Financial close for creator & talent agencies

Your spreadsheet is lying to you.

It just can't prove it isn't.

ErgoBase close recordsFollow the evidence
01 / Evidence arrives

01 / The monthly pile-up

Platform exports. Bank statements. Chatter costs. Creator splits. Every month it all lands on someone's desk, and every month, the numbers probably match.

Probably isn't proof.

02 / The evidence chain

Every payout, traced to its inputs.

ErgoBase stores the source revenue records and contract versions used in each payout calculation. Reconciliation separately links imported platform rows to reviewed bank deposits. Not a flattened summary: the evidence needed to inspect the close.

03 / Database-enforced close

Then the month is sealed.

Locked periods are immutable. Database triggers reject later financial-row changes, so corrections have to follow a new adjustment or correction workflow. What was closed stays closed.

04 / Accountant handoff

Hand your accountant this. Instead of your apologies.

One export contains period totals, source-file hashes, payout detail, reconciliation, approved adjustments, audit events, and a PDF summary. A close assembled for professional review.

05 / Operator fit

Built for creator & talent agencies.

Multi-creator rosters, platform payouts, brand deals, external revenue, contract splits, expenses, and adjustments: one controlled monthly close for records generic accounting tools do not connect.

06 / Review readiness

Audit-ready by design.

Reporting and tax-transparency questions start with records that can be inspected. ErgoBase organizes source-linked financial data into a controlled close and an accountant export pack.

ErgoBase is software, not tax, legal, accounting, financial, or lending advice.

07 / Tenant boundary

Your books are yours.

Every request resolves an agency server-side. Tenant-scoped financial tables use Postgres row-level security with FORCE, so workspace isolation is enforced by the database as well as the application.

08 / The first close

Close one month with us. Properly.

We run the first close with you: workspace setup, real financial exports, bank reconciliation, payout review, period lock, and accountant-pack handoff.
