- Evidence packages exported for your auditors

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ThinkTrends Finance & Accounting.
What does ThinkTrends offer for finance and accounting teams?
+
ThinkTrends offers agentic AI for finance and accounting. Agents match invoices to purchase orders and receipts, code them to the right accounts, reconcile balances, prepare accruals and intercompany matches, and draft close commentary, with the reason and source document behind every decision. Your team approves every posting.
How is ThinkTrends different from RPA or the automation in our ERP?
+
RPA and ERP rules follow fixed scripts and stop at exceptions. ThinkTrends agents read invoices, contracts and statements in any format, apply your policies, explain every decision with its evidence and work the exceptions down, then post results back to your ERP for approval.
Can ThinkTrends process invoices that do not match a purchase order?
+
Yes. Agents find the closest PO and receipt, explain the difference, apply your tolerance and coding rules, and route exceptions such as tax, price or quantity differences to the right approver with the evidence.
How does ThinkTrends speed up month-end close?
+
Agents work through matching, reconciliations, accruals and intercompany across every entity in parallel, trace differences to their cause and draft the commentary, so your team reviews and approves instead of preparing.
How does ThinkTrends support SOX and audit requirements?
+
Every posting keeps its source document, the rules evaluated, the approver and the time, with segregation of duties between preparer and approver. Rule changes are versioned, and evidence packages export for your auditors.
Which finance systems does ThinkTrends connect to?
+
Your ERP and general ledger, accounts payable and procurement systems, bank and card feeds, and document stores, through governed connectors.
Is our data used to train AI models?
+
No. ThinkTrends uses financial records only to do the work, inside your own environment. Your data is never used to train, tune or evaluate a model.
