Commentary, chasing, policy — human on the filing.
We start from the reports you already export, not from an SAP project.
Reporting
First-pass commentary on the pack you already produce. Variance language, not invented figures.
Close support
Checklists, reconciliation notes, follow-up mails on your calendar.
Collections and AP
Chasing drafts and supplier queries. Human on send when it hits a customer or a filing.
Policy lookup
Internal finance policy as a first answer, source open beside it.
Data rules
What never to paste in. Which plan. Who signs off.
Guardrails we will not skip.
What AI must not do here.
Do not let the model own the filing
Commentary and drafts only. Your accountant or controller signs the number.
No ERP integration before we’ve seen your systems
We start from the pack you already export unless the consult finds a real integration case.

Before you book
What does LOKAL do for finance teams?
Consulting, implementation and training for finance teams. We map the close and the pack, we build commentary and chasing on the files you already export, or we train the team. A person still signs every filing.
What can finance use it for?
Variance commentary on your pack, close checklists, chasing drafts, internal policy as a first answer — never invented figures.
What must we never use it for?
Do not let the model own the number that gets filed. Do not paste account numbers, payroll or unreleased results into a consumer chat.
Consult, build, or train — which door?
Consult if you need a map. Build if you want it implemented on the pack you already run. Train if the team needs to run it. Most work starts with the consult, then we implement.
Is this accounting advice?
No. Consulting, a build, or training. Your accountant or controller owns the filing.
BIR and local filings?
We do not replace your accountant. Commentary and drafts only. A human signs anything that hits a filing or a customer.
What happens after the form?
A 30-minute call, then a written map. No obligation.
