ASK for Finance

Fewer questions bouncing around at month end.

Cited answers from policies and contracts, month-end steps that run as workflows, and contract dates that arrive on time. Anything that involves money asks you to sign in again.

  • Compare these two supplier offers.

Permission-aware by design. Every answer for finance teams comes only from what each person may open in the source systems, checked inside every search, before anything reaches the AI.

What slows finance teams down

  • Month-end questions bounce between finance and the business.
  • Policies, approvals and contracts sit in different places.
  • Matching exports by hand takes days.
  • A number without a source is hard to trust.
  • Contract renewals are noticed too late.

How ASK helps

Month-end reconciliation as a workflow

A workflow collects the bank and ledger exports from a folder, reads them with your own access, lists the open items and drafts the questions to their owners.

  • Files from SharePoint or Google Drive
  • Read with your own access
  • Messages wait for your approval

Expense answers with the policy attached

Employees ask about travel and expenses and get the answer from your finance policies, so fewer questions reach the team.

  • From the current policy
  • Linked to the exact rule
  • In Teams, Slack or the web app
