Accountable AI for finance operations
Mandate makes the posting decision on your supplier invoices, inside limits you sign, and records why. Accounts payable is where every client starts.
Illustrative example.
A posting nobody can explain is a risk nobody owns
Capture tools read the invoice. Someone still decides where it goes, and six months later nobody can say why. In a services firm the wrong code does not stay in finance. It leaks into client billing.
The typing was never the hard part. The decision is.
The same invoice, with an answer to all three
One method, applied to every decision: a mandate that says what the agent may do, a confidence score, a tamper-evident record that explains it, and a named person who answers for it.
How the method worksIt does not process invoices. It makes the decision, and can prove every one.
Approve
The supplier is known, the coding matches its history and the amount sits inside the mandate. The agent decides and records why.
Flag
Good enough to decide, unusual enough to mention. The decision stands and a person is told what looked different.
Stop
Below the threshold, the agent does not guess. It stops, says what it could not establish and hands the invoice to a person.
Prove
Every decision lands on a tamper-evident, append-only audit trail: what was decided, on what evidence, under which version of the mandate.
One method, job by job
The same four things apply to every transactional job in finance. Accounts payable is where every client starts: it has the clearest audit question and the cleanest proof. Invoice Maestro is the first Mandate agent.
What we runWhat the first sixty days leave you with
Every invoice, decided
The agent's decision on each supplier invoice, set beside what your team actually posted.
Two month-ends
Sixty days is deliberately long. It covers two month-ends and a full cycle of every monthly supplier statement.
One report, yours to keep
The AP Decision Report: coding patterns and exception causes in your own ledger. You keep it whether or not you continue.
For services firms whose invoices have outgrown the finance team
Managed service providers
Distributor invoices, licence reconciliations that move every month and carrier bills, all tied to client recharges.
Agencies
Freelancers and media costs that have to land on the right job.
Consultancies
Associates and expenses that must be defensible to the client who pays for them.
Accountancy practices
Clients' accounts payable, run on an engine that keeps the evidence.
A named person, not a ticket queue
A named owner
One person at Mandate answers for the decisions the agent makes in your ledger.
Measured monthly
Each month the agent's decisions are measured against your own postings, and you see the result.
