Our agents automate recurring workflows across close, AP, AR and FP&A, helping finance teams catch exceptions sooner and keep supporting evidence ready for review. [Book a working session](https://emptyspaces.ai/contact-us) [See how it works](https://emptyspaces.ai/#solutions) An illustration of a month-end close: six of ten checklist tasks done by our Close Agent; card expenses running now, with most transactions matched to receipts; the bank reconciliation waiting on information from the team; and the payroll accrual, which the agent has sent to a reviewer for approval. > Empty Spaces has become our new operating system. It gives us a clearer view of our operations and surfaces the insights we need to run the company better. Chief Strategy Officer — A KKR-backed European education group [Read the case study ](https://emptyspaces.ai/resources/case-studies/european-education-group) Why Empty Spaces ## Your team reviews the work instead of assembling it. Our agents prepare the work. Your team makes the decisions. - ### Start from prepared work Agents pull the records, match transactions and draft reconciliations, entries and reports, so each task arrives ready for review. Instead of — Exports, lookups and workpapers built by hand. - ### Check everything, not a sample Agents work through every transaction and flag what doesn't tie, with the likely cause, before it holds up the close or a payment. Instead of — Spot checks, and surprises found at month-end. - ### Support behind every number Each finding, entry and report links back to the records it rests on, so review goes faster and audit requests are easier to answer. Instead of — Chasing the source after someone asks for it. - ### More volume, same team More vendors, customers and transactions don't have to mean more manual hours. Your team's time goes to exceptions and decisions. Instead of — Hiring to keep up with transaction volume. An illustration of a bank reconciliation workpaper the Close Agent prepared for the June payroll account: the bank balance of $1,248,630.00, less $18,420.00 of outstanding checks, plus $6,250.00 in transit, agrees to the ledger balance of $1,236,460.00 with no difference. It waits for a reviewer. Product ## One platform across the finance function. Start with the workflow that needs attention. Our agents bring together the records and context needed to complete the work across close, payables, receivables and reporting. Autonomous Close ### Move the close forward with less manual work. Prepare reconciliations, investigate exceptions and draft supported journal entries. Keep outstanding work and reviews visible in one workspace. [Explore Autonomous Close ](https://emptyspaces.ai/product/close) An illustration of the March 2026 close on the morning of day 2. The Close Agent has gathered balances from 14 systems, tied 42 of 42 accounts and posted six supported entries, including an approved $12,480.00 entry for cloud hosting. Review is under way with two of three sign-offs, and the month locks on day 2. Accounts Payable ### Resolve invoice discrepancies before payment. Compare invoices with purchase orders, receipts and supporting records. Investigate differences and prepare the next action for approval. [Explore Accounts Payable ](https://emptyspaces.ai/product/accounts-payable) An illustration of the AP Agent matching an accounts payable invoice against its purchase order and receipt, finding one line the order never covered, and proposing the amendment for approval. Accounts Receivable ### Clear payment issues and move collections forward. Bring invoices, payments, credits and communications together to investigate disputes and unapplied cash. [Explore Accounts Receivable ](https://emptyspaces.ai/product/accounts-receivable) An illustration of the AR Agent applying a customer's short payment to their open invoices, tracing the gap to a credit note never applied, and proposing to apply it for approval. FP&A ### Get from a finance question to a finished report. Ask questions across financial and operating data. Our FP&A Agent investigates the numbers and produces explanations, workbooks and reports with supporting sources. [Explore FP&A ](https://emptyspaces.ai/product/fpa) An illustration of the FP&A Agent answering a question about operating expenses: the answer in a sentence and a chart of the change by account, over the variance workbook it produced.

Short answers to what most teams want to know before a working session. The security page has the detail for IT and security. - ### What do you do? We give a finance team AI agents for the work that fills the month: the close, accounts payable, accounts receivable and analysis. Each agent reads your systems, prepares the work with its support, and hands it to your team to decide. - ### Do your agents post, pay or send anything on their own? No. Our agents propose the entry, bill, match or reply with its evidence. A named approver, who can't be the person who asked, approves the exact lines, and each approval is used once. Payment and customer contact stay with your team. [How approvals work](https://emptyspaces.ai/security#approvals) - ### Which systems do you work with? Your ERP, bank feeds, AP inbox and CRM, read together, with approved entries written back to the ERP. The full list of connected systems is on its own page. [See connected systems](https://emptyspaces.ai/integrations) - ### Where does our data live? With you. Everything runs inside your own cloud account, in the region you pick, so your data stays in an environment you own and control, and we never hold a copy of it. If you would rather not run anything yourselves, we set up a private deployment used by you alone. Either way nothing is shared with other customers, and we have completed SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. [Read the security page](https://emptyspaces.ai/security#deployment) - ### Do you keep our data, or train AI on it? No to both. We do not train AI models on your data, and do not collect or keep it: it stays in your deployment, and none of it is sent to us by default. The AI models are ones you choose, under your own accounts with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or Amazon Bedrock, so your agreement with that provider governs what it may do with a request. With Bedrock, requests never leave your AWS account. [How the AI is governed](https://emptyspaces.ai/security#ai) - ### Which AI models do your agents use? The ones you allow. Bring your own keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Amazon Bedrock or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, limit which models each group may use, and cap spend daily and monthly. [About the AI Gateway](https://emptyspaces.ai/platform#ai-gateway) - ### Do we have to change how we work? No. Each task follows a written method, a skill, and your team adapts the built-in ones to the way it already closes, pays and collects. When a task can't be finished, the agent says what's blocking it and waits. It doesn't guess. [About skills](https://emptyspaces.ai/platform#skills) - ### How do we start? With one workflow. We map the process with your team, connect the systems it needs and validate real cases against the underlying records before rollout.
