LONDON, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Payhawk, the leading spend management platform, today announced the launch of ‘AI Office of the CFO,’ a suite of specialised AI agents that solve finance’s biggest AI challenge: drastically increasing finance teams’ productivity while maintaining complete control over their operations.

With its platform already managing companies’ transactions, policies, workflows, and master data, Payhawk is uniquely positioned to build AI Agents that deliver practical value alongside the necessary controls. These new AI agents autonomously handle operational tasks with the same careful permissions as employees, enabling organisations to implement AI with confidence. While building its in-house agentic infrastructure, Payhawk has been leveraging early-access OpenAI models to refine its AI agent technology.

The company is launching the suite with its Financial Controller Agent, which will take over the tedious tasks of chasing receipts, analysing expense documents, and spotting unusual spending patterns. This marks another milestone in Payhawk’s journey to redefine financial operations, adding AI agents to its unified spend management platform.

“Finance leaders know AI will have an impact on their operations, but until now, there hasn’t been a clear and practical path forward,” said Hristo Borisov, CEO of Payhawk. “We’re not just adding AI features — we’re creating a new category of purpose-built agents that transform finance operations by autonomously completing critical, time-consuming tasks.”

The AI Office of the CFO suite introduces agents that elevate key functions:

• The Financial Controller Agent eliminates the endless back-and-forth of expense reporting. Instead of managers chasing employees for missing receipts or checking expense reports line by line, the agent automatically collects documents, sends friendly reminders when something’s missing, and flags any unusual purchases — freeing up time for more valuable work.
• The Procurement Agent turns complicated purchase requests into simple conversations. Employees just say what they need, and the agent guides them through company policies, gathers required approvals, and helps compare vendor options — replacing days of emails and form-filling with a smooth, guided process.
• The Travel Agent simplifies business travel by managing the entire process, from booking policy-compliant flights and hotels to capturing all related expenses. This eliminates manual coordination across departments or external agencies while ensuring compliance and complete documentation.
• The Payments Agent handles employee inquiries about transactions, reimbursements, and supplier payments, providing answers and investigating issues— tasks that previously took up the finance team’s time unnecessarily.

“What makes our approach unique is that we’ve built these AI agents on Payhawk’s existing financial infrastructure,” said Boyko Karadzov, CTO of Payhawk. “Our platform already handles global spend management through licensed payments, established approval workflows, granular spend controls, and system integrations — the exact foundation needed for secure, effective AI implementation in finance. Our vision is to offer all the capabilities of our web and mobile apps through natural conversation with AI, enabling users to work with Payhawk however they prefer.”

The AI agents integrate seamlessly into Payhawk’s enterprise-grade secure infrastructure using established permissions, workflows, and audit trails. Finance teams will maintain the same visibility and control they need while gaining AI’s benefits. This security-first foundation uniquely positions Payhawk to deliver AI that meets finance’s fundamental need for control.

Information on EQT AB’s financial reporting

The EQT AB Group has a long-term business model founded on a promise to its fund investors to invest capital, drive value creation and create consistent attractive returns over a 5 to 10-year horizon. The Group’s financial model is primarily affected by the size of its fee-generating assets under management, the performance of the EQT funds and its ability to recruit and retain top talent.

The Group operates in a market driven by long-term trends and thus believes quarterly financial statements are less relevant for investors. However, in order to provide the market with relevant and suitable information about the Group’s development, EQT publishes quarterly announcements with key operating numbers that are relevant for the business performance (taking Nasdaq’s guidance note for preparing interim management statements into consideration). In addition, a half-year report and a year-end report including financial statements and further information relevant for investors is published. Finally, EQT also publishes an annual report including sustainability reporting.
