Watch Eagl carry one accrual through every stage: accrued, invoiced, reversed, complete. All on a single record.

Dec 31

The accrual is booked

Eagl recognizes the estimated audit fee at period end, before the invoice has arrived.

Cost recognition

Spread the cost across the months it covers

A prepaid like an annual software license shouldn't hit one month. Eagl defers it and recognizes it evenly across the term.

  • Deferred to the balance sheet

    The upfront invoice parks as a prepaid asset, not a one-month hit to the P&L.

  • Recognized every month

    An equal slice of the cost is booked automatically, on schedule, with no reminders.

  • Released to zero

    The deferral account winds down to nil by the end of the term, provably complete.

Predictive

Predicts the next entry, then matches it

Eagl forecasts the next booking, down to the account, amount, and month. When it posts, the prediction matches itself.

  • Predicted, with detail

    Entry type, expected month, full GL lines, and a fallback if the vendor invoices late.

  • Auto-matched to reality

    When the real JE lands, the prediction matches itself and attaches the transaction.

  • Handles inexact amounts

    An accrual is an estimate, so the invoice lands a bit higher or lower. Eagl still matches it and books the difference.

Cut-off analysis

Every cost in the period it belongs to

A cost belongs to the period it was incurred, not the month its invoice arrives. Eagl reads the service period on every entry and decides whether to accrue, defer, or amortize.

Forward cut-off

Are costs incurred this period accrued before their invoices arrive? Eagl writes the expected entry and waits for it to land.

Backward cut-off

Did we over-accrue? When the invoice comes in short, the delta releases back to P&L, flagged rather than hidden.

Spreading cut-off

Is a multi-period cost recognized across the right number of months, not dumped into the one it was booked in?
