W/P ref H-1 · AI for accounting, close and financePrepared by Hysaab · Decided by you

Your finance team. Without changing your accounting system.

Hysaab connects to your books, investigates discrepancies and prepares the work for your review, from reconciliations to the month-end close. You see what’s done, what’s missing, and what needs your decision.

Illustration of a finished month-end close in Hysaab: the close calendar ticks from T+1 to T+4 to done, a contract accrual is confirmed by its owner, the 31 workpapers of the close binder are filed, and October is locked on the fourth working day.

W/P ref H-2 · What it does every dayExamples · sample data

The work your team does now, prepared before they get to it.

Understand your cash

Every bank line matched to the invoice, bill or payment behind it, and the balance agreed to the bank.

212 lines matched overnight; two left for you, each with the reason.

Catch discrepancies

Duplicates, miscoded spend and missing bills found before they reach the accounts.

The same supplier bill entered twice in March: held, not paid twice.

Prepare the close

A dated close calendar with owners, reconciliations signed by a second person, and the binder filed.

October’s 31 workpapers filed on the fourth working day.

Answer tax questions

UAE and Saudi VAT and corporate tax checked as the work is done, not at filing time.

A bill charging 5% VAT on a zero-rated export: held with the rule cited.

W/P ref H-3 · What you get at the end of every closeThe product's own numbers

A closed month, and the binder to prove it.

31

Excel workpapers in every close binder, each with who prepared it, who reviewed it, and DRAFT or FINAL.

T+1–T+5

Every close task dated by working day, with an owner. At-risk tasks show before the deadline.

0

Accruals booked before a person confirms them. Reconciliations need a second signature.

Days

Days to close, measured every month, so each close can be compared with the last.

W/P ref H-4 · The memoryWhy it gets better every month

Any AI can read a bank statement. Hysaab remembers your company.

A chat window starts from nothing every time. Hysaab is connected to your books, your documents, your team and every decision you have made, and it keeps what it learns. It is the part of finance that never forgets how your company works.

  1. Learn

    From your own books.

    It reads your ledger history to learn how your company codes each supplier and which bills recur every month.

    “Hygeia bills in arrears. Accrue it at month end.”

  2. Unlearn

    When you correct it.

    Correct a coding and your correction outweighs the old pattern, which fades. Its confidence is never higher than the evidence behind it.

    “Not Office supplies. Staff welfare, from now on.”

  3. Relearn

    Every month, on your say-so.

    A new rule is made only when you confirm it, and every close adds what owners confirmed and reviewers signed.

    “Yes, make that a standing rule.”

W/P ref H-6 · Your controlReview notes stay on the record

A good colleague doesn't just say yes.

Every change arrives as a proposal with its evidence. When an instruction looks wrong, Hysaab explains why, and the decision and its reason stay on the record.

Coding below confidence threshold74%

Your call

Every answer has a trail.

Open the entries and documents behind it. The working is there to inspect.

Your limits stay put.

Approval limits, period locks and the controls you set remain in force.

The why stays with the what.

A permitted override needs a reason. The proposal, your decision and the history are kept together.
