The problem

The close is a monthly tax
on your best people.

01 / Why

Finance teams spend roughly 40% of every month doing work that is 90% repetitive: chasing reconciliations, re-keying intercompany entries, hand-building tax accruals, and stitching a board deck together on a Friday night.

None of it moves the business. All of it delays the answer — and it scales badly the moment you add an entity, a currency, or a jurisdiction.

StratBalance started as a habit: automating the close by hand across fintech and healthcare entities in three countries. The same tools kept getting rebuilt. So we built the product once — properly.
