But for several weeks, every quarter, everyone is heads down, closing the books.
You can't take vacations.
It's almost like you're nailed to your chair, so to speak, consumed in processes that basically requires you to validate the data, document what you're doing, create a set of analytics, all kinds of repetitive work, which AI can immensely help to solve.
And I just thought it could be different.
What we've done with SafeWorks, we developed an agentic platform that can totally emulate most of the work done by a human being, replacing repetitive, specific work around the structured and unstructured data.
Where it comes more complex, and I think AI even creates an advantage, is when you need to look at that data across systems.
In finance, every transaction could be processed by multiple systems.
For example, a revenue transaction, then you have a quoting system, you have a CRM, you have supporting documentation, whether it's like a contract order form, you have a billing system, you have an ERP, you have banks.
In AP or procure to pay, it's the same.
In many other, in payroll, you have HRIS and payroll and so on.
The ability to reconcile the data, look at the data, and make sure everything is okay across systems, that's where it becomes hairy and complex.
And there, agents can do a much better, faster job than even human beings.
While I think most human beings I know would appreciate the fact that they can focus on what they do really best, making decisions, making accounting decisions, as opposed to counting the bins, so to speak, and checking the data.
I think we just got to a place, or I think we got to a place, where the technology can actually execute on that with quality, because the other concern, the top concern, China's people would have is, okay, I get that it can do the work, but what's the level of accuracy?
What's the level of integrity?
How much confidence can I, or trust I can have in the system?
Three years after being into this AI journey, all of us, the entire world, are the most advanced AI models.
I think we are at a place where the technology meets or exceeds some capabilities of the human being to be able to do that work.
And I think it's exciting because specifically for the office of the CFO or specifically for finance,
For those who are like following up on that or interested, there is like a massive exodus from the profession.
