Accounting in AEC firms is evolving beyond transaction processing.
Autonomous finance embeds intelligence directly into core accounting processes so systems handle routine execution while finance leaders focus on risk, insight, and strategy. Instead of chasing transactions, teams gain earlier visibility into cash, faster close cycles, and clearer signals to guide decisions across the business.
In this session, we will explain how autonomous finance is taking shape for AEC firms today, how it’s being delivered on the Microsoft platform, and which accounting use cases are driving meaningful change now versus what’s still emerging.
Use cases that matter to CFOs and Controllers
We’ll explore practical scenarios AEC firms are prioritizing today, including:
- Autonomous accounts payable and AI-driven invoice processing
- Account reconciliation and exception-based workflows
- Financial reporting and AI-assisted analysis
- Cash management and predictive cash flow forecasting
- Period close automation and improved visibility into close progress
These examples illustrate where autonomous finance is already delivering value and how firms should think about sequencing adoption.
