For US firms on Jaz
Documents into Jaz, the close checked and reviewed, every period signed by a person, and bank data from Plaid on the way.
A US client's month, by industry
Pick the kind of client you serve most. Each is a sample company's October in Mendiola, using only what US firms have today: documents into Jaz, proposals that wait for you, the closing review and the firm agent.

Four: J. Ortiz (14,400.00), A. Lee (8,250.00), P. Raman (2,900.00) and K. Moss (1,850.00), read from the bills in Jaz. Worth checking against your 1099 list.
Bank data through Plaid is built and coming soon. Until then, bank lines come from Jaz.
Your clients' books live in Jaz
Mendiola works on Jaz. If a client keeps books elsewhere today, they move to Jaz first; we will say plainly what that takes for your firm.
Bank data, read-only
Connect a client's bank through Plaid and read its accounts and posted transactions. It is built and tested, and not released yet; nothing from it is written to the ledger.
Where your data sits
Mendiola's own database is in Singapore today, beside Jaz, which keeps every organization's books in Singapore. The security page lists what runs where.
Built by a US practice
DoubleRule, the practice that built Mendiola, has served US small businesses since 2013 from Cypress, California and Clark, Philippines.
What your firm gets
Labelled from our own release records. Early access means it is in production and we switch it on for your firm.
Documents to Jaz
Clients' bills and receipts arrive from their Drive folders or by upload. Mendiola reads each one and sends it to Jaz as a draft for your team.
AvailableClose monitoring and sign-off
Every client's period on one board: open, review requested, in review, signed off. A partner signs a period off; Mendiola warns about anything still open and never signs for you.
AvailableClosing review
Mendiola reads the period's books, computes every statement line against the comparative and raises a query, with its figures, for anything it cannot explain.
AvailableAutomated close
On a schedule you set, Mendiola runs the close checks for each month, proposes bank matches and drafts accruals. A person approves each proposal before anything reaches Jaz.
Early accessPeriod lock
After sign-off, an admin locks the books in Jaz through the month end, one button and one date, with every account read back to prove it held.
Early accessBank data through Plaid
Connect a client's bank once and read its accounts and posted transactions, read-only, with exports. Nothing is written to the ledger from here.
Coming soonFirm agents
Ask about a client's books in plain words. Agents read and draft; a change in Jaz waits for your click on a confirmation, and nothing is ever sent on your behalf.
AvailableFirm brain
Your firm's own procedures as skills, and every supplier your firm has seen across its companies, kept inside the firm.
AvailableActivity log
Every change names who made it: a person, or Mendiola on a person's behalf. The log is append-only.
AvailableQuestions US firms ask us
Kept the way Mendiola keeps a reviewer's queries: each one raised, answered, and signed. Open any of them.
Q-01Do my clients' books have to move to Jaz?Answered
Yes. Mendiola works on one ledger, Jaz, sold as Juan in the Philippines. Companies already there can start at once; the rest move first. We'll say plainly what that takes for your firm in the walkthrough.
Q-02Does an AI model change my clients' books?Answered
No. Models read documents and draft words. Code computes every figure you review. A change reaches the ledger only when a person approves it, and sending is off for each company until an admin turns it on.
Q-03What happens when Mendiola is wrong?Answered
Every proposal shows its reason, so a reviewer can see why before approving. A rejected proposal sends nothing. Sign-off stays a person's, and every change names who made it in an append-only activity log.
Q-04Will you sell to my clients?Answered
No. Our only customers are accounting firms. Mendiola never sells to a firm's clients, and your clients' data never feeds DoubleRule's own sales.
Q-05Can every member of my staff see every company?Answered
No. Members work on the companies they are assigned to. A company marked private is seen only by the person who created it; another admin gets the same answer as a stranger.
Q-06Where is our data kept?Answered
Mendiola's database and web application run in Singapore, and background jobs in the United States. Jaz keeps every organization's books in Singapore, US companies included. The security page maps every service.
Q-07Can we connect our US clients' banks?Answered
Bank data through Plaid is built and tested, and not released yet. It will be read-only, and nothing from it is written to the ledger. Until then, bank lines come from Jaz as they do today.
Q-08What does it cost?Answered
Per organization, per month: US$40 for a firm in the United States, PHP 2,000 for a firm in the Philippines, with every module for your country. A subsidiary of one of your clients is free in any month it has fewer than 200 transactions; with 200 or more, it costs the same as any organization. Alpha firms pay nothing until launch. See the pricing page to work out your month.
