EY US and Rillet Partner to Embed Controls Into Finance Automation
EY US has partnered with Rillet, an AI-native accounting software provider, to help companies modernise finance operations by building controls and automation directly into core accounting processes.
The alliance targets organisations that have outgrown mid-market ERP systems and need more scalable finance models. It combines EY's expertise in finance transformation, technology consulting, and risk management with Rillet's general-ledger-first platform.
What the partnership covers
The joint offering addresses routine finance activities where control gaps typically emerge:
- Journal entry posting
- Reconciliations
- Revenue recognition
- Financial close
- Report preparation
Rather than treating risk and controls as a separate workstream, the alliance embeds them into transformation from the start, according to the companies.
The control advantage
Nic Kopp, Rillet's co-founder and CEO, said that when AI is built into accounting logic from the ground up, "controls don't just keep pace - they become stronger, more continuous and more defensible under audit."
Michael Flynn, EY US' alliance leader, said the approach helps clients build finance functions that are "not just faster and smarter but genuinely resilient" - addressing the pressure finance leaders face to improve speed and insight while managing complexity and risk.
Finance teams looking to modernise their operations may want to explore AI for Finance resources or consider an AI Learning Path for Accountants to understand how automation affects their role.
