What finance teams use Hops for
- Financial summaries: your agent pulls data from your accounting tool and drafts spend summaries, budget reports, and variance analyses
- Data questions: ask your agent a question about your financials and it finds the answer and shows where it came from
- Report drafting: monthly close updates, board prep, investor reporting. Draft from data, review and finalize
- Budget tracking: monitor spend against plan across cost centers, flagging anomalies
- Invoice and approval context: surface the history behind a payment, contract, or vendor before approval
