Finance
& Accounting

Invoice processing, month-end close, account reconciliation,
collections, travel expenses: finance is the function with the
highest automation potential. Because the processes repeat,
the systems are clear, and the ROI is immediately measurable.

The Reality in Finance

Your best people spend their time
on data entry

Finance is the function that suffers most from manual, repetitive processes and
simultaneously has the clearest business case for automation.

Mountains of invoices every month

3,000 incoming invoices per month, each individually captured, coded, reviewed, approved. 25 minutes per invoice. 1,250 hours per month for a process that’s 85% automatable.

Month-end close as a state of emergency

Every quarter the same stress: reconcile accounts, post accruals, intercompany reconciliations, prepare reporting packages. 2–3 weeks in crunch mode, because 80% of the work is manual.

Reconciliations nobody can keep up with

Bank reconciliation, AR/AP reconciliation, intercompany reconciliation: all in spreadsheets, all manual, all error-prone. And when the auditors come, evidence is missing.

Collections on autopilot — but manually

Identify open items, create dunning letters, send them, follow up. 500 dunning notices per month, each processed individually. DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) rises and liquidity suffers.

Success Story

Case Study: Invoice Processing

From 5 minutes to 30 seconds per transaction — on every single incoming order.
International networking equipment manufacturer · Finance & Operations · Invoice Automation · UiPath IXP
⚡ Agentic AI — Document Understanding + LLM
Challenge

Incoming invoices were transferred manually between isolated systems — with no direct integration between the document inbox and the ERP. Staff extracted document data by hand, performed manual matching, and routed each order individually through the approval workflow. This resulted in high time expenditure, error-prone data entry, and delays across the entire accounts order process.

Solution

UiPath Intelligent Document Processing (IXP) with Document Understanding and LLM integration for automatic extraction and classification of invoice documents — with direct ERP connectivity. Rule-based matching, automatic exception handling, and seamless routing through the approval workflow. No manual intervention between inbox and posting.
