Journals behind a lock. A close that finishes.
Month-end entries - accruals, allocations, depreciation, grant releases - are drafted by the bot in a OneDrive workbook your reviewers can open in Excel, then imported into the journal queue. The queue sits behind an authoritative post-lock: nothing reaches the general ledger until a person posts it, and a posted period can be closed so nothing drifts afterward.
Illustrative client book: Hudson & Vale CPAs, LLP keeping the books of Harborlight Community Health Center, Inc. - a fictional nonprofit community health center. Fictional firm, client, and data.

book_je_drive_import → books_journal_queue_post · the queue can also be stopped mid-batch (books_journal_stop_posting) and undone by reference. Import is native - OneDrive workbooks or direct draft upload, no third-party import app required.
The bot does the heavy lifting
- Reads the invoices and contracts you share in OneDrive, proposes the journal entry - and once you approve, books it with the supporting documents attached to the entry (book_je_attach_drive_doc).
- Writes month-end workbooks in OneDrive so reviewers can check formulas in Excel before anything imports.
- Queues entries for posting - and can bulk-undo its own batch by reference if you change your mind.
- Imported entries stay first-class: once posted, they drill down and edit exactly like hand-keyed ones.
You stay in control
- The post-lock is absolute: the general ledger changes only when a person posts the queue.
- You can stop a posting run mid-batch with one click.
- Grant releases and estimates stay flagged for your judgment before they queue.
