AI for finance teams

Month-end close, expense triage, and reporting QA — without losing the review trail.

Finance is where unreliable AI output gets caught. We design workflows where structured inputs feed an AI draft, the team validates against tiered checks, and the close ships on schedule with the audit trail intact.

Compressed

Close cycle with AI handling first-pass reconciliation drafts

Exception-only

Escalation to senior finance staff

Auditable

Every AI-assisted step has a documented review trail

Outcomes here are described qualitatively — finance engagements move on cycle time, exception load, and reporting consistency, and we design the measurement loop into the rollout.

The problem

Finance can't accept AI without a verifiable review trail.

Most finance AI pitches assume the team will simply trust the output. They will not — and they shouldn't. The work is to design AI into the parts of the close, the triage, and the reporting cycle where the review path is already strong, then make that path explicit.

The workflow

The operating path for finance work.

Each step has an explicit owner, a controlled AI role, and a review point before the output becomes operational.

01Input

Structured input

Facts, context, and constraints captured before any model call.

02AI draft

AI draft

Model produces a first pass against a documented standard.

03Review

Human review

Operator checks output against a tiered quality checklist.

04Approval

Approval gate

Owner signs off, or escalates the exception path.

05Delivery

Delivery

Result lands in the system of record with audit trail.

Structured inputs from your ledger and policy library feed the AI draft. The team validates against a checklist before any number ships to leadership or the board.

FAQ

The questions finance leaders ask first.

Will AI touch the general ledger directly?
No. AI drafts. Humans approve. The workflow assumes nothing posts without an explicit owner signing off, and that owner sees the AI rationale alongside the draft.
What about regulator and audit posture?
The review trail is the design goal — not a side effect. Every AI-assisted step records its inputs, prompt, model, and the reviewer who approved the output.
How does this integrate with our existing ERP?
We don't replace your ERP. We wrap a workflow around it. The AI step lives in the workflow tool you choose; the system of record stays where it is.
