The first Procure to Close platform

Connected Finance
Operations.
One Data Model.

Vakari's AI agents run procurement, contracts + e-Sign, AP and the close on one connected record, from the first request to the last journal entry. Every invoice is checked against the contract, every accrual is drafted before the close, and your team confirms every step.

Your finance stack is a hodgepodge.

A capable ERP at the core. Coupa for procurement. Ironclad for contracts. Bill.com for AP. BlackLine for close. Each tool is good at its job.

Together they make your team reconcile what the tools can't.

FIVE DATA MODELS. ZERO SHARED RECORD.
Re-keying journal entries by hand
Reconciling AP to the GL
Explaining variances that rounding made
Chasing an audit trail across systems
Reconnecting the signed contract to the PO

Vakari is one connected data layer. Procurement, contracts, AP, and the close on the same record. The contract validates the invoice. The PO drafts the accrual. The reconciliation explains itself. Audit-grade by default.

You type. Vakari executes the actions from the first step to the last.

40–60%

The disconnect tax. That's the share of finance hours spent on work that exists only because the systems don't share a record: re-keying, chasing and reconciling.

Stories you might recognize

Every finance team has lived one of these.

It's day three of close.

The status quo

Maria, the Controller, has the AP subledger in one window and the general ledger in the other. They’re $3,400 apart.

The wake-up call

She traces it to a vendor that billed $45.90 a unit. The contract, filed eight months ago where no one looks, caps it at $38. It was paid in May.

With Vakari

The contract became data the day it was signed. The invoice was held in May. On day three, there’s nothing to tie out.

Pairing: Contracts + AP

The accrual nobody booked.

The status quo

Operations raised a $120,000 PO for a consulting project. The work was delivered in September. The invoice arrived in November.

The wake-up call

The auditors ask why September shows no expense for work that was done. The Controller rebuilds the accrual from emails and a spreadsheet. Two months late.

With Vakari

The PO and the receipt were already on the record. At period end the agent proposed the accrual from the open PO. The Controller approved it on day one.

Pairing: Procurement + Close

The renewal that renewed itself.

The status quo

A software contract auto-renews unless someone gives notice 30 days before the term ends. The notice date lives on page 31.

The wake-up call

Nobody saw it. The contract renewed for 24 more months, with a 7% price increase. Procurement found out from the invoice.

With Vakari

The notice clause became data the day it was signed. Sixty days out, Vakari opened a renewal request for the owner, with usage and price. The decision was made before the deadline.

Pairing: Procurement + Contracts

Why are you paying per envelope?

The status quo

Every NDA, MSA, SOW and renewal goes out through a separate e-signature tool, licensed by the seat or by the envelope.

The wake-up call

The renewal quote arrives. You’re paying more every year for a tool that files a signature and forgets it. None of the signed terms ever reach the PO or the invoice.

With Vakari

e-Sign is included in Vakari and never metered. The moment a contract is signed, its terms price the PO and check every invoice.

Pairing: Contracts + e-Sign + AP

Illustrative. The people are composites of the finance teams we've worked alongside.

Procure to Close

Procure-to-pay stops when the invoice is staged for payment. Vakari finishes at the ledger.

Procurement and AP tools all claim procure-to-pay. Then the accruals, journal entries and month-end work are still yours. Procure to Close keeps one record all the way to the ledger.

Linear data can't check itself

  • Each stage hands data forward and never looks back
  • The contract never sees the invoice it should have priced
  • Renewal dates sit in a PDF until someone remembers them
  • Errors surface at month-end, as reconciling items

One record checks itself

  • Every stage can read every other stage
  • The contract validates the invoice before it's staged for payment
  • The renewal date opens the next request on its own
  • The receipt drafts the accrual, so there's nothing to rebuild

Four pillars, one record

Start anywhere. Finish connected.

Each pillar stands on its own. Every one you add makes the others smarter, because it's the same record at a different stage.

Procurement

Anyone asks in plain English. The request becomes a PO in your ERP, routed by your policy and approval limits.

Pairs withWith Contracts: renewals priced and decided before the auto-renew deadline.

