Use case

Finance Automation

Invoices, expenses, and contracts arrive in inconsistent formats - so month-end close depends on heroic manual review.

The challenge

  • Data entry errors propagate to ERP and tax filings when staff re-key PDFs under deadline pressure.
  • Approvers lack context: they see totals but not the line items or policy exceptions that explain variances.
  • Auditors ask for evidence trails linking each posting to source documents and authorized sign-offs.

The AgentWorks solution

AgentWorks extraction agents pull structured fields from PDFs, scans, and email attachments, then match purchase orders and vendor master data. Exceptions - duplicate invoices, unknown VAT IDs, or unusual amounts - surface as tasks instead of silent failures.

Contract reviewer agents highlight non-standard clauses, renewal terms, and missing signatures so legal and finance agree before commitment. Expense agents categorize receipts against policy, flag weekend charges or missing attendees, and package narratives approvers can trust.

Nothing posts without explicit human authorization for the tiers you configure. That preserves segregation of duties while still removing the drudgery of prep work. Logs capture who approved what and which agent suggestions were accepted or edited.

Over time, your exception queue shrinks as vendors adopt cleaner formats and agents learn your house rules. Finance shifts capacity from typing to analysis - variance commentary, cash forecasting, and partner conversations that actually move the business.

Workflow in four steps

  1. Capture documents

    Ingest invoices, receipts, and contracts from inboxes, portals, or SFTP drops.

  2. Extract & match

    Agents structure line items, match POs, and validate tax and vendor data against master records.

  3. Flag exceptions

    Policy breaches and mismatches route to specialists with side-by-side source and suggestion.

  4. Approve & post

    Authorized users release entries to ERP with immutable audit metadata attached.

Relevant agents

Start from proven templates - each opens a full detail page with deployment notes and related agents.

Results & benefits

  • Fewer manual keystrokes

    Finance analysts spend less time on data entry and more on judgment work.

  • Cleaner approvals

    Approvers receive summarized context and policy callouts instead of raw PDFs alone.

  • Audit-friendly records

    Source documents, agent extractions, and human sign-off stay linked for review.
