# CFOsquared > CFOsquared helps finance leaders adopt AI. We set up your company brain, then build agents on it inside your systems. Start with the free GAAPx Score. --- # Homepage Source: https://www.cfosquared.com/ AI agents for finance teams # Audit-Grade AI for Finance. Built by people who’ve actually run the books. Zero migrations, zero model lock-in, and full auditor traceability. [Book a working session](https://www.cfosquared.com/contact) | [Take the free GAAPx Score](https://www.gaapx.com) ## Where agents can be deployed - **Finance operations**: Billing and collections, accruals, reconciliations, the close and reporting. - **Procurement**: Vendor onboarding checks and purchase requests sent to the right approver. - **Revenue operations**: CRM clean-up, deal desk reviews, pipeline reports and forecasts. - **Compliance and audit support**: Policy checks, audit documents, deadlines and exceptions. We build each agent with you. Your people review what it prepares. ## Agents for the whole department, not just one task. One automation that drafts one email saves a few minutes. We design agent systems that carry a process from intake to review to reporting, then take on the next process. Over time, the repeat work across your department moves off your team's desks, and your people spend their week on judgment. Built to fit: three things you do not have to take on. ### Zero migrations We build inside the systems you already run. Nothing to rip out and nothing to move. ### Zero black box Agents draft and your team reviews. Your policies stay in your own space, behind your own login. ### Zero lock-in We hand over written steps and the policies each agent works from, and your team runs it. ## From one process to the whole department. We start small, prove it with your team, move it into production, then take on the next process. Every agent is tracked in one register. You decide the order. ### STEP 1: See where you stand The free GAAPx Score shows your stage in nine finance areas, from Manual to Agentic. [Get your free GAAPx Score](https://www.gaapx.com) ### STEP 2: Build the company brain An AI analyst agent interviews your team and drafts your policies and workflows. Your team reviews every draft. [Start building the company brain](https://www.cfosquared.com/contact) ### STEP 3: Prove it on one process We build one agent with your team, inside your systems. A pilot typically runs two days to a week, sometimes a couple of weeks. ### STEP 4: Deploy to production The agent moves into your live systems. Your team reviews its output, and you get written steps for how it runs. ### STEP 5: Extend across the department One process after another, with your team running each agent after we hand it over. Examples: Collections, Cash application, Billing check, Month-end close. ### STEP 6: Track your agents Every agent is listed in one register, with an owner role, a state and a risk level. You can see how much a person stays involved in each. We scope each step with you. Around the agents we also help with a first audit, financial statements, transaction readiness and technical accounting. ## See how far AI has reached into your finance work.

Your team's knowledge sits in documents and in people's heads. The company brain gathers it into one place, so agents work the way your team works. - **Accounting policies**: How you recognize revenue, handle accruals and run the close checklist. - **Workflows**: The repeat processes in your close, payables, billing and reporting, step by step. - **Tribal knowledge**: The workarounds and "we always do it this way" that nobody has documented yet. [Learn more about the Company Brain](https://www.cfosquared.com/products/company-brain) ## See every AI asset, agents included, in one register. As you add agents, you need to know what is running, who owns it and how much a person stays involved. The register keeps that in one place. - Each asset has an owner role, a state and a risk level. - The level of human involvement is recorded for each agent. - A relationship map shows what an asset uses, what uses it and who works on it. ## Common questions ### Will this replace my team? No. The agent takes repeat work, and your people review what it produces and decide what to do with it. We build with your team, and the steps stay yours. ### Do we have to change our systems? We build inside the systems you already run. ### Who runs the agents after you build them? Your team. We hand each agent over with the policies it works from. ### What is the Company Brain? The Company Brain is your policies, use cases and know-how, the way you work, in one place, so an agent works from what your team works from. An agent drafts them from interviews, recordings and documents, and your team reviews and finalizes them. Your policies sit behind your own login, and CFOsquared people see them only if you add them as users. ## See where you stand. Take the free GAAPx Score, then pick the first process to take on.

Any team can try AI this week. Getting it into the close takes a little more. ### Your own rules. An AI tool that has never read your revenue policy answers from general knowledge. The Company Brain collects your accounting policies, your use cases and the know-how your senior accountant carries, so an agent works the way your company does. [See the Company Brain](https://www.cfosquared.com/products/company-brain) ### Steps drafted by an agent. (Service) A good answer in a chat window still has to be copied somewhere. A workflow names the steps, the system, the person who reviews and the point where the work is finished. An agent interviews your team and drafts those steps for the close, order to cash, revenue recognition, accruals, reporting and payables. Your team reviews them.

