Tick-and-Tie

Tick-and-tie is the reconciliation step between the filing narrative and the underlying books. Finrep maps every numeric reference in your 10-K or 10-Q to its source in the trial balance, supporting schedules, or workpapers. Discrepancies flagged by section. Full mapping exports as audit-ready documentation.

Today's reality

Tick-and-Tie without Finrep

  • Manual tie-out in spreadsheets, page by page under deadline pressure
  • No systematic coverage. High-risk sections get more attention; others get less.
  • Discrepancies found by auditors, not the team, stopping the close cycle
  • No audit-ready documentation of the reconciliation process

SEC Reporting · Review

A single wrong number in a 10-K is an auditor finding. Manual tie-out misses them.

A 10-K contains hundreds of numeric references: inline figures in MD&A, table values in Item 8, footnote amounts, and cross-referenced totals. Each one needs to trace back to a source. The manual process is a spreadsheet, a color-coded printout, and someone working through the filing page by page.

It takes days. It is error-prone under deadline pressure. And when the auditors arrive with their own tie-out and find a discrepancy the team missed, the close cycle stops while everyone traces it back.

What changes when every number in the filing has a traced source

Full-filing numeric mapping

Every inline figure, table value, footnote amount, and cross-referenced total mapped to its source. Covers MD&A, Item 8 financial statements, all footnotes, and selected financial data. No section excluded for time.

Three source types supported

Reconciliation against trial balance exports, supporting schedules (debt rollforward, equity rollforward, lease schedule), and uploaded workpapers. Source type tagged per mapping so the export shows provenance clearly.

Section-level discrepancy flagging

Discrepancies surfaced by section with both values shown: filing amount and source amount. Rounding tolerance configurable. Flags include the specific line item and location in both the filing and the source file.

Audit-ready mapping export

Full reconciliation mapping exports as structured documentation: every numeric reference, its source file, source line, reconciliation status, and any discrepancy. Format designed for the audit workpaper file, not internal tracking only.

Built for the people who sign the tie-out before the auditors arrive

SEC Reporting Lead

Every number in the filing mapped to its source before the audit begins. Discrepancies yours to find, not theirs.

CFO/Controller

Audit-ready reconciliation documentation generated automatically. Workpaper file complete before the auditors arrive.

FAQ

Every inline figure in MD&A, all table values in Item 8, footnote amounts, and cross-referenced totals across the full filing.
