AI Automation for Finance & Accounting
Deploy AI assistants trained on your own documents, SOPs, and pricing — answering staff questions and reducing manual knowledge work.
Why finance & accounting businesses choose this
AI Automation built for finance & accounting
Accounting firms and finance teams spend their most expensive hours on data entry, invoice chasing, and manual reconciliation instead of advisory work. Month-end closes stretch for days when they could take hours, and AP/AR follow-ups consume staff time that should drive client value. Automating these workflows on Microsoft 365 turns repetitive processing into reliable, hands-off operations.
Reduce month-end close time by up to 40% with automated reconciliation
Recover 8-12 billable hours per week lost to AR chasing and data entry
Consolidate multi-entity reporting into live dashboards updated in real time
How it works
What we actually build and deliver
We index your existing documents — SOPs, pricing files, policies, email templates — into a secure knowledge base inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. Then we deploy an AI assistant (via Teams, SharePoint, or a custom interface) that your team can ask questions in plain English. The assistant reads your documents, finds the relevant answer, and cites the source. No data leaves your environment. We handle the prompt engineering, testing, and deployment. Your team gets a working tool, not a prototype.
The problem
What is slowing finance & accounting businesses down
Month-end close stuck in manual reconciliation
Accountants spend days exporting, copying, and cross-checking spreadsheets when most of that work could be automated.
AP/AR chasing consuming too much staff time
Following up unpaid invoices and approving supplier payments is repetitive. Every hour spent on it is an hour not spent on advisory work.
No consolidated view across clients or entities
Each client or entity has its own spreadsheet. Getting a picture of performance across the portfolio means manual work every time.

FAQ
Common questions
What documents can the AI read?
PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, SharePoint pages, and email templates. We can also connect to data in Lists or CRM systems via API.
How accurate are the answers?
The AI cites sources for every answer, so your team can verify. We tune the prompts during setup to minimise hallucination and test against real scenarios before launch.
Can we control what the AI can and cannot answer?
Yes. We configure topic boundaries and response guardrails during setup. You can update these at any time via an admin panel.
Can this connect to Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks?
Yes. Power Automate has native connectors for Xero and MYOB, and connects to QuickBooks via API.
Is financial data secure inside Microsoft 365?
Yes. Everything runs inside your tenant. Microsoft 365 is enterprise-grade and meets Australian Privacy Act requirements.
Can AI actually read and extract data from invoices?
Yes. AI Builder inside the Power Platform can extract line items, totals, ABNs, and supplier names from PDFs with high accuracy.
