This innovative solution addresses the complexities of accounting operations at scale, leveraging advanced machine learning and natural language processing to automate financial processes.
The Complexity of Accounting at Scale
As organizations grow, their accounting operations become increasingly complex. The sheer volume of transactions, coupled with the need for meticulous documentation and compliance, creates a significant challenge. FloQast’s platform is designed to tackle these complexities head-on, bringing AI and automation into everyday accounting workflows.
Key Features of FloQast’s AI-Powered Solution
- AI Transaction Matching: This feature streamlines the process of matching transactions across multiple data sources with high accuracy. It offers flexible rule creation using natural language, exception handling for unmatched transactions, and a comprehensive audit trail.
- AI Annotations: This feature automates the annotation and review of sample documents, enhancing compliance and audit processes. It uses advanced AI to analyze document text, highlight relevant information, and maintain a structured record of annotated documents.
How FloQast’s Solution Works
The AI Transaction Matching feature allows accountants to select specific transactions from both the general ledger system and bank statements, and generate AI rules for matching. The system then applies these rules to find additional matches, automating the transaction reconciliation process.
For AI Annotations, the workflow involves uploading supporting documents to a secure Amazon S3 bucket, extracting data using Amazon Textract, and then applying audit rules using Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Amazon Bedrock.
