Finance teams want AI assistance, but accounting decisions still need governed evidence and human review.

Meet NorthernClarity at Slush 2026.
Building the AI-assisted finance workspace for multi-entity groups.
From financial data preparation and account mapping to consolidation, analysis, and management reporting—one governed workflow.
What we are building
The finance-controlled layer between local data and group decisions.
NorthernClarity helps growing groups replace fragile spreadsheet handoffs with one connected path from local finance data to an approved group close and management-ready reporting. The wedge is clear: account mapping, consolidation, and presentation for teams that have outgrown Excel but do not need a full enterprise EPM programme.
Why now
A widening gap between spreadsheets and enterprise EPM.
Legacy consolidation is too heavy for many groups
Growing multi-entity companies need more control than Excel without taking on enterprise EPM cost and complexity.
Reporting remains fragmented after the close
Mapping, consolidation, analysis, and presentation are still split across files, systems, and manual handoffs.
Product vision
One controlled group close—then a management-ready story.
Consolidation Professional
Early AccessA lighter, governed alternative between Excel and enterprise EPM.
Professional is the clearest expression of the NorthernClarity product direction: deterministic consolidation logic, visible finance decisions, and an auditable route to the released group result.

AI assists. Rules calculate. Finance decides.
Governed AI
AI proposes and explains. It does not silently approve finance decisions.
Deterministic finance rules
FX, consolidations, journal balancing, and control totals remain reproducible.
Auditability by design
Mappings, journals, evidence, versions, reviewers, and release decisions stay traceable.
Product thinking
The problem, product wedge, and long-term direction.
Three practical reads explain why NorthernClarity starts with controlled consolidation and how the same governed workflow can reshape the wider finance close.

Start with one controlled group close. Expand with the group.
The target customer is a growing multi-entity company facing multiple account structures, currencies, ERP exports, and spreadsheet-based consolidation. NorthernClarity enters through a scoped 90-day pilot and continues as recurring B2B SaaS.
Customers can operate the workspace themselves, add NorthernClarity review support, or use a managed reporting workflow. Entity growth and additional finance workflows create a natural expansion path.
