Tie-Out Engine

Your slip tie-outs, automated. Then I hand it over.

I build tools for accounting firms that do the careful, mechanical middle of a file: reading the statement, tying each slip back to it, and building the working papers. Every step is shown, so a reviewer can see how each figure was reached. The tools below are working examples, running on invented data.

Investment Book Keeping: the package settings beside a generated brokerage statement watermarked SYNTHETIC.

What I automate

Slip tie-outs

T5, T3 and T5008 slips read and tied back to the brokerage statement, box by box. Anything that doesn't tie shows up as a plug you can trace.

Working papers

A year of statements read into Detail and Summary workbooks. Every Summary figure is a formula you can follow back to its Detail row.

Practice files

Realistic client packages with an answer key for every field, for training juniors or testing software without opening a client file.

  1. Free review (30 minutes). Walk me through one tie-out your team does by hand. I show you what it looks like automated.
  2. Fixed-scope build. One tool for one process, at a fixed price agreed before I start.
  3. Handoff. Your team gets the tool, its source and the instructions. It's yours.
