Finance teams at large enterprises struggle to automate accrual calculations because data is scattered across unstructured sources and AI prompts lack sufficient context, leading to inconsistent results and requiring manual human effort.

Existing AI copilots (e.g., for Excel or SQL) handle simple drafting or queries but fail to integrate structured context (policies, contracts, invoice data) needed for complex accrual workflows, producing unreliable outputs that require human rework.
