Payhawk unveils ‘AI Office of the CFO’ – Bringing enterprise-ready AI to finance operations
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.

AB Charity Foundation Launches to Pioneer a New Global Model for Public Good Driven by Institutional Trust and Technology
SINGAPORE, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AB Charity Foundation has officially launched its global operations and unveiled its newly upgraded website at www.ab.org, marking the beginning of a public-interest initiative built on institutional credibility and advanced blockchain technology. Headquartered in Ireland with recognized legal status under EU law, the Foundation is positioned as a global nonprofit entity committed to reshaping the future of public trust and sustainable development by bridging governments, civil society, and the tech community.
The Foundation’s governance is led by a distinguished board of directors composed of former heads of state from Europe. The board is chaired by Bertie Ahern, former three-term Prime Minister of Ireland and a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement. Board members include Lawrence Gonzi (former Prime Minister of Malta), Péter Medgyessy (former Prime Minister of Hungary), Danilo Türk (former President of Slovenia), and Petar Stoyanov (former President of Bulgaria).
The Foundation is actively expanding its global advisory board, bringing together respected figures from all five continents—including former presidents, scientists, diplomats, and cultural leaders—to guide strategic planning and foster international collaboration in delivering impactful social initiatives.
At the heart of the Foundation’s mission lies a commitment to public good: advancing global efforts in education, healthcare, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid. The Foundation aims to build a “verifiable model of cooperative goodwill,” powered by transparent governance and next-generation technology. As its founders emphasize, “It is not a specific technology that changes the world—but the shared consensus around trustworthy institutions and global cooperation.”
AB Charity Foundation is technically supported by AB DAO, which provides the blockchain infrastructure underpinning the Foundation’s operations. Through smart contract automation, 15% to 30% of the gas fees from every transaction on the AB public chain are directed into a dedicated charity pool. This mechanism enables a new operational model for charitable funding—combining on-chain fundraising, automated distribution, full-chain auditability, and third-party compliance assurance.
In addition, 15% to 30% of the returns generated from investments by the AB Ecosystem Fund will also be directed into the Foundation’s pool. The fund has already supported dozens of projects, with more initiatives in the pipeline—strengthening the financial sustainability of the Foundation’s mission.
By leveraging blockchain’s inherent transparency, the Foundation aspires to become a scalable model for next-generation philanthropic infrastructure—ensuring every donation is traceable, every distribution verifiable, and every intention honored.

Ukrainian employers federation calls for deepening economic integration between the European Union and Ukraine
KIEV, Ukraine, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Federation of Employers of Ukraine has called on the leaders of Europe to accelerate Ukraine’s integration with the EU in response to rising geopolitical tension. The organisation warns that campaigning from lobbyist and other interest groups have distorted the debate by framing Ukraine’s agricultural sector as an existential threat to Europe’s farmers.
Speaking following the tenth meeting of the EU-Ukraine Association Council in Brussels Mykhailo Bno-Airiian, special trade representative of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine, appealed to Europe’s leaders to call out the false and misleading picture painted by lobbyists.
“We need a reset to change the established narrative that has framed the wider debate around bilateral economic relations between the EU and Ukraine to the topic of competition in agriculture. Such reductionism not only distorts the real picture but stands in the way of a deepening economic partnership that both sides will greatly benefit from.
“Closer economic, security and cultural links with Ukraine is clearly the best option for Europe’s decisionmakers in response to growing geopolitical tension between east and west. Deepening economic integration with Ukraine will not only support the rules-based order but also presents huge opportunities for the EU to improve its international competitiveness in an increasingly challenging market. In a world highly saturated with geopolitical tensions we must not forget our mutual goals. Right now, it’s especially important for the EU to set its priorities straight and remember to remain united for our shared strategic economic & political interests.
“The war has woven Ukraine even more deeply into the contours of the European common economic space and the EU has an institutional and moral interest in maintaining open and predictable access for Ukrainian products, which is the basis for further economic integration and jointly strengthening the single market. We cannot allow lobbying from interest groups, many of whom are sympathetic to President Putin, to continue to delay Ukraine’s integration with the EU.”
