About

Month-end shouldn’t be a race against the clock. For most mid-to-enterprise finance teams, accruals are a manual bottleneck. Chasing missing invoices and manually updating spreadsheets can eat up 4+ days of every month-end close. Mesh changes the timeline. We automate 90% of the accruals process by capturing real-time usage and service signals directly from your AP inbox, Slack, Teams, and historical journals. We turn fragmented data into audit-ready outputs, so you can stop guessing and start closing. See how top teams are accelerating their close by 4+ days at www.usemesh.com

Mesh is a finance automation platform that aims to eliminate manual accrual spreadsheets by automating accruals using real-time signals from procurement, AP inboxes, and collaboration tools. It targets mid-to-enterprise finance teams to close month-end faster and provide auditable, centralized accrual logic and data.

Mesh centralizes vendor context by analyzing invoicing patterns across procurement systems, shared AP inboxes, contracts, and journal entries. It enables teams to encode accounting logic for accruals and prepaids, apply that logic consistently month after month, and flag only exceptions for review. The platform provides a version-controlled policy where users define how accruals should work, supports test runs, tracks overrides, and maintains an auditable trail of changes and calculations.
