Fund it, build it, book it —
on one set of numbers.
Agents read what arrives, check it against the books, and hand you the entry to approve.
in projects run on cellect$100M+
For developers running several projects, several entities and one set of books.
One record for the deal, the build and the books.
Investment management, construction and accounting in one place, not three. One set of numbers, whoever is asking — the sponsor, the team on site, or the people who funded it.
- for the sponsor
- Scenario models, debt schedules and waterfalls on one set of numbers.
- for the team building it
- Budgets, draws and change orders, current while you can still act on them.
- for the people keeping the books
- Invoices read, transactions matched, entries proposed for approval.
- for the people who funded it
- Investor statements and data rooms built from live project data.
what is on the books what the agent proposes
One invoice, and the entry it proposes.
Where a document goes after it arrives.
Work arrives from the places it already lands.
Email is polled every two minutes. SharePoint channels, the Drive mirror, Slack threads, the bank feed and vendors uploading to their own portal all arrive the same way.
Six inboxes watched, not one drop zone.
Every document is read and checked against the books.
Classification, field and line extraction, five OCR backends, orientation, vendor resolution and cost coding — twenty-two workers in six groups. Bank transactions are matched against ledger lines, invoices, commitments and cash events.
What leaves the building is assembled from the same records.
Rooms, packages and drafts are built from the project itself, not collected by hand the week they are due.
The entry is written before anyone opens it.
How sure the agent is decides who gets asked to look at it. A confident match goes to the accountant; an unclear one goes back to the person who knows what the money was for.
Numbers move together, and nothing is lost when they change.
Twenty-two kinds of record are versioned. Change an assumption and every report moves; the old one is still there.
Three products, one record underneath.

Nothing posts on its own — every entry comes back for you to approve. Answers are computed against the books as they stand, not a copy.
Approvers are set for the company and for each project. Nothing automated runs until it is switched on.
The tie-out between QuickBooks, AppFolio and Cellect is a stored reference, not a hope.
