    "longDescription": "Every quarter or year-end, the accountant walks down the balance sheet line by line — opening balance, closing balance, what moved, why it moved, does the reconciliation status of the underlying account match the story. Cash should tie to the bank rec. Receivables should tie to the aged trial balance. The fixed asset register accumulated depreciation should agree with the GL. Manual journals on equity should be traceable to a board minute. It's a structured walk with a small number of recurring questions.\n\nXBert Balance Sheet Explain runs that walk for you. It pulls the comparative balance sheet, the reconciliation status of every account, the aged receivables and payables, the fixed asset register accumulated depreciation, and the manual journal trace — then produces a Word narrative review that flags unexpected movers, opens-and-closes account status, and the underlying evidence. It's a structural review, not an opinion — every observation has a number behind it and a confidence label.",
