Numeric and Uniqus Join Forces to Automate Month-End Close for High-Growth Finance Teams

In a move designed to trim the fat from month-end financial closes, automation platform Numeric has announced a strategic partnership with Uniqus Consultech, a global consultancy staffed with Big 4 alumni and focused on finance transformation. The duo promises to bring speed, accuracy, and sanity to overworked finance teams—especially those scaling toward IPO or navigating public-company compliance.

The pitch? Combine Uniqus’ consulting muscle with Numeric’s slick AI-driven close automation to create a one-stop shop for high-growth companies looking to tame reconciliation chaos and deliver audit-ready financials faster.

Why This Matters

For CFOs and controllers, the close process has long been a stubborn bottleneck—manual, error-prone, and often relegated to bloated spreadsheets or outdated legacy systems. That’s especially painful for companies in hyper-growth mode, where scaling operations can quickly outpace financial infrastructure.

This new alliance taps into a broader trend: financial ops is finally getting the automation treatment that sales, marketing, and customer success have enjoyed for years. Think of it as Calendly meets Oracle—with fewer headaches.

What’s Under the Hood

The joint offering promises full-spectrum support, from implementation to change management to ongoing optimization. Key features include:

• ERP-Integrated Data Sync: Pulls detailed general ledger data, not just trial balances, for real-time visibility.
• AI-Powered Reconciliations: Auto-flags anomalies, automates tie-outs, and speeds up balance sheet checks.
• Custom Reporting Packages: Build tailored reports for the board, audit committees, or executive leadership—without manual wrangling.
• Modern UX: An interface that looks and feels like a SaaS product CFOs actually want to use.

Strategic Moves

Parker Gilbert, CEO of Numeric, summed it up with the kind of directness finance pros can appreciate: “The month-end close shouldn’t be a bottleneck; it should be a strategic advantage.” His counterpart, Jamil Khatri at Uniqus, echoed that sentiment, pointing to demand from clients for less friction, more insight, and smarter tools.

The partnership is also a competitive counterpunch to legacy enterprise players like Oracle NetSuite, BlackLine, and Workiva, who have long dominated this space. Unlike those behemoths, Numeric and Uniqus are betting on agility, better UX, and deep automation baked into the workflow, not bolted on.

The Broader Trend

This collaboration reflects a growing shift: Finance teams are being reimagined as strategic operators, not just back-office number crunchers. As businesses become more data-driven, the ability to close fast, clean, and confidently isn’t just an accounting win—it’s a strategic edge.

And with AI moving into everything from audit prep to board decks, tools that pair automation with deep finance knowledge are poised to redefine how companies manage scale.
