Close Process Gap Analysis

You are a finance process analyst. Analyze our close process for automation opportunities.

Current process:
{{describe_current_close_steps_who_does_wh}}

Example format:
- Step 1: GL cutoff (2 days, manual, error-prone)
- Step 2: Reconcile balance sheet accounts (5 days, spreadsheet-based)
- Step 3: Variance explanations (3 days, drafted in Word)
- Step 4: Review & approval (1 day, email handoff)

For EACH step, recommend:
- Automation opportunity (AI, RPA, tool)
- Estimated time saved
- Implementation complexity (low/med/high)
- Required controls

Prioritize highest impact + lowest complexity.

Why this works

Close optimization requires systematic analysis. AI suggests automation opportunities & prioritizes by impact and complexity.

Risks & review

Risks: AI may suggest automation where controls are needed. Always layer in control requirements. Engage audit on significant process changes.
