One click. A first pass on every transaction. Review what's right, sync, and done. Your close gets faster every month.

How it works
Rho already knows your books. Click to generate a first pass, review what's right, and sync. No manual data entry. No starting from scratch every month.
Rho learns your books
Your chart of accounts, your vendors, your coding history. Not a generic model. Yours.
Rho takes the first pass
Open the accounting view and click to generate. A suggestion for every transaction, ready to review.
You review, accept, and sync
Accept all at once or one at a time. Override anything. Nothing syncs until you say so.
Rho Close is month-end close software that drafts a suggested account category for every transaction, using your chart of accounts, your vendor history, and your past coding decisions. It is built for founders who do their own books and for accountants who manage one startup or ten. You generate suggestions on demand, review them, and override anything. It is not a general ledger, and it does not replace your accountant.
- Suggestions are based on your history. The same vendors, the same accounts, month after month.
- Nothing syncs until you approve it. Every time.
- Accept in bulk or one at a time. Override anything.
- Close gets faster every month as Rho learns more.
- Works with the native integrations for QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct.
Before and after
Transaction coding happens every month. Rho does the first pass so you're not starting from zero.

After: Open it. Rho already did the first pass.
Every transaction has a suggested category based on your history. Review what's right, override what isn't, sync. Done.
FAQs
Rho looks at your chart of accounts, your vendor history, and every coding decision you've made on Rho. It builds a suggested first pass based on how your business actually codes, not a generic model trained on someone else's books. The longer you use it, the more accurate it gets.
Most founders doing their own books are coding the same transactions month after month. Same vendors, same categories, same decisions repeated from scratch. Rho Close does that first pass for you. Open the accounting view, click to generate suggestions, review what's right, and sync. Close goes from a few hours to a few minutes, and gets faster every month.
If you're managing books for one startup or ten, the first pass is the part that eats your time. Rho Close does it for you. When you're ready to close, click to generate suggestions based on how you've coded before. Review what's right, correct what isn't, sync. Your methodology stays intact. Your time doesn't disappear into data entry.
Yes. Rho Close requires a native accounting integration. If you're currently exporting CSVs, you'll need to connect a supported integration to take advantage of the feature.
No. Nothing syncs until you review and approve it. You open the accounting view, click to generate suggestions, review what Rho found, and sync when you're ready. Every step requires your sign-off.
Every time you accept or override a suggestion, Rho learns from that decision. Over time the suggestions match your coding patterns more closely, which means less to review and correct each month. You don't have to do anything differently for this to happen.
Anyone with access to the accounting view on Rho. That includes the founder, a first finance hire, or an outsourced accountant managing the books on your behalf. Permissions follow your existing Rho account settings.
Yes, always. Accept suggestions in bulk or one at a time. Override anything that doesn't look right. Rho learns from every correction, so the next close is more accurate than the last.
Rho Close works with the same accounting integrations as Rho's accounting experience: QuickBooks Online, Oracle NetSuite, and Sage Intacct via native direct integration. Xero is also supported via bank feed, with coding handled on the Xero side.
Rho Close is month-end close software that drafts a suggested category for every transaction from your own chart of accounts, vendor history, and past coding. You generate suggestions when you want them, review them, and accept or override each one.
A month-end close is the set of steps a company runs after a month ends to confirm its books are complete and accurate. For a startup, the work is mostly four things: reconcile bank and card activity to the ledger, code every transaction to an account and vendor, review for missing receipts and uncategorized items, and lock the period so reports for investors and tax do not shift.
Coding is the step that repeats: the same vendors, the same accounts, the same decisions, every month. Rho Close drafts a first pass at that step for you to review. Reconciling, reviewing, and locking the period stay with you and your accountant.
Rho Close is included with your Rho account. Banking, cards, bill pay, and a close that gets faster every month.
