What "automating finance back office with AI" actually means

Automating finance back office with AI is not a single product you buy. It is a workflow you redesign around AI as the operating layer. The agent handles the high-volume, high-structure tasks. Humans handle edge cases, exceptions, and trust-sensitive decisions. The system is instrumented to measure close cycle time, exception rate, invoice processing cost, and forecast variance and improve weekly.

What changes by industry is the systems the agent integrates with, the data it retrieves over, the controls it operates under, and the KPIs it has to defend. The architecture is similar; the integration and the controls are different.

The architecture we use for AI finance back office

  • Frontier LLM — Claude, GPT-4-class, or Gemini. We benchmark candidates on a labelled test set during Discovery.
  • Retrieval layer over your approved internal sources, with source citations on every output.
  • Tool use for reads and writes against your operational stack (CRM, ERP, ticketing, data warehouse).
  • Reviewer queue for low-confidence outputs. Confidence thresholds set per workflow.
  • Evaluation harness — labelled test set, weekly accuracy reports, regression alerts.
  • Versioned prompts and reviewer-action audit logs for traceability.

Frequently asked questions

How do you automate finance back office with AI?+

We map your existing finance back office workflow, identify high-volume and high-structure tasks, build an AI agent that handles those tasks, and route low-confidence cases to a human reviewer. The build connects to the systems your industry already runs on, runs against a labelled test set, and ships behind a reviewer queue before it sees production traffic. We measure close cycle time, exception rate, invoice processing cost, and forecast variance from day one and improve weekly.

What is the best AI agent for finance back office?+

There is no single off-the-shelf "best" agent for finance back office — the right architecture depends on the systems and data of your industry. We typically combine a frontier LLM (Claude, GPT-4-class, or Gemini) with a retrieval layer over your approved sources, tool-use for your stack, and a reviewer queue. We benchmark candidates against a labelled test set during Discovery and pick the model with the best accuracy/cost ratio.

What does AI finance back office cost?+

Three phases, billed separately. Discovery sprint: $6k. Build engagement: $20k–$28k. Run retainer: $2.5k–$4k / mo. ~$32k–$58k typical year 1 (60% take the run option for ~6 months). Pricing varies slightly by industry — see the industry-specific pages below.

How long does it take to deploy AI finance back office?+

Thin-slice in production in ~6 weeks after Discovery, full Build phase over 6-10 weeks. By day 90, close cycle time, exception rate, invoice processing cost, and forecast variance is instrumented and you have a baseline against which to expand to adjacent workflows.

Which industries do you build AI finance back office for?+

13 industries listed below have a scoped engagement page for finance back office, each with industry-specific systems, controls, and KPIs. Common starting industries include Healthcare Providers, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Retail, Automotive, and others. Don't see yours? We build for any sector — tell us about your workflow and we'll scope it.

What do we own, and what do you own?+

We own workflow design, prompts, retrieval architecture, evaluation harness, and weekly improvement. You own data access, policy, exception approval, and final commercial decisions. At the end of the engagement, every prompt, eval, and config is handed over — no lock-in.
