Finance agents

Finance agents that see what's on site, bill what's been earned, and forecast what hits your account.

Live workflow

From invoice received to ERP — in seconds.

The finance agent handles payment matching end-to-end: it reads the remittance, matches invoices, flags discrepancies for review, and posts results to your ERP.

Live workflow

Operations and finance, in sync.

The agent connects what's happening on site — BOQ progress, WCCs, contractor milestones — to finance in real time. No certificate, no payment moves.

How it runs

From documents in to decisions out.

Each agent starts with a small set of operating actions, clear escalation, and visible ownership.

The pipeline

Capture

Invoices arrive by email or ERP feed; the agent extracts lines, terms and references.

Match

Each line is checked against the PO and goods receipt — totals, tax, freight and payment terms included.

Classify

Discrepancies are typed: price variance, quantity over-billing, uninstructed charges, terms conflicts.

Draft

A resolution email to the vendor is drafted, listing only what is wrong and what is needed to fix it.

Approve

The AP owner reviews, edits and sends. Nothing leaves without a human.

Agent actions

01

BOQ-linked collections follow-up

Collections follow-up is tied to certified progress on the BOQ, so what's chased matches what's actually been earned.

02

AP invoice matching & dispute triage

Every invoice line is matched to its PO and goods receipt, and every mismatch is typed and quoted, not just flagged.

03

Cash-flow forecasting

Cash-flow forecasts are built from the same reconciled data, so the number reflects what's really been billed and received.

What it reads, does and shows

Reads

  • Vendor invoices (PDF, email body, ERP feed)
  • Purchase orders and goods receipts
  • Contract payment terms
  • Statements and aging exports

Does

  • Types every discrepancy with both values quoted
  • Drafts vendor resolution emails and credit-note requests
  • Tracks disputed lines to closure

Shows

  • A line-by-line match table
  • A discrepancy summary ranked by exposure
  • A ready-to-send resolution draft

Workflow trace

Illustrative walkthrough — not a client result

A steel supplier invoices against PO-4471. The agent matches it line by line.

Match

Binding wire: 200 coils at 95 — identical on both documents.

Mismatch

16mm rebar billed at 120 tons against 100 tons ordered — 20 tons over-billed.

Mismatch

12mm rebar priced at 2,780/ton against the PO rate of 2,650/ton.

Mismatch

A freight surcharge was added; the PO terms say DDP, freight included.

Action

Resolution email drafted requesting a corrected invoice; payment held.

What changes once the agent runs it

Invoice checking

Spot checks when time allows

Every line matched, every time

Disputes

Back-and-forth threads written from scratch

A drafted resolution email with the exact figures quoted

Payment terms

Terms drift unnoticed between PO and invoice

Terms conflicts flagged before payment

Controls

Production means the team can trust it.

The system is designed with human review, evaluation, auditability, permissions, and monitoring before expansion.

Human-in-the-loop stays visible.

The agent handles the repetitive path. People still own approvals, exceptions, and high-risk decisions.
