How ChatFin AI Agents Transform NetSuite Operations

ChatFin doesn't just add features to NetSuite — it fundamentally changes how finance teams interact with their ERP. Through autonomous AI agents, ChatFin handles complex financial tasks that traditionally require hours of manual work.

1. Automate Reconciliation Across Systems and Catch Mismatches Fast

Reconciliation is one of the most time-consuming activities in finance, often requiring teams to manually match thousands of transactions across multiple systems. ChatFin's reconciliation agents change this entirely.

What ChatFin's Reconciliation Agents Do:

• Automatically match transactions between NetSuite, banks, payment processors, and other systems
• Identify discrepancies and mismatches in real-time with intelligent matching algorithms
• Handle complex matching scenarios including timing differences, currency conversions, and multi-entity transactions
• Reduce manual reconciliation effort by 80-90% while improving accuracy
• Provide exception reports that highlight only items requiring human review
• Learn from past reconciliations to continuously improve matching logic

The result? What used to take days now takes hours. Finance teams shift from manual data matching to strategic exception resolution and analysis.

"ChatFin's reconciliation agents cut our month-end close time by 3 days. We went from manually matching 50,000+ transactions to having AI handle it automatically with 99.8% accuracy. Our team now focuses on analyzing exceptions instead of searching for matching transactions." — Controller, Mid-Market SaaS Company

2. Validate Invoices, Chargebacks, and Pricing Logic with Precision

Invoice processing and validation traditionally requires finance teams to manually review documents, cross-check pricing, and validate terms. ChatFin's intelligent document processing brings AI-powered automation to this critical workflow.

Intelligent Document Processing Capabilities:

• Extract data from invoices, receipts, and financial documents with 99%+ accuracy
• Validate pricing against contracts and purchase orders automatically
• Flag discrepancies in invoice amounts, quantities, or terms for review
• Process chargebacks and reconcile them against original transactions
• Handle multi-currency invoices and apply correct exchange rates
• Route exceptions to appropriate approvers based on business rules
• Learn from corrections to improve future processing accuracy

This automation doesn't just save time — it dramatically reduces errors and strengthens financial controls. Finance teams catch pricing discrepancies before payments are made, ensuring vendor compliance and protecting margins.

3. Get Insights and Analytics in Plain Language

One of NetSuite's strengths is its comprehensive data — but accessing that data often requires building dashboards, running saved searches, or exporting to Excel. ChatFin changes this with natural language query capabilities.

Ask Questions, Get Answers:

• Query financial data using plain English — no SQL or dashboard building required
• "Show me revenue by product line for Q4" — instant visualizations and analysis
• "Which vendors have invoice discrepancies over $10,000?" — targeted exception reports
• "Compare this month's expenses to budget by department" — variance analysis on demand
• "What's causing the increase in AR aging?" — AI-powered root cause analysis
• Combine data from NetSuite, banks, CRMs, and other sources in single queries

Finance teams spend less time building reports and more time acting on insights. Executives get answers to ad-hoc questions in seconds, not hours or days.

"Our CFO used to wait 2-3 days for custom reports. Now she just asks ChatFin and gets instant answers with visualizations. It's transformed how we make decisions — we're operating on real-time data instead of stale reports." — FP&A Manager, Healthcare Technology

4. Speed Up Close Cycles, Reduce Risk, and Improve Decisions

Month-end close is one of the most stressful periods for finance teams. ChatFin's workflow agents transform this process by automating routine tasks and highlighting items that need attention.

Close Acceleration Capabilities:

• Automate journal entry preparation based on recurring patterns and business rules
• Perform automated variance analysis between actuals, budget, and prior periods
• Flag unusual transactions and potential errors before they impact financial statements
• Coordinate multi-entity close activities across subsidiaries and regions
• Track close progress in real-time and identify bottlenecks automatically
• Generate close checklists and ensure all required tasks are completed
• Provide audit trails and documentation for all automated processes

Beyond month-end, ChatFin's agents handle ongoing FP&A and controllership tasks — budget vs actual tracking, forecast updates, variance investigations, and more. Finance teams shift from reactive firefighting to proactive analysis and strategic planning.

• Keep your current ERP and all its configurations, customizations, and integrations
• Add AI capabilities without disrupting existing workflows
