Cutting Month-End Close from 20+ Days Down to 7

Challenge

This fast-growing B2B SaaS startup was working with AirCFO to manage their accounting and finance functions. While AirCFO had a structured and repeatable approach, the process was slow, unresponsive, and missing key financial tasks. Their month-end close was never earlier than the 20th of the month—sometimes even later. The startup needed faster, more reliable financial data to make informed decisions, control cash flow, and report to investors on time.

Solution

When Prism Edge took over in January, we restructured the month-end close process to make it faster, more accurate, and more responsive.

• Accelerated reconciliations & close timelineEliminated bottlenecks and reduced manual delays
• Standardized processes & eliminated inefficienciesEnsured financials were complete and accurate
• Increased accuracy & financial oversightFixed missing financial tasks and improved reporting

Impact

Within just two month-end closes, we cut the close time from 20+ days to just 7 days—a 65% improvement.

• Leadership now has real-time financialsNo more guessing or relying on outdated reports
• Cash flow is monitored in real timeFounders have an accurate picture of runway and expenses
• Investor & board reporting is fasterGiving stakeholders the confidence they need to support growth
