"You need to use AI."
"If you're not using AI, you're falling behind."
And water is wet.
We've heard it. You've heard it. Let's move on.

2 + 2 = 4

In finance, we already know the answer.

We don't need a model to tell us 2+2=4.

The hype cycle sells novelty. Finance runs on accuracy, compliance, and consequences. So Autessa skips the buzzwords and comes back to the brass tacks.

AI is only useful if there's real value being added.

Everything below is built on that single rule. No magic. No vibes. Just the work finance teams actually need done — done correctly, every time.

Brass Tacks

The fundamentals worth automating.

Each one is a job where AI genuinely earns its place — judgment, pattern-finding, or language — not a task a spreadsheet already solves. Explore any one in depth.

AP · AP ALLOCATION

AP coding shouldn't be done by hand.

Autessa captures invoices at volume, applies your project, task, and department coding automatically, and routes a complete entry for approval — with or without an ERP.

Invoice captured$49,900

COI · COMPLIANCE

Know a sub is covered before you pay them.

Autessa reads and verifies every COI and lien waiver, then puts the vendor's compliance status on the payment itself — so an expired certificate is caught before the check goes out. With or without an ERP.

01 · DATA INTEGRITY

Your cost data is correct. Always.

A continuous validation layer that reconciles every cost figure against source systems and flags the anomalies a static rule would miss.

Straight answers

Questions finance teams ask.

Is this just another AI tool with a lot of hype?+

No. Autessa only automates finance work where AI genuinely earns its place — judgment, pattern-finding, or language. If a spreadsheet already solves it, we leave it alone. Everything we build is held to one rule: AI is only useful if there is real, verifiable value being added.

How is Autessa priced?+

Predictably, with no per-token costs. Finance should not have to forecast a bill that swings with usage, so Autessa is priced so you know exactly what you will pay. Book a demo and we will walk you through how it works for your team.

Do I have to adopt everything at once?+

No. Each of the fundamentals is its own workflow. Most teams start with one — document extraction, month-end close, or anomaly detection — and add the rest when they are ready.

Does Autessa replace my team or my system of record?+

Neither. Autessa does the manual work and surfaces what needs judgment; your team makes the calls and your systems of record stay where they are. It removes the grind, not the control.

Is my financial data secure?+

Autessa is SOC 2 Type II compliant. Your IT team can review everything at our Trust Center at trust.autessa.com.

No hype. Just the fundamentals, done right.

If AI isn't adding real, verifiable value to your finance function, it doesn't belong in it. Autessa is built around that line.
