Pinion Global, one of the nation’s largest midsize accounting partnerships, is betting that artificial intelligence (AI) can do more than crunch numbers. In March, the Denver-based firm added Adaptive AI, a platform that automates data capture and basic bookkeeping, to its technology stack after a monthslong security review, principal Bill Mills said. “The tool is exactly what we’re looking for, which is taking the human element out of the transactional process,” Mills told PYMNTS. By letting algorithms post invoices and reconcile ledgers, Pinion expects to free staff accountants to spend more time interpreting results and advising clients. Early returns have impressed one hard-to-please constituency: home builders and construction contractors. Preparing loan-draw packages for banks “has historically been a paper-driven bane for everyone involved,” Mills said

The pace of transformation has financial institutions (FIs) and corporations increasingly seeking ways to bring their B2B payments processes up to date with the latest technology. Given the economic volatility over the past few years and the ongoing tech explosion, it’s nearly impossible to find an aspect of business that’s remained constant — except for the need to pay, and be paid, in as efficient and expedited a manner possible
New York-based Adaptive has closed a $19 million Series A funding round led by San Francisco-based Emergence Capital, as it aims to transform payment systems in the construction industry.
