Faster month-end close

Close the month in a third of the time.

A slow close means managers make decisions on old numbers. 2D Canada helps finance teams close faster by mapping every step, removing the ones that add nothing, automating the repeat work and giving every task a clear owner.

From more than 30 days to 10.

Our founder took a department where several finance groups each closed their part of the books their own way, and brought them onto one process, one timeline and shared tools.

What you get

What changes

  • A close calendar with every task, owner and deadline in one place that everyone can see
  • Fewer handoffs and less waiting between teams
  • Reconciliations and routine journal entries prepared automatically in Excel or with AI tools
  • Checks built in along the way, so errors surface early instead of on the last day
  • Standard templates for reports and commentary
  • A written process your team can follow without you in the room
Who it's for

A good fit if…

The close takes weeks

And the numbers arrive too late to be useful.

Everyone does it differently

Each team or entity has its own files and habits.

Errors show up at the end

And fixing them pushes the close out even further.

How it works

Three steps, each one paying off before the next.

01

Map

Write down every close task, who does it and how long it takes.

02

Simplify

Remove, combine or reorder steps, and set one shared timeline.

03

Automate

Use Excel, Power BI and AI tools to do the repeat work and the checks.

Questions

Common questions

How long does it take to see a difference?

It depends on where you start. The first fixes are often process changes that need no new software, so they can be put in place quickly.

Does this work for a small team?

Yes. The approach works for a team of two or a team of twenty.

Do we need a new accounting system?

Usually not. Most of the gains come from process, ownership and automation around the system you already have.

Can you work alongside our controller?

Yes. 2D Canada works with your finance lead, not around them, and leaves your team owning the new process.
