What your finance org gets.

Cranston plugs into your banks and ERP, learns your chart of accounts, and takes over the grunt work that buries your team every month—so your controller can focus on strategy, not data entry.

Learns your business

Cranston studies your GL history and builds rules specific to how you operate.

It learns your vendor coding, expense routing, revenue recognition rules, and cash application patterns. Whether you're on QuickBooks or migrating to an ERP, accuracy improves every week.

Forward-deployed accountants

Licensed accountants who extend your team—or replace your outsourced firm.

Monthly close, revenue recognition, lease accounting, tax prep. They use Cranston behind the scenes, so they ramp instantly and your books never depend on one person's tribal knowledge.

Connects to everything you use

QuickBooks, NetSuite, Rippling, Stripe, DocuSign, Citi, B of A, and 3,000+ more.

Cranston plugs into your ERP, banks, payroll, billing, and spend tools in minutes. It pulls live transaction data, matches it, and codes it. No CSV exports, no manual syncing, no ETL headaches.

HOW IT WORKS

Watch it categorize your GL in real time

Cranston pulls transactions from your banks—ACH, wires, check deposits, card charges—matches each one to your GL based on history, and codes everything automatically. Cash application that used to take days happens in real time.