One page to see what your agents are doing and what waits on a person. It is coming soon. You cannot log into it today. ### Are these the GAAPx agents? No. Creating agents for your business is a CFOsquared service, built with your team.

The Score shows where you stand, the Company Brain holds what agents read from, and the agents follow. If you already know your first process, book a working session. ### Who decides what an agent does? Your finance team. You choose the processes, the steps an agent takes on and what a person reviews. We help you draw those lines and build to them. ### Do we have to replace our systems? We build the agents inside the systems you already run. ### Is the Score an audit?

Spend (accounts payable), Billing (contract to cash), RevRec (revenue recognition), Payroll, The Close (month-end close), Budget vs Actual, Treasury (cash and banking), Controls and Reporting. Each area has four questions about steps, loops, people and waiting time. You pick the answer closest to how your team works. ## Five stages, from Manual to Agentic. Manual, Digitized, Automating, Agent-assisted and Agentic. Your team can sit at a different stage in each area. The Score shows where, so you can choose where to begin. Self-assessed. The Agentic stage rests on your own answers, and GAAPx does not verify it. ## Your score points at a process. If The Close sits at Digitized and Spend sits at Manual, you know which process to look at first. The Company Brain is the next piece, and agents follow it. [See the Company Brain](https://www.cfosquared.com/products/company-brain) ## How to read your result The Score reflects your own answers, so it shows how your team sees itself.

An agent drafts those steps and your policies, and your team reviews and finalizes them in the Company Brain. Agents then follow your close checklist and your coding rules. ## Who sees it Your policies stay in your own space, behind your own login. CFOsquared people see your Company Brain only if you add them as users. ## How the Brain gets filled An agent interviews your team and drafts your policies. It can also read the recorded walkthroughs and the documents you already have, and existing policies can be loaded in directly.

Each line describes what we design toward with a client. None is a reported result. - The close. The entries, reconciliations and checklists your team rebuilds every month. We design toward a month-end that finishes faster, runs nearly on its own, or runs continuously, with your people keeping the judgment calls. - Order to cash. Billing and collections, from contract to cash, including the Salesforce data that feeds the books. Follow-ups and billing steps go out on time. - Revenue recognition. The steps from a signed contract to recognized revenue, drafted with your team and your revenue policy. - Accruals. The monthly estimates and the support behind them, with the reasoning kept where your team can find it. - Reporting. Management reports and board packs built from data your team trusts. Your team's time goes to explaining the numbers. - Audit support. The schedules and evidence an audit request asks for, so your team can answer from what is already on file. - Accounts payable. Invoice intake, coding and routing, so invoices stop waiting for someone to find an hour. ## Revenue accounting has its own home GAAPx Revenue is for revenue accounting. GAAPx Revenue is the revenue agentic operating system for revenue accounting and revenue recognition. It lives at its own website, gaapx.ai, which opens in a new tab.

A worked example of the kind of agent we build. It does not report a client result. ## A deal desk agent that tells the right people what to look at. (Worked example) This page describes how the agent is designed. It does not report results from any client. A deal sits in Salesforce with a close date a few weeks out. Nobody has asked legal about the termination clause, operations about the delivery date, or finance about the payment terms. By the time someone does, the quarter is nearly over. The agent reads the opportunities, flags the risk, and sends each flag to the person who owns it. A person decides what happens next. 1. Pull. The agent pulls opportunities from Salesforce. 2. Select. It keeps the opportunities that are not closing in the next 10 days. 3. Check. For each one it looks for legal, operational and finance risk. Examples of a flag: a clause outside your standard terms, a delivery date that depends on another team, payment terms that differ from your policy. 4. Send. It posts the flags in Slack to the people who own each kind of risk. Legal reads the legal flags, operations the operational ones, finance the finance ones. 5. Decide. A person reads each flag and decides what to do. The agent's work ends at the flag. ### What your team controls. In a build with us, you choose which opportunities the agent reads, what counts as a risk, and who receives each flag. Your policies can come from your Company Brain, so the flags follow your rules. ### Where it runs. It is designed for Salesforce and Slack. We partner with both.

