What can the accounting team ask for?

- Match this invoice against the purchase order.
- Summarise the payables falling due this week.
- Prepare this month's expense report.
What the AI Finance & Accounting Agent can do
- 1
Read and extract document details
Recognises the fields on invoices, receipts, payment vouchers or other supported documents and fills them into a form for staff to check.
- 2
Check that a file is complete
Spots missing fields, documents that have not been attached or content that does not match the rules your business has set.
- 3
Match invoices against purchase orders
Compares supplier, quantity, unit price and total value across the documents.
- 4
Flag documents that look like duplicates
Cross-checks invoice number, supplier, date and amount to mark the files that need a closer look.
- 5
Prepare payment requests
Gathers the details and supporting documents and moves the file through the approval steps your business uses.
- 6
Track payables and due dates
Summarises what is falling due from the connected data, prepares the list to work through and sends reminders based on approved rules.
- 7
Consolidate costs and reports
Prepares reports by period, department, project or cost group from data that has already been reconciled.
- 8
Control access and keep a processing history
Records how far each file has moved, who needs to check it and what was changed, within the scope of the system delivered.

Check the payment file for supplier A for me.
I found a matching set of documents in the sample data. I will compare the invoice with the purchase order and check the attachments.

Invoice value
25.000.000đ
Purchase order value
24.500.000đ
Difference
500.000đ
The file has a difference in value and needs the person in charge to verify it before it goes for approval.
Create a review request for the purchasing team.
I will prepare a review request with both documents and the difference. Please confirm who should handle it before I send it.

How is it different from accounting software?
Accounting software
AI Finance & Accounting Agent
Stores and processes transactions through system functions
Helps read, search and prepare information from several sources
Users enter and check data through forms
Helps extract details and flag what needs checking
Has a formal process for recording transactions
Prepares files and passes them to the authorised person
Provides the reports that have been set up
Answers questions and pulls reports together on request
The Agent does not replace accounting software: the software remains the system of record, and the Agent works alongside it.
