Monie

The AI-run finance department

20 years in corporate finance, the last 8 in CFO roles for owner-led companies in the US, Europe and the UAE, now rebuilt to run on AI, which is why a business your size can afford a proper finance department. It catches every invoice, checks every transaction, and gives you a clear report and a live dashboard in the first week of each month.

A real person builds it, runs it, and finishes every job by hand.

Sample Monie client dashboard, the month in one view, the exceptions that need a decision, and the report

The dashboard every client gets. The month in one view, the exceptions that need a decision, and the report, refreshed each close. Sample data; figures are fictitious.

Why now

“When did you last actually see your numbers?”

“Who's chasing the money you're owed?”

“Ready for the corporate tax deadline?”

Most businesses see last month's numbers on the 25th, if at all. That's history, not information. And in the UAE, late or messy records are now a penalty risk, starting at AED 10,000 before you've filed a thing.

How a month runs

Five steps, on the calendar, every month

1

Capture

Suppliers send invoices to one dedicated address, or you forward them in two taps. The machine reads, files and logs every one, and flags any payment with no invoice behind it, because a missing invoice is a lost VAT claim.

2

Read

Day one after month end, your statements land in the shared folder. The machine reads every line, bank, card and cash, matches each payment to the invoice behind it, and queues anything it can't place for a person to look at.

3

Prepare

It codes every transaction, checks the bank reconciliation down to the last fils, and prepares the month's report in language an owner reads in five minutes. When something doesn't add up, it says so instead of papering over it.

4

Flag

Everything odd goes on a one-page exceptions memo, and that page comes first. A supplier paid twice. A bounced cheque. Cash with no name on it. Each with the decision it needs.

5

Approve

A human reviewer, your accountant or a qualified one we bring to the engagement, works the memo, keys any corrections, and signs off. Only then does anything become the record.

Under the hood

Your systems, one new brain

Nothing gets replaced. Your documents sit in a dedicated, access-controlled folder set up at the start of the engagement, and invoices arrive at one address, or by WhatsApp, or straight from your dashboard. The intelligence layer is Claude, the enterprise AI. You ask a question on your dashboard, your manager checks the answer, and it comes back to you, usually the same day. Running an ERP? The machine works from its exports the same way.

YOU

What did we spend on vehicles this quarter?

MONIE · via your manager

AED 14,230 across 11 transactions. Fuel 61%, rentals 26%, Salik and parking 13%. Two entries missing invoices, flagged. Source files attached.

Every answer is drafted by the machine and checked by a person before it reaches you. It runs under permissions you control and can revoke any day.

Division of labour

The machine drafts. People do the work.

The machine

Reads, matches and codes every transaction. Prepares the report and the dashboard. Builds your chase list. Files everything audit-ready. Answers questions through your manager, usually the same day.

Your people

Answer the exceptions. Make every judgment call. Post the entries. Approve anything that leaves. Own the machine outright.

What it's worth

Not a nice-to-have. Do the math.

Your next finance hire will cost AED 70,000 to 110,000 a year, loaded, and spend most of it on work a machine does in minutes. Late corporate tax registration alone is a AED 10,000 fine. And leaks add up quietly: we built a deliberately messy test company to prove the machine, and in a single month it flagged AED 73,800 of items nobody was watching, including a supplier paid twice.

Don't take those numbers on faith. Ask for the live walkthrough and watch the system run.

Services

What you get, and what it costs

The monthly close

Every supplier invoice caught and filed. Every bank, card and cash transaction read, matched and coded. The bank reconciled to the last fils. A one-page exceptions memo, your chase list, and a report you read in five minutes, with a live dashboard in the first week after month end. A human checks and signs off before any of it becomes the record.

From AED 5,000 a month, set to your volume.

Finance & CFO work

When you need more than the close: a deck for the bank, a costing model, a cash-flow plan, a board pack, a read on whether a deal makes sense. This is the finance work behind two decades in corporate finance and 8 years running finance for owner-led companies. We scope it and quote it per job.

Priced to the job. Never part of the monthly close.

How it starts

We wire the machine into your systems and set the playbooks for your business: the intake address your invoices go to, the folder you own, your reviewer, and the monthly calendar. Before you sign, watch it run live on a demonstration company, the same system, end to end.

Set up in your first weeks

Built on rules, not trust

The AI never posts to your ledger; every entry is keyed by a person. Nothing leaves without human sign-off. Your data stays in your own environment, revocable any day, never used to train models. Your files and your folder are yours, always. Leave any time and take them with you.

We prepare. Licensed accountants and registered tax agents sign and file. That separation protects you.

Works with what you have

You change nothing

Zoho Books: read and posted to directly. QuickBooks, Xero and Tally: a ten-minute monthly export. Excel and a drawer of paper: fully welcome, the machine works from whatever you have.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks

What if the AI gets something wrong?+
It flags; it never decides. Anything odd goes on the exceptions memo, and a human reviewer works that memo, keys any corrections, and signs off. Only then does it become the record. The AI never posts to your ledger.
Will my accountant hate this?+
No. It does the hours they don't want. The machine reads, matches and codes; your accountant keeps every judgment call, posts the entries, and signs off. We prepare; licensed accountants and registered tax agents sign and file.
Where does my data go?+
Into a dedicated, access-controlled folder that is yours, under permissions you control and can revoke any day. Your books stay in your own accounting system, in your own account. Never used to train models.
What happens when your team is on a plane?+
The close still runs. It's on the calendar every month, the work still gets done, and any qualified reviewer, yours or one we bring, can work the memo and sign off. Nothing hangs on one person being at a desk.
Are you accountants?+
We prepare; licensed accountants and registered tax agents sign and file. That separation protects you.
Can you do more than the monthly close?+
Yes. Board packs, a financing deck, a costing model, cash-flow planning, a read on a deal. That is our finance and CFO work. It is scoped and quoted per job, on top of the close, never part of the monthly close.
What does Monie cost?+
The monthly close starts at AED 5,000 a month and is set to your transaction volume, so a busier business pays more than a quiet one. We quote your exact number after a quick look at your books. Finance and CFO work, a board deck, a costing model, a cash-flow plan, is separate and quoted per job, only when you want it. Ask for the live walkthrough first: you watch the system run on a demonstration company before you sign.