Your client gets that knowledge when the work reaches close, revenue or controls. ## A starting point for your clients The GAAPx Score is free to take. A client can see where their finance team stands across nine areas before anyone writes a scope. ## Built on the tools they run We work with Claude and OpenAI models and connect to Google Cloud, Databricks, Snowflake and Microsoft. Your client keeps its own stack. ## The client runs what we build When we build an agent with a client, the client runs it afterwards. Each company's policies stay behind its own login. ## Who we work with Two kinds of firms. Both are welcome. ### Consulting, advisory and systems integration firms You lead finance, operations or transformation work for clients. You may want a team that builds agents and the knowledge behind them, or you may have a client that needs the finance depth we bring. We can join your engagement, or you can join ours. ### Technology companies You make software or data products that finance and operations teams use. You may want to see how agents work on top of your product, or you may know clients who need help getting there. Tell us what you have in mind. ## How we could work together We are early in working with other firms, so there is no fixed program. Tell us what you would like to explore and we will work out the rest together. **Something else.** You have a different idea. Tell us. ## What we look for 1. Work in finance or operations, or technology that finance and operations teams use. 2. A real client situation, or a clear idea, to start with. 3. Plain talk about who does what, and who owns the client relationship. 4. Respect for client data and each client's own rules. 5. A wish to help finance teams do more with fewer manual steps. ## Common questions ### Is there a partner program? Not at the moment. We are early in working with other firms, so we start with a conversation. ### Which technologies do you build on? We work with Claude and OpenAI models and connect to Google Cloud, Databricks, Snowflake and Microsoft, and to accounting systems such as QuickBooks and NetSuite. Product names belong to their owners. Building on a technology is not a partnership, and we do not speak for any of these companies. ### What would we agree on, and on what terms? We decide that together after we talk. Nothing on this page is an offer of terms. ### Can my clients try your work before we talk? Yes. Take the free GAAPx Score at gaapx.com. ### Who reads my inquiry? Our team reads it. ## Not sure where to start?

The person who understands the accounting question sits on the same team as the person who builds the fix, so your accountant never has to translate for an engineer. ## What we do We help finance leaders adopt AI and reorganize the whole finance department, so it can spend more of its week on finance operations and do more with less effort per task. We start with the company brain, the knowledge base your agents read from. Then we create the agents with you, inside your systems. Around that work we help with a first audit, financial statement structure, readiness for any transaction such as an IPO or an acquisition, fractional CFO work, technical accounting and Salesforce. See [services](https://www.cfosquared.com/services). ## How we work We work inside your process, with your data and your people. An agent interviews the team that runs the close to learn how it works today. We change the steps and the systems with them. Your people check the output. ## The team - Sheeba Thukral works on our Salesforce engagements. - Sunil works with clients on advisory engagements. ## What is real today Creating agents is a service. Our people build them with you and for you. The GAAPx Company Brain is your policies and the way you work, in one place, and it is live in beta. GAAPx AI is also live in beta: three agents of its own, an AI advisor, an AI architect and an AI forward deployed engineer. Each drafts, and your team decides. ## What we value - Trust. We say what we will do, what your team keeps, and what is outside our scope. - Your people stay in the loop. We build with your team, and your reviewers check what we produce. - Be human, be kind.

Source: https://www.cfosquared.com/about-us --- # Create the agents for your finance work We set up the company brain first. Then accountants and engineers build agents with you, inside your systems, and you run them. Someone on your team keys invoices, rebuilds the accrual and chases the same reconciliation every month. The work repeats, and it crowds out the work only your finance people can do. ## Three steps 1. Set up the company brain. The company brain is the knowledge base your agents read from. An agent interviews your team and drafts your accounting policies, your use cases and the know-how that lives in people's heads. It can also read the recorded walkthroughs and the documents you already have. Your team reviews and finalizes the drafts. 2. Create the agents. Our accountants and engineers build agents on top of the brain using frameworks, inside the systems you already run. We build them with you and for you, one process at a time. Your team runs them. 3. Run them. Your finance team works with the agents day to day. The aim is a lighter close for your team, with your people on the judgment calls. ## Where we start Each agent takes on one process. We start where your team spends the hours. - The close: the entries, reconciliations and checklists your team rebuilds each month. - Accounts payable: invoice intake, coding and routing. - Accounts receivable and billing: from contract to cash, including the Salesforce data that feeds the books. - Accruals: the monthly estimates and the support behind them. - Reporting: management reports built from data your team trusts. - Audit support: the schedules your auditor asks for. ## What goes into the company brain - Accounting policies: how you recognize revenue, how you handle accruals, what your close checklist says. - Use cases: the repeat processes in your close, payables, billing and reporting, set out step by step. - Tribal knowledge: the exceptions and workarounds the senior accountant knows and nobody has recorded. When you use the GAAPx Company Brain, your policies stay in your own space, behind your own login. ## Tools we work with We partner with Salesforce, Box, Anthropic and Slack. We also build on Google Cloud, Microsoft and other technology you already run. Salesforce is part of many engagements. See [Salesforce](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/salesforce). ## What is real today - Creating agents is a CFOsquared service, built with and for each client. - The GAAPx Company Brain is your policies and the way you work, in one place. It is a GAAPx product on its own login, and it is live in beta.

