Payhawk, a finance orchestration and spend management platform, has introduced its Fall ’25 Product Edition, enhancing AI Office features and the CFO stack.
This update includes several AI agents such as Financial Controller, Procurement, Travel, and Payments that automate everyday financial operations based on predefined roles, policies, and approvals with detailed audit trails.
AI-driven efficiency boosters
These AI agents interpret employees’ natural requests and guide them through every step of the process, collecting approvals in the background. Over time, they learn individual preferences to perform tasks faster and more effectively.
Payhawk emphasizes that enterprises need practical outcomes rather than just enhanced chat functionalities, as existing AI tools often lack essential enterprise features like permissions management, policy enforcement, multi-tenancy, robust audit trails, and stringent data security standards. These aspects are crucial for financial processes.
The Financial Controller automates month-end closing by tracking receipts, uploading documents from vendor portals automatically, identifying anomalies, and sending reminders for closings. This improves the speed and accuracy of financial reporting.
The Procurement Agent gathers context from employees, applies budgets, enforces policy, routes approvals, and manages card limits or purchase orders without requiring forms or follow-ups. According to Payhawk, this reduces the time needed for purchasing requests by about 60%.
The Travel AI Agent books trips based on user preferences using natural language and automates the creation of trip reports and expense grouping for one-click approval, significantly saving time per trip. The Payments agent also handles around 40% of finance team helpdesk inquiries by providing immediate solutions to common issues like transaction failures or card blockages.
In addition to these advancements, the Fall ’25 Product Edition offers global payments at a 0.3% FX rate in 115 currencies through a partnership with JP Morgan Payments, enhanced role and permission controls, and other platform improvements.
