How it works

A week with Finance Controller.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Every morning01

    Reconciliation brief

    What matched, what did not, and the exceptions that need a decision.

  2. Daily02

    Exceptions in Approvals

    Each proposed match shows the evidence: bank line, invoice, fee schedule. You decide.

  3. Continuously03

    Anomaly watch

    Unusual amounts, duplicates and timing shifts flagged with the reason.

  4. Month end04

    Audit-ready pack

    Every decision and its evidence, exportable for your auditor.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Finance Controller reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Close the month

A bounded push from open items to a reviewed close, with progress you can see.

Diagnostic

Why is cash lower than forecast?

Ranked hypotheses with evidence from your own ledger.

Strategy

Where is the working capital going?

A variance view with the drivers behind it.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Finance Controller connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Accounting and ERP

    • Xero
    • QuickBooks
    • SAP
    • NetSuite
    • Microsoft Dynamics 365
    • Zoho Books
    • Oracle ERP
    • FreshBooks
    • Wave
    • Sage Intacct
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
Control

You manage. Finance Controller executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

Getting started

Hired in minutes.

Instant onboarding: it is on your team the same day you sign up.

  1. Step 01

    Sign up

    Create your organization. Finance Controller is added to your workforce from the link below.

  2. Step 02

    Connect and confirm

    Grant the tools it needs and confirm the targets it proposes. It never asks for what the platform already knows.

  3. Step 03

    Review the first proposals

    Its first brief and first proposals land in Approvals the same day.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will it post journal entries on its own?

Not unless you allow it. It proposes matches and entries with the evidence; you approve. Exact matches can be auto-approved once you grant that level.

What can the Finance Controller Digital FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Finance Controller proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles

Other roles ready to hire.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
