Your mandate: AI across finance.
Your timeline: this year.
Most finance-AI programs spend their first year building scaffolding — connectors, orchestration, approval routing, audit logging — before the first agent ships. Artifi is that scaffolding, already built and already governed, so your program ships workflows in weeks and reports numbers this quarter.
The finance transformation role changed profession. We documented it.
In July 2026 we analyzed ~105 live postings for finance-AI roles. The transformation mandate is real, senior, and measured — read the analysis.
“Drive AI enablement across the finance org”
The Head-of-Finance-Systems mandate, verbatim from current job postings: close automation, reporting, operational workflows. The role is funded; the scaffolding usually isn't.
“Redesign core finance processes around AI and agents”
Transformation leads are asked to map the as-is, design an agentic-first to-be, and hold every workstream to a number — across markets, on one group standard.
“Automation rate, close time, cost taken out”
The metrics your CFO will actually score: percentage touchless, days to close, effort removed. Artifi reports them per workflow because every agent action is a logged event.
Rails, not a blank canvas.
A working agent library, day one
28 finance agents in production form — AP, AR, banking, reconciliation, payroll, VAT, collections — each with triggers, execution mode, and allowed tools. Start from working, not from blank.
Workflow engine with approval lanes
Risk-based green / yellow / red lanes, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, exception queues. The governance your steering committee will ask about is the default path, not a later phase.
Multi-entity rollout on one standard
Dimension-based multi-entity ledger: the same workflow, chart logic, and controls across every entity and market — with country packs where local rules genuinely differ.
Adoption tooling for the finance team
Skills, guides, and Claude as the interface your team already knows how to talk to. Transformation fails on adoption more often than on technology; the interface is the adoption plan.
Delivered with us, or by your team on the platform.
We deploy alongside your team for the first workflows — mapping, configuring, and shipping together — then hand over the keys. Your in-house builders extend the platform through agents, rules, and plugins; the extension surface is documented honestly. Controls and evidence come standard either way: review the security model.