The workflow lives in three people's heads and four spreadsheets. Everyone agrees it should change, and nobody has the weeks to redraw it. We start with your score, so you can see where your finance work stands before anyone suggests a change. After that we do the work with you. CFOsquared is a small team of accountants and engineers. An AI agent interviews the people who run the process and drafts how it works. Your team reviews the draft, we change the process with you, and we hand it back so your team runs it. ## The journey 1. **Your score.** Take the free GAAPx Score. It shows your stage in nine areas, from Manual to Agentic. 2. **One process.** The score points to the area worth fixing first. You pick one process in it. 3. **The transformation.** We change that process with you, then the next, as far as you want to go. ## The solutions - [Start with your Score, then one process](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/first-process): Take the Score, pick one process, change it with us, and see the difference before you commit to more. - [Finance operations redesign](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/finance-operations): Map how the work runs today, remove what is only habit, rebuild the steps your team keeps. - [Create the agents](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/ai): Set up the company brain, then build agents with you for one process at a time. ## How we work 1. **Opportunity audit.** An agent interviews the people who run one process and drafts its steps, owners, systems and handoffs. Your team reviews them, and we rank the changes by value, risk and readiness. 2. **Redesign.** Each step goes into one of four groups: remove it, automate it with fixed rules, give it to an agent with your team involved, or keep it with a person because it needs judgment. 3. **Deploy.** We build it with you and train your team. Your team runs it after that. Your team reviews what we build. Formal audit opinions and tax opinions need a separately licensed CPA, and we say so before work starts. ## Where to start Take the free GAAPx Score.

The workflow lives in three people's heads and four spreadsheets. Everyone agrees it should change, and nobody has the weeks to redraw it. We do that work with you, one process or one area at a time. ## Map it with the people who run it We list the steps, owners, systems and handoffs with the people who do the work. ## The four groups Each step goes into one of four groups: - Remove it, if it exists only because of an old habit or an old system. - Rules-based automation, for steps with fixed inputs and one correct answer. - Agent-assisted, where an agent does the repeat work and your team stays involved. - Person-led, for steps that need professional judgment. Those stay with your team. ## Pick the few changes worth making We rank the changes by value, risk and readiness. You decide which ones go ahead and what stays with a person. ## Review the drafted steps and train We build the new steps with you, write the procedures, and train your team.

Your finance team has a process it keeps meaning to fix. The invoice coding, the monthly accrual, the reconciliation that someone rebuilds every close. Start with one. ## The score first The GAAPx Score is a free self-assessment. It shows your stage in nine areas, from Manual to Agentic, so you can see where you are and which area to fix first. The score shows a stage. It does not give a verdict. ## The process you keep meaning to fix Pick one process in that area. Invoice coding is a common one. So is a monthly accrual, or a reconciliation your team rebuilds each month. ## Why one One process is small enough to finish and real enough to judge. You see what a better process looks like before you commit to more. ## What the first conversation covers We ask which process you chose, who on your team owns it, and which systems it touches. You decide what stays a human step. ## What you end up with - The steps drafted and reviewed. - The redesigned process. - A plan for what comes next. - An agent or automation, if the process calls for one. ## Who does what You decide which process, who owns it, and what you keep as a human step. We build the written process and the redesigned steps. Your team runs it after that. ## Your first step Take the Score. Then send us the process and the systems it touches, and we reply with the questions we would ask your team. ## What comes after The next process, as far as you want to go.

