Finance
Weekly Cash & AR Exception Brief Agent
Assist-only · Starter · High severity
Works with: Business Central, Power BI (optional), Teams
The problem
The owner asks "how are we on cash?" and finance stitches an answer from BC reports, the bank feed, and the AR aging. Dashboards exist but describe everything instead of flagging what changed and what needs a decision.
What the agent does
- Trigger: Monday morning.
- Reads BC: cash position and trend, AR aging movement, largest overdue invoices, AP due this week, upcoming payroll/committed spend.
- Compares to prior weeks; identifies exceptions — customers newly slipping, concentration risk, weeks where cash-in doesn't cover cash-out.
- Posts a one-page brief: what changed, what's at risk, 2-3 decisions/actions needed and by whom.
You need this if
- Owner learns about cash problems late
- Weekly finance check-ins are report-reading sessions
- AR review happens monthly while payroll happens weekly
Who uses it
Owner, controller/bookkeeper.
What goes in, what comes out
In: BC financials, AR/AP, scheduled commitments. Out: weekly exception brief with recommended decisions.
Why it pays
Turns a monthly surprise into a weekly decision. Naturally upsells the Collections agent when the same names appear every week.
Built to be trusted
