What we actually do, said plainly.

Generated on demand

Reports and the board packet are generated when you click — using the data your treasurer has already entered. No nightly batch jobs to wait on.

Audit log

Every reconciliation, every close, every reopen is recorded with the user, action, and timestamp. The auditor portal makes the trail reviewable.

Read-only insights

Insights are views over your real data. There is no AI deciding what you should cut — just clear charts of where the money went.
