The problem

Month-end is still a manual grind — especially across entities.

Finance teams at multi-entity brands burn their best people on copy-paste work: chasing invoices through inboxes, matching bank lines by hand, and untangling intercompany transfers in spreadsheets. The close drags, and the forecast is stale before it's finished.

  • 1 in 4 finance teams takes 10+ days to close the month — rushing the rest and burning out the team.
  • Reconciliation, accruals, and data hygiene rank as the most time-consuming close tasks in industry surveys.
  • Intercompany eliminations eat days when invoices, loans, and transfers between entities are matched by hand.
Where the close time goes
Bank & ledger reconciliation~35%
Accruals & provisions~25%
Data hygiene & chasing documents~22%
Intercompany eliminations~18%

How it works

Five stages. One pipeline. Zero re-keying.

Every document that enters KOVEN flows through the same autonomous pipeline — from raw email attachment to a reconciled, audit-ready ledger entry.

01

Capture

Invoices arrive by email, Gmail/IMAP sync, or upload. OCR extracts vendors, line items, and totals — no typing.

02

Understand

KOVEN normalizes vendors, matches POs, and proposes double-entry journals in your chart of accounts.

03

Approve

Policy-routed approvals by amount, entity, and category. Every decision is logged as an audit event.

04

Reconcile

Bank feeds meet a rules engine that auto-matches transactions and flags only the true exceptions.

05

Close & forecast

Multi-entity consolidation, variance notes, and a rolling cash forecast — ready for the board, not the bin.

The KOVEN thesis

What a six-person finance team does today, one accountant runs in KOVEN.

KOVEN doesn't replace judgment — it replaces the busywork around it. The accountant stays in command; the platform does the typing, matching, chasing, and filing.

The AP clerk

Autonomous capture & coding

OCR + vendor matching codes every invoice. The human reviews exceptions, not inboxes.

The approvals chaser

Policy-routed approvals

Thresholds and entity rules route every spend decision automatically, with reminders that never sleep.

The reconciliation analyst

Rules-engine matching

Bank transactions auto-match against the ledger. One accountant clears exceptions in minutes, not days.

The consolidation team

Multi-entity close

Intercompany activity, per-entity permissions, and a single consolidated ledger view across the group.

The treasury analyst

Cash forecasting

Rolling liquidity snapshots and runway projections generated from live AP/AR — not last month's export.

The audit scramble

Always-on audit trail

Tamper-evident logs on every invoice, approval, and journal. Audit prep becomes a filter, not a fire drill.

Multi-entity, natively

Every entity in one ledger. Every payout traced to its source.

Built for groups, not bolted on: Shopify and Amazon payouts, intercompany transfers, and per-entity approval policies all live in one consolidated view.

  • Per-entity permissions — controllers see their entity; the CFO sees the group.
  • Intercompany awareness — transfers between entities are matched on both sides, not double-counted.
  • Marketplace payout reconciliation — one payout line resolves into hundreds of orders automatically.
  • Consolidated close — group-level reporting without exporting three ledgers into one fragile spreadsheet.
Security & trust

Built to pass your security review, honestly.

You're handing us visibility into your cash. We treat that with database-level isolation — not just careful application code — and we don't overclaim certifications we don't hold.

Row-level isolation

Tenant separation is enforced by Postgres row-level security — your data is invisible to other tenants at the database layer.

SOC 2-aligned controls

Encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, and controls mapped to SOC 2 — stated plainly, verified in your review.

Tamper-evident audit logs

Every invoice, approval, and journal entry leaves an immutable event trail your auditors can rely on.

You stay in control

Role-based access, approval thresholds you define, and a 30-day pilot where your data never leaves your workspace.

Design Partner Program

Shape KOVEN. Pay pilot pricing. Keep the upside.

We're onboarding a small group of multi-entity ecommerce and DTC finance teams as design partners — deeply discounted, deeply involved.

  • 3-month paid pilot at partner pricing — a fraction of list price while we prove value on your books.
  • Direct line to the founder — weekly check-ins; your close pain becomes next sprint's roadmap.
  • What we ask back — honest feedback, and a case study + logo once (and only if) we earn it.

Why we built this
“Every multi-entity brand we talked to had the same setup: a brilliant accountant buried under three ledgers, forty spreadsheet tabs, and an inbox full of unapproved invoices. The tooling treated them like data-entry staff. KOVEN exists to flip that — the machine does the entry, matching, and chasing; the accountant does the judgment. That's how one person runs what used to take a department.”
— Founder, KOVEN
