Read full description

LayerNext is an AI agent platform for accounts payable automation and finance operations. Our agents process invoices, reconcile accounts, categorize transactions, and generate CFO-grade reports across any ERP or accounting platform. This is not another dashboard or OCR tool. Our agents handle invoice automation end to end. An invoice is captured, validated, matched to its PO, exception-handled, posted, and reconciled. Your team approves every step, and a full audit trail is kept. LayerNext works where other AP automation tools cannot. No API on your ERP? No problem. Our agents operate desktop applications, legacy systems, and Windows-based software the same way your team does. If a human can use it, the agent can automate it. WHAT LAYERNEXT DOES : - Accounts payable automation. - Invoice automation and approvals. - Real-time bank reconciliation. - AI bookkeeping and transaction categorization. - Custom finance workflows. - ERP and desktop automation, no API required. - CFO-level reporting: cash flow, burn rate, runway, margins. ON YOUR PHONE : - Photograph or forward any receipt, bill, or invoice the agent extracts, categorizes, and syncs it. - Review and approve the items the agent flags, from anywhere. - Ask anything in plain English: “What is my burn this month?“, “How much do I owe vendors?“, “What expenses increased this week?” - Cash flow, burn rate, and runway at a glance. - Notifications when something needs your decision. - Works with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, and legacy or custom ERPs. - Built for founders, controllers, and finance teams. - Finance work, done by AI, with humans in control.
