The finance and accounting (F&A) function is undergoing a radical transformation. Once seen as a back-office cost center, F&A is now being redefined as a strategic business partner—thanks to the power of AI and automation. By making processes more consistent, agile, and efficient, organizations can unlock significant value across the enterprise.
A leading property management company in the Nordis was able to reduce to the average time spent per invoice from five minutes to just 45 seconds—an 83% improvement by automating its invoice processing. This shift saved the company 60,000 hours annually, demonstrating the tangible impact of intelligent automation.
The platform uses a pre-trained AI model to ingest and code invoices, allowing accountants to validate rather than manually enter data. Within the first month, the system achieved 98% accuracy, enabling zero-touch validation and freeing up valuable time for strategic tasks.
However, automation must be implemented with purpose. It only delivers value when it leads to measurable business outcomes—such as improved operational efficiency, faster decision-making, and stronger compliance. Organizations that approach automation as a strategic enabler, rather than a technology upgrade, are seeing cost reductions and capacity gains of 30–50% in their accounting processes.
Despite the potential, many companies encounter common pitfalls. Initiatives often begin with top-down pressure and lack a clearly defined business case. There is frequently an overemphasis on technology, with existing manual processes simply replicated in digital form. Additionally, resistance to change and a shortage of new skills can hinder progress.
To succeed, organizations must start by validating the business case. A focused 4–6 week assessment can help identify key levers for improvement and clarify the outcomes to target. Reimagining the process from the ground up, investing in new competencies, and aligning stakeholders around a shared vision are essential steps.
The message is clear: AI and automation are not just operational tools—they are catalysts for transformation. When applied thoughtfully, they elevate F&A from a transactional function to a strategic powerhouse. Organizations that embrace this shift will not only improve efficiency but also position themselves for long-term growth, agility, and resilience.
