Aprilis

What Is Aprilis?

Aprilis is an AI-powered technical accounting software that prepares complex accounting work as structured Excel workbooks. Its assistant, Vee, reads uploaded PDFs, Excel files, and CSVs, identifies relevant facts, and applies the appropriate accounting treatment. Typical outputs include ASC 606 contract reviews, lease analyses, and bank reconciliations.

The resulting workbooks include live formulas, automated checks, and source traceability, allowing users to see where individual figures originated. A licensed CPA oversees how files are built and reviewed, while users can also request an optional CPA check before downloading the finished work.

What Is Aprilis Best For?

Aprilis stands out with source traceability built directly into its ASC 606 workpapers. Accountants can hover over figures to identify the supporting document section or see how a value was calculated. This makes complex revenue recognition work easier to review and helps teams validate figures without repeatedly searching through lengthy customer agreements.

Aprilis Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Aprilis's capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where the platform is commonly used:

Companies Handling Month-End Reconciliations

At month-end, accounting teams may need to compare bank statements with accounting records, identify differences, and document final balances before completing a reconciliation. Handling numerous transactions can make this preparation time-consuming. Aprilis can analyze uploaded statements and accounting data to produce structured Excel reconciliation workpapers with live formulas, automated math checks, and source traceability. Accountants can then review the calculations and trace individual figures back to their supporting files.

Revenue Teams Reviewing Complex Customer Contracts

Revenue accounting teams at software or technology companies may need to analyze customer agreements containing multiple deliverables, variable consideration, discounts, and renewal terms under ASC 606. Aprilis's ASC 606 workflow extracts key contract terms, identifies performance obligations, and calculates transaction price and standalone selling price allocations. It then produces revenue recognition schedules in Excel with live formulas, supporting guidance, and tie-out checks for review.

CPAs Preparing Lease Analyses

CPAs handling multiple lease agreements may need to review payment terms, dates, and other contract details before determining the appropriate accounting treatment. Manually extracting these details from individual documents can add significant preparation work. Aprilis can analyze uploaded lease documents, identify relevant facts, and apply the appropriate accounting treatment. The resulting work is prepared in a structured Excel workbook with formulas that accountants can review.

Accounting Teams Researching Technical Accounting Questions

Accountants may encounter unfamiliar questions involving a lease, revenue contract, or new accounting rule and need to research the relevant guidance before reaching a conclusion. Aprilis's Accounting Q&A capability allows users to ask Vee these technical accounting questions directly. Vee provides an answer with references that accountants can check, giving them supporting information for evaluating the accounting issue.

Is Aprilis Right For You?

Aprilis fits accounting teams that handle complex workpapers, such as bank reconciliations, lease analyses, and contract reviews, but want to manage growing workloads without adding headcount. Solo CPAs, growing firms, and established finance teams can upload source files and receive structured Excel workpapers while keeping the review process familiar as workloads increase.

On security, Aprilis encrypts data in transit over HTTPS with secure session cookies and isolates files and projects by account. Customer documents are not sold, shared, or used to train models.
