Built for CFOs & Finance Directors

Your data pipeline.
No engineers required.

NorthLedger connects every data source your finance team uses, automates report generation on any trigger, and delivers results exactly where they need to go — without a single line of code.

Finance teams spend weeks on work that should take minutes

Before NorthLedger

Manual exports every month-end. Someone logs into the ERP, pulls a CSV, pastes it into Excel, fixes the formatting, and emails it — every single time.

Data scattered across five systems. QuickBooks doesn't talk to Salesforce. The bank feed is a separate export. The budget lives in a spreadsheet. Nobody has a single view.

Alerts come too late. By the time someone notices a department has blown its budget, the quarter is already over and the conversation is damage control.

Engineers get pulled in. Someone writes a cron script. Nobody owns it. It breaks quietly. Finance doesn't know until the Monday report doesn't arrive.

Board decks take a week to prep. Finance scrambles stitching data from six places into a slide appendix that's already stale by the time it's sent.

After NorthLedger

Reports run automatically. Set it once. Every month-end, the report generates itself, formats to your template, and lands in the right inbox before anyone starts their day.

One pipeline, all your sources. NorthLedger pulls from your ERP, bank, CRM, and any spreadsheets simultaneously — joins them into a single clean dataset on every run.

Alerts fire before the damage is done. Define thresholds on any metric. The moment cash runway drops below 90 days or a department hits 85% of budget, the right person knows.

Finance owns the workflow. No engineering ticket needed. Finance Directors build pipelines visually — connect sources, set the trigger, pick the destination. Done in an afternoon.

Board decks populate themselves. A pipeline pulls every data source, generates the XLSX appendix, and drops it in the board's Drive folder — the week it's actually needed.

Every workflow is a pipeline of nodes

Connect a trigger, add processing steps, choose where to send the output. Build complex multi-source workflows visually — no code, no infrastructure, no maintenance.

What starts the pipeline. Set it once — NorthLedger handles everything downstream.

Schedule

Run on any cadence — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom cron. Fires reliably even when your team is offline.

Last business day of month at 6amEvery Monday 7am for weekly cash snapshot

Google Drive — New File

Watch a Drive folder. The moment a file appears — a bank statement, a sales export, a vendor file — the pipeline starts automatically.

Accountant uploads a bank statementSales team drops a weekly export CSV

Dropbox — New File

Watch a Dropbox folder for incoming files. Useful for teams and external partners who already work in Dropbox.

Field team uploads daily data filesClient submits a reporting export

Inbound Email

A dedicated inbox receives emails with attachments. The attachment is parsed automatically and used as a data source in the pipeline.

Bank statement arrives by emailVendor sends a CSV invoice report

Webhook

Any external system can POST to a unique endpoint and trigger a pipeline immediately. No polling, no delays.

ERP period close → P&L fires instantlyStripe payment → financial snapshot updates

Database Change

Watch a table or field in any connected database. A new row or changed value triggers the downstream pipeline in real time.

Invoice status changes to "paid"Budget threshold row is crossed
Processors

What happens to your data in the middle. Chain multiple processors for complex workflows.

Multi-Source Join

Pull from multiple databases, files, and APIs simultaneously — then merge into one unified, clean dataset before the next step.

QuickBooks + bank feed + Salesforce → P&LERP + spreadsheet + CRM → board report

Data Transformation

Clean, normalize, deduplicate, and reshape raw data. Convert currencies, standardize chart of accounts, aggregate by entity or department.

Convert multi-currency to USDAggregate revenue by business unit

AI Analysis

Run LLM-based analysis on your merged dataset — surface trends, flag anomalies, and generate plain-English summaries included in the report.

Threshold Alerting

Define rules on any metric. If a value crosses a threshold, fire an alert node downstream — email, Slack, or a webhook to another system.

Report Generator

Produce formatted outputs from your processed data — PDF, XLSX, or HTML — using configurable templates your team designs once.

Data Consolidation

Write the cleaned, joined dataset into a central data store — your warehouse, a managed DB, or a persistent table — for BI tools or further querying.

Destinations

Where the output goes. One pipeline can write to multiple destinations simultaneously.

Email Delivery

Built around how your finance team is structured

Different roles get different things back. Every benefit maps to real hours saved or risks eliminated.

CFO

Complete visibility, zero assembly required

You get the reports you need when you need them — before the board asks, before the quarter closes, before the problem becomes a crisis.

  • Board-ready financials delivered automatically each period
  • Cash flow and runway alerts before they become urgent
  • Multi-entity consolidation without a manual rollup process
  • AI-generated commentary explaining variances in plain English
8–15 hrs

saved per month-end close cycle

Finance Director

Stop owning the process, start owning the insights

You shouldn't be the person who knows how to pull data from four systems and stitch it together in Excel. NorthLedger takes that off your plate entirely.

  • Build pipelines yourself — no engineering ticket needed
  • All recurring reports run automatically on your schedule
  • Threshold alerts mean no more manually checking dashboards
  • Every report is traceable — know exactly what data ran when
~40%

of reporting time eliminated in the first 60 days

Controller / Accounting

Month-end close in hours, not days

Close packages that used to take two days to assemble now generate themselves. Your team focuses on review, not data wrangling.

  • Close package auto-generates on the last business day
  • Pulls from accounting software, bank feeds, and ERP simultaneously
  • Output saved to Drive and emailed to stakeholders automatically
  • Inbound invoices parsed from email — no manual entry
2 days → 2 hrs

Operations / Analysts

Data pipelines you own — without writing code

You know what data needs to flow where. You just shouldn't need a developer to make it happen.

  • Visual pipeline builder — no SQL or scripting required
  • Connect to any database, API, file source, or webhook
  • Data consolidation into a warehouse for BI tools you already use
  • No fragile cron scripts owned by someone who left the company
Same day

from idea to running pipeline — no engineering queue

What a pipeline looks like end to end

The first workflows most finance teams build in their pilot. Each takes under two hours to configure.

Month-End Close Package

Saves 8–15 hrs/mo

Schedule Trigger — Last business day of month, 5:30am

Fires automatically. No one needs to remember. The pipeline starts before the team is at their desks.

Multi-Source Join — QuickBooks + bank feed + budget spreadsheet

Pulls the trial balance from QuickBooks, live bank balances via API, and the approved budget from a linked Google Sheet. Joins them into a single dataset.

AI Analysis — Variance commentary

Compares actuals to budget and generates a short plain-English summary: which lines are over, which are under, and by how much. Included directly in the report.

📄

Report Generator — PDF close package

Formats the data into your standard P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow template. Outputs a formatted PDF ready to share.

Email — CFO + Finance Director + Controller

Report lands in the right inboxes before 6am. Everyone starts their day with the close package already done.

📂

Google Drive — /Finance/Close Reports/2026

The PDF is filed automatically into the correct folder. No manual saving, no misfiles, no "where's last month's close?" in six months.

Budget Overrun Alert

Real-time visibility
📈

Database Change Trigger — ERP expense table

Watches the actuals table in your ERP. Any time a new transaction is posted, the pipeline evaluates current department totals.

📢

Threshold Check — 85% of quarterly budget consumed

Compares actuals to the budget model. If any department crosses the threshold, the alert path fires. If not, the pipeline ends silently.

💬

Slack Alert — Finance Director + Budget Owner DM

"Engineering has consumed 87% of Q3 budget with 6 weeks remaining." The right people know before it becomes a problem — not after.
