Finance and accounting

From bookkeeping to budgeting, AI is helping businesses take control of their finances with less manual effort. In this section, you’ll see how companies use AI to automate invoicing, track expenses, manage cash flow, and generate financial reports in real time. These case studies highlight how AI reduces human error, saves time, and improves financial visibility—so businesses can make smarter, faster decisions with confidence.

Small creative agency managing multiple freelance contractors and monthly client retainers.

The agency’s founder was spending hours each week manually generating invoices, chasing late payments, and entering receipts into spreadsheets. Invoices were often sent late, expenses were miscategorized, and tax season was a scramble. As the client list grew, so did the time spent on finance tasks—leaving less room to focus on actual billable work.

Without AI

  • Invoices were created manually in Word and emailed one-by-one

  • Expense receipts were scanned and tracked in spreadsheets, with frequent errors and duplicates

  • Follow-ups for late payments were inconsistent, often forgotten until month-end

  • Reconciling bank statements took 3–4 hours monthly

  • No real-time view of cash flow, causing surprises and delayed decisions

With AI

  • The agency implemented an AI-powered finance platform (like QuickBooks + Dext) to auto-generate and send invoices based on project milestones or time entries

  • Expense tracking was automated using AI-powered receipt scanning and categorization tools

  • Late payment reminders were sent automatically, with escalation workflows for overdue clients

  • Bank feeds were synced and reconciled in real time, with minimal manual input

  • Dashboards gave an instant view of cash flow, upcoming bills, and profit margins
