Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Review statements and draft adjustments

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to pull ledger and subledger balances, compare them to the source reports, and draft possible adjusting entries for items that do not tie out. It can package the trial balance, supporting documents, and note any unusual postings so you have a clean file to review at close.

Where you stay involved

You decide which adjustments are valid, approve the entries that should be posted, and handle material or disputed issues. You also confirm the statements make sense before they go forward.

Review level: High

2

Match invoices and flag payments for approval

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to sort invoice batches, match them to purchase orders and receiving records, and flag duplicates, missing support, or pricing oddities. It can prepare a payment-ready list with notes so you can review what should move forward and what needs a closer look.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether an invoice should be paid, questioned, or sent back for more support. You also handle payment limits, suspected fraud, and tax or policy questions.

Review level: Medium

3

Reconcile accounts and review mismatches

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compare general ledger accounts with bank, receivable, payable, or inventory records, then list the items that still need attention. It can track aging differences, gather the related source documents, and give you a tidy reconciliation file to review.

Where you stay involved

You decide which items are valid reconciling items, investigate anything that still does not line up, and approve the final balances. You also handle any theft, valuation, or other serious concern.

Review level: High

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
