The strongest finance teams run on standardized processes

Every reviewer works from the same documented procedure. Month-end close happens the same way every time, regardless of who’s running it.

AI-powered process documentation

Walk through a month-end close step with Step Recorder running. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, drafts the SOP from your capture so the senior accountant isn’t the only person who knows how it works.

AI Chat Assistant

Alice answers questions about any documented finance process and links the source SOP. Repeat questions from reviewers get answered before they reach a person.

Turn SOPs into actionable checklists

Whale generates a step-by-step checklist from any SOP so monthly close work moves through the same review every time. Each step gets timestamped and attributed to the person who ran it.

Version History and Change Tracking

Every edit to a finance SOP is logged with the author and the timestamp. The audit trail shows up automatically, ready for the next review.

SME Approvals and Reviews

Assign a process owner and require sign-off before changes go live. Whale routes the SOP to the right reviewer and keeps a record of every approval.
