AppliedAI and McKinsey partner to deliver agentic AI to regulated enterprises
Finance

Know the return before you put AI to work in finance.

Opus builds a live model of how your finance work really runs: your Digital Twin, built with your teams, not process docs. Then it puts AI to work where the return is, with a person on the decisions that matter and your controls intact.

The problem

Half of finance's time disappears into manual work, and no one can see where AI would actually help.

Too much of finance's time goes on slow, manual work: closing the books, chasing numbers, moving data between spreadsheets and systems that don't connect. You know AI could take some of it on, but not which parts, what it's worth, or whether it's safe to change. That's where Opus comes in.

  1. 01 · Digital Twin

    A living model of how your operation actually runs

    A living model of how your finance operations actually run today: invoicing, the close, collections and reporting. Because the work runs on Opus, the Digital Twin stays current, so you can see what a change is worth before you make it, and what it adds up to across the function.

  2. 02 · Discover

    How the Digital Twin gets built

    Mapped live with your finance teams, the people who do the work, not guessed from process docs. In place of months of manual process mapping, you get the real cost of the work today.

  3. 03 · Build, run & optimise

    Most tools just automate your process exactly as it runs today

    Opus redesigns it for AI first, then runs the better version, so you're improving the work, not just speeding up a flawed one. A person stays on the decisions that matter, with your controls intact, and it keeps learning after go-live.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is our data secure and compliant?

Built for sensitive financial data, deployable in your own cloud, private cloud, or on-prem, with every action logged and auditable.

Does Opus replace our ERP or finance systems?

No. Opus is an operating layer on top of your existing stack — your ERP, sub-ledgers and the rest — designed to integrate, not replace.

How does Opus hold up to our controls and audit?

Every action is logged and time-stamped, with a person on the decisions that matter and your existing controls and approvals preserved.

Are we locked into one AI model?

No. Opus is model-agnostic — use any model, or several.

Will it disrupt live operations?

No. Start with one workflow, run it in parallel with a person in the loop, and scale once it's proven.

Who stays accountable for the numbers?

You do. Opus routes exceptions to your finance team and logs every step, so the numbers and the sign-offs stay with your people.
