15+ years in finance, come up through audit or management accounting, now running everything — month-end close, board reporting, payroll oversight, cash flow forecasting, tax compliance, audit liaison — with a team of two to six and no dedicated FP&A function.
You’ve already made the call on Xero — that’s not up for discussion, it’s the right tool for your business size and your team knows it well. This isn’t a pitch to replace it.
You’ve probably already tried Claude or ChatGPT for drafting board commentary or summarising documents — genuinely useful, until you hit the ceiling: it doesn’t know your numbers, your accounts, your entities. You won’t be won over by a pitch. You need to see it work on your actual data before you believe it.
Where does your Xero connection live and who can access it? It lives in your own Supabase and Skyvia account, not ours — you can revoke it yourself, any time. Then the bigger, usually unspoken one: you want an AI to write to my ledger? Nothing executes without your explicit confirmation, every time. Then: where’s the approval workflow? There isn’t a separate one — it routes through Xero’s own native approval, on purpose. Then: does this give us segregation of duties? No, and we’d rather tell you that plainly. Agent-channel controls, not an end-to-end guarantee.
Pilot it on one month’s real data — the close you just did, not a demo.
