Finance AI
Finance AI is a worker that supports finance operations — preparing invoices, assisting reconciliation, classifying financial documents and drafting reports. It reduces repetitive finance admin, but it does not independently authorise payments; any payment or financial commitment requires explicit governance and human approval.

Frequently asked questions
- Can Finance AI make payments?
