# Billow AI

> AI employees for finance and accounting teams — month-end close, reconciliation, accounts payable, and FP&A commentary executed end to end, fully auditable. Backed by Y Combinator.

## What We Do

Billow AI builds AI employees for finance and accounting. Our agents execute complete workflows while your team reviews and approves:

- **Month-End Close**: Full close automation — from 1 week to 1 day
- **Account Reconciliation**: ERP and bank matching, thousands of lines in minutes
- **Accounts Payable / Procure-to-Pay**: Invoice intake, coding, matching, approval, payment
- **Accrual Automation**: Audit-ready accruals, every month
- **FP&A Variance Commentary**: Variance investigation and board-ready commentary in minutes, not days
- **Board Reporting**: Board decks and reports prepared overnight

## Who We Serve

- CFOs and VPs of Finance at Series A through IPO companies
- Controllers and accounting teams
- FP&A teams
- Finance teams in regulated industries that need every number traceable

## Key Features

1. End-to-end execution, not a copilot — AI employees do the work, humans review and approve
2. Fully auditable: every number traceable, every workflow documented
3. ERP-agnostic and Excel-native — works with the systems you already have
4. 100+ data integrations
5. Built by finance operators (PwC, Bloomberg, Merrill Lynch, Thermo Fisher, Gilead)
6. Enterprise-grade security: SOC 2 Type II and SOC 1 audited, SOX-aligned, GDPR and CCPA compliant
7. Backed by Y Combinator

## Positioning

Headline: "AI that handles your company's accounting."
Subhead: "Billow runs your close, reconciliations, and reporting. You review the exceptions."

Billow is described as the work a junior accountant does, every night, without being asked. The
product does the execution; the finance team reviews the exceptions rather than the whole ledger.

## How It Works

1. **Works with the tools you have** — NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Excel, Coupa, Bill.com, Ramp,
   Drive, Slack. No migration, no rip and replace.
2. **Learns how your team works** — Billow builds workflows from the steps your team already
   repeats, rather than requiring workflows to be configured from scratch.
3. **Finishes the job** — it completes the task end to end and hands you the review.

## Core Workflows (with typical run figures)

- **Month-end close** — Reconciliations, accruals, and journal entries run the night the period
  closes. Typical run: 4 steps, ~6m 41s.
- **Budget vs. actuals (BvA)** — Every variance flagged, investigated, and written up in plain
  English before your first meeting. Typical run: 4 drivers, 1 flagged.
- **Reconciliations** — Bank, credit card, intercompany, and balance sheet accounts tied out and
  documented. Typical run: 1,287 lines, 3 exceptions.
- **Accruals** — Vendor, CRO, and payroll accruals estimated from open POs and contracts, with
  support attached. Typical run: 7 lines, $520,975.
- **Procure-to-pay / accounts payable** — Invoice intake, coding, matching, approval, payment.
