Finance, with AI. A 30-day pilot you can measure.

Pilot finance preparation, not finance approval. AI can flag invoice and spend exceptions or draft variance notes; finance keeps payment, reporting and supplier decisions.

What the AI prepares

What the model drafts in a finance pilot, and where a person steps in.

  • Invoice checks

    Invoice lines are checked against supplier, threshold and purchase-order rules.

  • Spend anomalies

    Spend anomalies are grouped for finance review, never auto-approved.

  • Variance commentary

    Monthly variance commentary is drafted from approved numbers with assumptions shown.

  • Policy answers

    Policy questions are answered from source finance notes, with escalation for judgement calls.

Why payments stay with a person

UK businesses lost £28m to fake invoices and changed bank details in 2025. The AI prepares the checks; a person approves every payment.

Finance AI use has levelled off

58% of finance functions used AI in 2024 and 59% in 2025. The easy wins are taken; the next ones need controlled workflows.

Employers ahead of their finance staff

Nearly half of UK finance employers recommend AI, but only a quarter of finance staff use it at work.

    Finance lead.

  4. 04

    Never without approval

Common questions

Can the AI act on its own?

No. It prepares drafts and checks. A person signs off before any of this happens: payment approval, supplier commitment, board or audit statements.

What does it cost to start?

The AI Rollout Diagnostic is £1,500 fixed and takes two weeks. You get a clear answer for this workflow: build, pause, clean up first or do nothing.

How do we know it worked?

Track review time, false positives, missed exceptions, rework and sign-off notes. The pilot is kept only if those numbers improve.