You need a CFO's judgment on the board package, the close and the controls. You may not need a full-time salary yet, and a search can take months. ## What the role covers - The close and the monthly reporting that comes out of it. - Internal controls and the fixes behind audit findings. - Board and investor packages. - AI adoption: where agents fit in your department, and in what order. - Finance priorities for the next two quarters. ## How it works A fractional CFO is a part-time Chief Financial Officer, working inside your team on a set share of the week. Engagements run at quarter-time or half-time, on a day rate or a retainer. We agree the share and what you review together at the start. ## Why from us The same team that does the accounting builds the agents. Your fractional CFO can ask for the fix and get it built, and technical accounting questions go to colleagues down the hall. - [Create the agents](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/ai) for the repeat work. - [Finance transformation](https://www.cfosquared.com/capabilities/digital) for the department as a whole. - [First audit and statement structure](https://www.cfosquared.com/cfo-advisory/audit-readiness) before fieldwork. - [Readiness for any transaction](https://www.cfosquared.com/cfo-advisory/ipo-readiness) when a deal is ahead. - [Technical accounting](https://www.cfosquared.com/cfo-advisory/technical-accounting) for hard questions. ## Choose the first 90 days with a starting list Take the free GAAPx Score.

The PBC list arrives while your team is still closing the quarter. If it is your first audit, nobody on the team has seen the list before. Year-end audits have fixed dates and long lists, and the same people carry both. ## Your first audit - Walk through what an auditor will ask for, so the first request holds no surprises. - Manage the PBC list and coordinate with your auditors. - Name an owner for each open issue and track it. - Run communication with the auditors, so your team keeps its time for the close. ## We fix control gaps before fieldwork We find weaknesses in the finance function, simplify the steps, and improve the systems behind them. That helps this audit and the next one. ## Financial statement structure We set up how your statements are laid out and supported: the structure, the footnotes, the reconciliations behind them and the technical accounting memos that explain the hard calls. For public company reporting we support 10-K, 10-Q, S-1 and other filings.

A transaction puts your close, your controls and your systems in front of people who check everything. The time to find the gaps is before they do. An IPO, an acquisition or another deal each asks different questions, and the finance department answers most of them. ## Readiness review We look at reporting, controls and systems. The review covers finance, operational and technology gaps, and the governance and compliance a transaction needs. ## What we help with - Technical accounting for the deal, including purchase accounting, opening balance sheets and pro formas.

We write down what we do, what your team keeps, and how we review it with you. 3. Build and run. Accountants and engineers work together in your process. Your people check the output. 4. Document. You get written steps for what we built. **We scope it with you.** A scoping conversation usually takes less than a day. A pilot typically runs from two days to a week, and up to a couple of weeks, depending on what you want to test. ## Industries We work with [SaaS and technology](https://www.cfosquared.com/industries/saas-technology), [life sciences](https://www.cfosquared.com/industries/life-sciences), [construction and real estate](https://www.cfosquared.com/industries/construction-and-real-estate) and [nonprofits](https://www.cfosquared.com/industries/nonprofits), and with businesses outside those four. ## Where to start if you are unsure Take the free GAAPx Score, a self-assessment across nine finance areas.

You paid for the agent, and it still sends too much work back to your team. Something in the data, the logic or the connections is holding it back. ## Who it is for Teams that already run AI agents, chatbots or other automated tools and find the results fall short. The common issues are accuracy, speed, integration and scale. ## How it works 1. Review. We examine your existing agents. 2. Name the bottleneck. We look at the data the agent learns from, the logic it uses to decide, and how it connects to your other systems. 3. Fix. Better data quality, adjusted model settings and simpler workflows. 4. Keep improving. We set up feedback loops so the agents get better over time. ## If your agents run on another platform The review still applies. Typical problems are customer data spread across systems, limited integration with older systems, and agents that are hard to manage as you grow.

The quote says one thing, the invoice another, and the revenue schedule a third. Closing means reconciling all three by hand. ## From quote to revenue A quote becomes a contract. The contract becomes an invoice. The invoice becomes revenue. We connect each step to finance, so the people who close the books can see where a number came from. ## What we do - Quote to contract to billing, mapped with the gaps listed. - Pricing rules finance can audit. Exceptions go to a reviewer. - A handoff to revenue recognition, with billing and revenue data set up so accountants can review it. ## Who it is for Finance leaders and revenue operations teams who run quotes and billing in Salesforce, or plan to. ## The next step after setup GAAPx Revenue is the revenue agentic operating system for revenue accounting and revenue recognition.
