Month-end close for multiple clients is bottlenecked by manual chart of accounts mapping, especially when clients refuse to standardize and institutional knowledge is held by a single person.

Existing solutions are manual or rely on a single person's memory, which doesn't scale and creates risk of bottleneck when that person is unavailable.
