Automate accrual & prepayment schedules
Accrual and prepayment schedules ensure that expenses and income are recognised in the correct period — documenting every estimate, its calculation basis, and its source. Preparing them manually every close cycle is repetitive and time-consuming. Rima automates this entirely. Send your invoices, contracts, and prior period schedules via Slack or email and get back completed accrual and prepayment workpapers in your Excel templates.

FAQ
Common questions about accrual and prepayment schedule automation
What are accrual and prepayment schedules?
Accrual schedules are workpapers that document expenses incurred but not yet invoiced or paid at period end — ensuring costs are recognised in the correct period. Prepayment schedules document payments made in advance that need to be spread across future periods. Both are standard close workpapers required to ensure accurate financial statements.

You send your invoices, contracts, GL exports, and prior period schedules to Rima via Slack or email. Rima calculates accrual and prepayment amounts, populates your workpaper templates with source references, and delivers completed schedules in Excel — ready for journal entry and reviewer sign-off.
Can Rima calculate accruals from contracts and invoices?
Yes. Rima reads your contract or invoice terms, calculates the accrual amount based on the relevant period, and prepares the workpaper with the calculation basis and source document reference included.
Does Rima handle recurring accruals?
Yes. Rima can process recurring accruals — such as monthly rent, utilities, or subscription charges — based on your prior period schedules or contract terms, rolling forward the schedule each period.
