Numeric runs the close. Adopt runs the book.
Agents prepare the payables exceptions, the receivables aging and the close on one ledger, inside the systems you already use. Your team approves what matters.

new logins for your team
100%
traced to source documents
Agents work inside the systems your team already uses.
Software you run still leaves the close on your desk.
Ownership
Someone has to run the automation
Describing a process to an agent, tending it, and fixing it when a bank changes its statement format: with a software license, that someone is on your team.
Coverage
The integration catalog sets your coverage
Systems outside the catalog stay manual: older ERPs, bank portals, document stores. Those are usually where the close gets stuck.
Accountability
Exceptions land on you, with no one accountable
Every held item still needs a person, and a license does not put anyone on the hook for clearing it by close day.
Approval logic
Approval is all or nothing
A single "a human approves everything" setting means proven, high-volume work still queues for a person every cycle.
Month-end, when only the exceptions need you
Agents pull the statements, match the lines and hand your reviewer a finished run. What lands on your team's desk is the short list below, not the workqueue.
Every held item states the one thing wrong with it, and one cent out is out of balance.
Numeric vs Adopt AI
Numeric is a genuinely good close platform. It is quick to stand up, lean accounting teams like using it, and it runs the close at Brex, Wealthfront and public companies. If the close checklist is the whole problem, it is a strong answer and you should buy it. The comparison below is about the other three weeks.
| Numeric | Adopt AI | |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | A close automation platform your team runs | The close, payables and receivables work itself, prepared for review, with Adopt's accountants behind the agents |
| Scope | Close management, reconciliations, cash matching, flux and reporting. Payables and receivables are not on the product list | Payables, receivables and the close on one ledger with one audit trail |
| Who does the work | Its agents draft, match and monitor. Your accountants verify, finish and post | Adopt agents prepare, Adopt's team keeps them running, your team approves |
| Who owns the outcome | Your team. It is a software subscription | Adopt, through a pilot with agreed targets and pricing tied to work completed |
| Pricing basis | Per user, from $30 per month on the entry plan, custom above it | Accounting work completed, scoped in the pilot. No seats, no AI credits |
| Your systems | Modern, API-connected ERPs. NetSuite, QuickBooks and Xero are the named fits | Whatever your team uses today, older ERPs and bank portals with no API included |
| Where your data sits | Numeric's cloud | Your environment, if you choose: cloud, private cloud or on-prem |
| Getting started | Self-serve to CPA-led onboarding, depending on plan | A pilot on your own close with targets agreed before it starts |
| Best fit | Teams on a modern ERP whose problem is the close itself | Teams that want the whole month prepared, not just the close tracked |

Trust is a dial, not a leap.
You decide what each agent may do, per entity and per agent. Start at watch, move the dial as the evidence accumulates. Nothing moves up a rung unless you move it.
The agent reads and reports only. Where every new engagement starts.
The agent proposes with evidence and a confidence score. A human accepts every entry. Today's default.
The agent prepares the full action and waits at a gate your reviewer controls.
The agent does the work and records it. For high-volume work you have already watched it do correctly.
Nothing in Adopt can move money.
Adopt cannot send a payment. Approving a bill instructs the system that already pays your vendors.
One cent out is out of balance.
Reconciliation has no tolerance setting, and agents record the statement balance exactly as your bank reported it. A rounded or derived balance would hide the errors reconciliation exists to catch.
It can always show its work.
The system stamps every suggestion, approval and write-back with who did it, when, and on what evidence, in a history no one can edit or overwrite. Your auditors get an answer to any question.
From the teams we work with
I have sincerely appreciated my time spent working with Adopt.
I am often impressed with both their willingness to dive in and absorb the technical subject matter of my industry and their competence in creating a bespoke AI agent solution that works symbiotically with my team’s established workflows.
Dan Kielar, Senior Manager, National R&D Tax Credit Practice, UHY
They say most AI projects fail, but that was definitely not the case here!
Adopt was brought in to develop a fully customized AI solution for our team… The project was an unequivocal success in no small part because of Adopt’s ability to work with us to map our process, take feedback on what was working and what wasn’t, and helping us with what we didn’t know.
Steven Nerat, UHY
No migration. A pilot.
- Day 1
Bring one close task
Agents run it on a simulated version of your workflow while you watch. That demo is the whole ask.
- Weeks 1–4
Pilot on your own month
Agents run at suggest posture across a close task and a payables queue. Your team accepts or corrects every entry inside the systems you already use.
- Day 30
Judge the numbers
Review the pilot against the targets we agreed. Move the agents up the ladder, or walk away having lost nothing.

Yes. Adopt prepares the close inside the systems you already use, so a separate close checklist has nothing left to track. The pilot runs next to your current close first, so you switch on evidence rather than a promise.
Both, on the same ledger and the same audit trail. That is the reason the comparison exists.
No. Bank connections are read-only, and Adopt cannot send a payment. Approving a bill instructs the system that already pays your vendors.
Agents propose, your team accepts. Nothing posts without a human approving it, every action is attributed, and any figure traces to its source document. Agents never invent a number.
That is the profile we serve best. Entities are treated as real ledger boundaries, not tags, and your chart is captured explicitly during setup.
You pay for accounting work completed, not per seat and not per AI credit. Adding a reviewer does not add to the bill. The pilot sets the scope and the targets, and the agreement that follows prices the work at that scope.
