FOR CFOs
Your AP/AR cycles are costing you 6+ hours weekly—and delaying cash visibility
Manual invoice processing = slow close, audit risk, and hidden cash flow issues.
→ Automate invoice processing, payment tracking, and financial reporting with 99.5% accuracy

FOR CONTROLLERS
Month-end close still takes 10+ days because of manual reconciliation
You need audit-ready workflows, but manual processes leave gaps.
→ Accelerate close cycles by 38%, maintain compliance, and create audit trails automatically

FOR COOs
Operational bottlenecks are buried in repetitive data entry and handoffs
Your team is stuck in low-value admin work instead of solving strategic problems.
→ Eliminate workflow bottlenecks, automate handoffs, and free your team for high-impact work

FOR OWNERS
You want to scale operations without proportionally scaling headcount
Every new customer or product line adds manual complexity you can't afford.
→ Leverage AI to scale revenue operations, onboarding, and reporting—without adding FTEs

10 Common Questions from CFOs, Controllers, COOs, and Owners
Implementation‑first. We build inside your stack, prove ROI fast, and keep iterating—this is not set‑and‑forget technology.
Guardrails by design. Every workflow includes:
- Human-in-the-loop approvals for exceptions and high-value decisions
- Structured validation rules (e.g., invoice totals, GL codes, vendor matching)
- Audit trails for every action—who approved what, when, and why
- Confidence scoring and fallback routing when the system is uncertain
We don’t automate judgment calls. We automate repetitive tasks and surface exceptions to your team with full context.
We work inside your existing environment:
- Finance/ERP: QuickBooks (Desktop/Online), Sage (50/100/300/Intacct), SAP, NetSuite, Yardi, Xero
- CRM/Sales: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive
- Productivity: Excel, Google Sheets, M365 (Copilot-ready), Google Workspace
- Operations: Airtable, Monday, ClickUp, SharePoint, shared drives, email/chat
No rip-and-replace. We orchestrate what you already pay for.
8–12 weeks for measurable impact. Typical outcomes:
- AP/AR automation: 30–50% cycle-time reduction, 99%+ match accuracy
- Lead response: <5-minute response time (was hours/days)
- Compliance doc prep: 60–80% time savings vs. manual assembly
Your KPI dashboard tracks before/after deltas in real time. Finance validates the numbers—no guesswork.
Built-in safeguards:
- Exception routing — Uncertain cases go to your team for review
- Rollback capability — Revert changes if something breaks
- Version control — Every automation is documented and tracked
- Human overrides — Your team has final authority on every decision
We log everything. If an error happens, we trace it, fix it, and prevent recurrence.
We operate in your tenant with enterprise-grade controls:
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Role-based access (least privilege)
- Audit logs for every action (who, what, when)
- SOC 2 / GDPR / CCPA alignment where required
- No data extraction — your data stays in your systems
For regulated workflows (HIPAA, SOX, financial controls), we follow your DLP and retention policies.
Top 4 risks + mitigations:
- Data quality issues → We profile data early and flag gaps before build
- Access delays → Pre-flight checklist ensures credentials are ready
- Unmodeled exceptions → Human-in-the-loop handles edge cases
- Adoption resistance → Staged rollout + training + visible quick wins
We surface risks early. No surprises.
A time-boxed starter use case with clear success criteria.
We select one high-volume, rules-based workflow (e.g., invoice matching in QuickBooks, lead enrichment in HubSpot, or PO approvals in Sage) and deliver:
- Sample data pack (25–100 records for testing)
- UAT script with pass/fail gates
- Rollback plan if acceptance criteria aren’t met
- 4–6 week delivery window
We don’t scale until the pilot hits KPIs. Low risk, measurable proof, fast iteration.
Your tenant, your controls—we don’t extract or store your data.
- Data at rest: Encrypted in your QuickBooks, Sage, SAP, NetSuite, Yardi, HubSpot, M365, Google Workspace environments
- Data in motion: TLS 1.2+ for API calls; ephemeral processing only
- Access controls: Role-based (RBAC), least-privilege, SSO/SCIM where supported
- Audit logs: Every action tracked (who, what, when) in your logging system
We provide data-flow diagrams and RBAC matrices so your IT/security teams can validate before build. Compliance-ready for SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA (administrative use cases only).
Field-level controls, minimization, and audit-ready deletion.
- PII/PHI taxonomy: We classify fields (names, SSNs, financial accounts) and apply masking/redaction
- Minimization: Only collect what’s needed for the workflow
- Retention schedules: Align to your DLP policies (e.g., 7 years for invoices, 90 days for logs)
- Right-to-be-forgotten: Deletion workflows with audit evidence for GDPR/CCPA requests
For finance/ops workflows (AP/AR, lead routing, doc assembly), we rarely touch PII/PHI—but when we do, it’s logged, masked, and governed by your policies.
