Can Agentic Ai Solutions Help Cfos And Treasurers Unlock Growth?

The world is on the cusp of a new era of financial intelligence. While many factors contributing to this evolution of enterprise capabilities, the bulk of them a blend of technological and behavioral, few of the financial landscape’s innovations are as exciting for CFOs and treasury leaders as the emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for the back office. While news broke Sunday (March 30) that Apple is working on an AI agent that can dispense health advice, it’s across enterprise areas like B2B payments and procurement where software systems designed to optimize various processes with minimal human intervention, from cash flow management to invoice reconciliations, are poised to gain traction as a powerful tool.
