THE PLATFORM
Everything finance touches, intelligently connected.
One workspace for spend, close, and forecasting — with an AI layer doing the work your team used to do by hand.
◆
An AI controller that never sleeps
It reconciles transactions, flags anomalies, drafts journal entries, and has month-end ready before your team logs on. You review — it does the rest.
◆
Real-time spend
Every card, vendor, and subscription in one live view — no spreadsheet exports, ever.
◆
Close in hours
Continuous reconciliation means the books are never more than a day from done.
◆
Forecast with quiet confidence
Scenario models that update themselves as the numbers move — runway, burn, and cashflow you can actually trust in a board meeting.

AUTONOMOUS CLOSE
Your month-end, done before Monday.
Sterling watches every account in real time, matches transactions to invoices, and quietly resolves the 90% that don’t need a human. What’s left is a clean queue of exceptions — reviewed in minutes, not days.
✓
Continuous reconciliation
Matches happen the moment money moves — not at quarter-end.
✓
Audit-ready trail
Every AI decision is logged, explained, and reversible.
✓
Anomaly detection
Duplicate invoices and out-of-policy spend flagged before they post.

Sterling gave us back the first week of every month. Our close went from eleven days to one, and I finally trust the number I show the board.

QUESTIONS
The things finance leaders ask first.
How does the AI controller stay accurate?
×
It learns your chart of accounts and vendor patterns, and every match is rule-checked. Anything ambiguous is routed to you for review — never guessed.
How long does it take to set up?
+
Most teams are live in an afternoon. Connect your bank, cards, and billing tools and Sterling backfills your history automatically.
Is my financial data secure?
+
Bank-grade encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2 Type II, and SSO/SAML on higher plans. Your data is never used to train shared models.
Does it replace our accounting software?
+
No — it sits on top. Sterling syncs with your ledger and does the reconciliation and close work around it.
What if we outgrow our plan?
+
Upgrade anytime and everything carries over. Enterprise adds multi-entity consolidation and dedicated support when you need it.
