ILLUSTRATIVE DEPLOYMENTS

What AI implementation looks like in practice

These examples show how ArcGrid would structure common finance workflows. Each one presents an illustrative solution pattern.

FINANCE OPERATIONS

Workflows designed around decisions and exceptions

SAMPLE 01 / ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Invoice Exception Resolution

Problem: Exceptions move through inboxes, context is scattered, and ownership is unclear.

  • Capture invoices and supporting documents
  • Validate vendor, amount, tax, and purchase order
  • Collect missing context
  • Route approval by exception type and threshold
  • Record the resolution and evidence
SAMPLE 02 / CONTROLLERSHIP

Month-End Close Coordination

Problem: Teams manually chase status, reconcile multiple sources, and discover issues late.

  • Trigger close tasks on schedule
  • Collect balances and schedules
  • Surface reconciliation breaks
  • Escalate material exceptions
  • Assemble readiness reporting
SAMPLE 03 / EXPENSE OPERATIONS

Policy Review and Escalation

Problem: Routine reviews consume attention while inconsistent exceptions create control risk.

  • Apply policy and coding rules
  • Detect duplicates and missing receipts
  • Request missing information
  • Route material exceptions
  • Preserve the decision record
SAMPLE 04 / FP&A

Variance Investigation

Problem: Analysts spend days assembling data before they can explain what changed.

  • Collect actuals and plan data
  • Identify material movements
  • Trace drivers to source records
  • Request owner commentary
  • Draft a review-ready narrative
A real deployment receives a dedicated scope based on your systems, controls, data, approval policy, and risk requirements. The examples above provide starting patterns for discovery.
OPPORTUNITY FILTER

What makes a strong first use case?

01 / REPETITION

Frequent work

The process runs often enough for time savings and consistency to matter.

02 / RULES

Defined decisions

Business rules and acceptable exceptions can be articulated and tested.

03 / EVIDENCE

Measurable baseline

Cycle time, touch time, backlog, error rate, or another outcome can be compared.

Bring one workflow to the table

ArcGrid will help map the current process, identify the controllable opportunity, and define what implementation would require.