Contracts + e-Sign

Legal drafts, signs and governs. Vakari turns every term into data the rest of finance can use. e-Sign included, never metered.

Pairs withWith AP: every invoice checked against the clause, not just the PO.

Contracts + e-Sign →

Accounts payable

Invoices matched to the PO, the receipt and the contract. Errors corrected before payment, not after.

Ways to start

Start where it hurts. Add the rest when you're ready.

Start with one

Procurement, Contracts + e-Sign, or AP

Each pillar works on its own, on top of your ERP. Close Tasks is free for everyone.

Pair two

Two pillars, one record

Pair two and they start checking each other: the contract checks the invoice, the PO drafts the accrual.

Run all four

Procure to Close, end to end

One plan delivered in phases, one consumption price, one audit trail, and insight as the work happens.

Built for the people who ask

Simple enough that everyone uses it. So your policy actually holds.

Most finance tools are built for the people who approve. Vakari starts with the people who ask. An employee types what they need in plain English, and the agent turns it into a complete, compliant request, routed by your policy and approval limits.

  • 1
    No portal to learn

    If you can send a message, you can make a request. No training, no forms to decode.

  • 2
    Policy built in

    Approval limits, preferred vendors and the contract on file are applied as the request is written.

  • 3
    Adoption drives compliance

    When the easy way is the compliant way, spend comes in through the front door instead of around it.

Three things make Vakari structurally different from anything that came before.

Data Foundation

From filed-away to real-time — one connected record.

Contracts, POs, invoices, and receipts become structured data the moment they enter Vakari. Every term extracted, every clause indexed, every match traceable to the source clause. A document stops being a file you retrieve and becomes a record that works.

Datadog MSA

CTR-2026-0042 · v3 · 47 pages

TERM

§9.2 — TERMINATION NOTICE
30 days · auto-renew unless cancelled
§4.2 — PRICING
$48,000/year · 7% CPI per renewal

Agentic Execution

End-to-end actions, executed by Vakari.

Vakari opens the work and finishes it — ingesting the invoice, intaking the request, opening the period — then runs three-way matching, contract validation, JE drafting, and accrual posting through to the last step. Vakari proposes; humans confirm. You type; the actions execute.

  1. PO matched · qty + price
  2. Contract matched · §4.2 within tolerance
  3. Receipt missing · sent ack request
  4. Stage for payment · May 12

Provenance

Every step proves itself.

Every action carries provenance back to the source clause and writes an immutable audit event. Segregation of duties is enforced structurally, not by policy. Audit-grade isn't a feature you switch on — it's a byproduct of how the record is built.

  • DocuSign files the signature.Vakari connects it to the record.
  • BlackLine reconciles after the fact.Vakari prevents the variance.
  • FloQast hands you a checklist.Vakari completes it.

AI proposes. Your team confirms. Every action is on the record.

This is the line that makes agentic AI safe for the Office of the CFO — and it's a design decision, not a disclaimer. Vakari never posts, pays, or closes on its own.

  • Nothing fires unattended.

    Every action arrives as a proposal with a confidence score. A human approves before anything posts, pays, or closes.

  • The human holds the pen.

    Segregation of duties is structural — a preparer can't approve their own work, a Controller can't create JEs. The control can't be bypassed.

  • Every action is auditable.

    Each confirmed action writes an immutable audit event traceable to its source. The model can change; the proof doesn't.

Why we built it

Four moments every CFO has lived. Four principles we built on.

We rolled out the procurement suite. I was the CFO, and I couldn’t figure out how to open a request.So we built

Ask in plain English

Anyone makes a request in a sentence. The agent does the rest, under your policy.

Our policies and flowcharts lived in binders we opened for the auditors.So we built

Your policy runs the process

Approval limits and segregation of duties are enforced in the system, not described after the fact.

I had to Slack five people to answer a simple question.So we built

One record you can ask

Contracts, POs, invoices and entries are connected, so the answer is one question away.

We bought BlackLine and FloQast, and we were still reconciling a human error.So we built

Prevention beats reconciliation

Errors are caught where they start, so there’s less to reconcile at month-end.
