- 01One-to-one, one-to-many and partial matches
- 02Fees and FX differences booked to their own accounts
- 03Every match names the rule that made it

BFlag
One reason, and the evidence.
Some lines shouldn’t be matched. Tessel holds them and says why in one sentence, with the documents that made it suspicious attached.
- 01Duplicates, missing receipts, unusual amounts, new vendors
- 02One plain reason per flag, with the evidence attached
- 03Held lines never auto-match until a person decides

CClose
A checklist that fills itself in.
The month-end checklist updates as the work gets done. Tessel suggests accruals, explains movements against last month, and waits for the people who own each task to sign off.
- 01Accrual suggestions from open orders and recurring bills
- 02Flux against last month for every balance-sheet account
- 03Sign-offs by the people who own each task

Tessel proposes. You approve.
Set the thresholds once. Below them Tessel acts and logs why. Above them, every line waits for a person.

Security and audit
Read-only, by design.
Tessel reads. It never initiates a payment, never edits a bank record and never deletes a ledger entry.
Read-only bank access
Bank and card connections are read-only tokens. There is no permission to move money, so there is nothing to misuse.
Role permissions
Preparers, reviewers and controllers see and approve different things. Every role is set per entity.
The evidence log
Every action is written once and never edited: who, what, when, and the documents behind it.
Data residency
Each workspace lives in one region, EU or US, chosen when it is created.
