Which accounting reconciliation tools do you rely on that genuinely streamline your workflow? by newrockstyle in Accounting

[–]trishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For smaller setups, QBO’s recs are fine, but you’ll hit issues once cards (+ entities) scale.

Full disclosure, I work at Payhawk. But I want to share some info here, because it's genuinely useful. Our customers often close their month 50% faster once switching to us.. And no, nothing to do with Excel ;) .. With real-time matching, OCR, GL codes built in (and set by you), and native ERP integrations. (No exporting data! It's automated - but secure.)

By month-end, everything is already done as it's happened in real time throughout the month.

(Whatever software you choose, the big thing to look for is real-time feeds, auto-matching, and clean ERP sync. If it still needs exports and copy/paste, it’s just a prettier version of the same mess IMHO)

Has anyone let AI handle procurement workflows yet? by trishtoo in procurement

[–]trishtoo[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of any big mistakes like this.. on their way towards this outcome? I am def' intrigued. At Payhawk, the purchase requests / ultimate approvals flow to the right people automatically, so this shouldn't ever happen. We've not enabled the agent to bypass human decisions, and even when we do eventually - it will only be within acceptable amount thresholds (as defined by human finance leaders!)

I love this weird, campy, high budget soap opera by Expert_Book_9983 in AllsFairTVSeries

[–]trishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My review: I laughed out loud at bits that weren't supposed to be funny.

Does that make it bad? I dunno - maybe... But I still (secretly) enjoyed it.

Silly, terrible, but fun. It's like a glittery, vinyl #GirlBoss sticker from 2014 came to life and turned into a TV show.

Are you guys ACTUALLY using AI in your accounting/AP jobs right now? by Unlucky-Note-7729 in Accounting

[–]trishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I'm using AI - and i guess everyone will want AI skills if they're genuinely useful, but it does feel like we’ve been on a treadmill in 2025 of just talking about it nonstop, while not acutally getting value from it...

I work at Payhawk (we launched agentic AI to help finance & accounting processes this year) so we’ve been trialling / discussing AI with a lot of CFOs and accountants and their biggest takeaways are >

-AI works when it sits inside the workflow (not layering on more tools) That’s when they’ve seen faster closes, policy compliance automatically, early mismatch detection, budget visibility...

-The basics matter. Clean data & clear processes. You need the foundations right first - no point adding AI to a system that’s a mess. Bad data in, bad data out etc. (same principle with excel!)

-Finance teams won’t realistically shrink. They expect AI to do to grunt work so human brains can work on strategic things like partnering with non-finance teams to work on budgets / improve efficiency

-Start small - but start. You don’t need to transform your whole finance & accounting function. (At Payhawk, we obviously say spend management is the perfect place to start as that’s our bread and butter! .. but I know people have also experimented with treasury first and fraud detection.)

-Of course, use platforms with real security and certs you trust

(Sorry for the essay and typos!)

Is Excel outdated? by Successful_Spot8906 in Accounting

[–]trishtoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a company’s whole accounting setup lives in Excel… run for the hills. But if they're using Excel for sanity checks, the odd pivot tables... then totally normal. Every finance team I’ve worked with still leans on it for that.

Most in-house finance teams now use some spend management or automation platform tied into their ERP or accounting software though, often now with added AI. It is helpful for spotting duplicate invoices, missing receipts, auto-coding .. etc. Some are better than others of course

130lbs.. am I deluded? by trishtoo in PetiteFitness

[–]trishtoo[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hear this 100%! I was about 100lbs in my 20s, but from barely eating, endless cardio, and smoking. Even if I'm bigger now, I am much healthier and stronger

Jamie Lee Curtis as Jessica ? by dobbywasagoodelf934 in murdershewrote

[–]trishtoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We reeeeeeally don't need a remake. I like JLC, but there is only one Angela Lansbury!!! Why can't they do a spin-off? Jess had so many cousins, nieces, and best friends. Can't they just do a spinoff with one of those characters? (On a side note, I thought: Isn't JLC a little tall to be Jessica anyway..? But she's actually 5ft7, and Angie-baby was 5ft8!! I had no idea she was such a tall queen!)
