Curia

Unlock more cash and capacity from finance.

Curia redesigns and runs workflows across the finance function to release working capital, recover revenue, strengthen control and give your team time back. Our AI agents do the chasing, matching and evidencing across your existing systems, with your team in control.

Agentic finance

Agentic finance means the work gets done.

AI agents for finance operations should do more than answer questions or draft a response. They complete controlled steps across a workflow, use the systems you already have, attach the evidence and bring your team only the decisions that need judgement.

Completes the workflow

Reads the source material, checks the records, prepares the action and keeps the work moving between systems.

Works inside your controls

Follows your rules and approval thresholds, records its evidence and routes exceptions to the right person.

Operated as a service

Curia monitors, maintains and improves each agentic workflow, so your finance team is not left managing another tool.

The problem

Why the back office grows with you.

Win a large contract, buy a company, double the volume, and finance grows with it. Not because anyone is inefficient. It is because most of the work is not accounting, it is coordination: stitching systems, chasing approvals, reconciling spreadsheets, forwarding emails. Coordination has quietly become the operating system of the back office, and a single tool does not fix it.

Coordination is a tax on growth. More volume needs more administration, so operating leverage stays flat.

More volume without more administrators
More control without more process overhead
More growth without more back-office cost

We replace the coordination tax with work that runs itself, under your direction.

Why cost scales

Volume × human minutes × loaded cost.

Back-office cost grows when transaction volume and human effort grow together. Software digitised the transactions, but left people coordinating the gaps between systems.

01

Volume

Every invoice, order, reconciliation or acquisition adds another unit of work.

02

Human minutes

People still chase, match, copy, check and evidence each unit across disconnected systems.

03

Loaded cost

The only way to absorb more work is to add people, contractors or overtime.

Remove the routine human minutes and volume stops setting headcount.

The value

Lower cost. Faster cash. More useful finance time.

Coordination leaves work waiting. Remove that waiting and the value appears in three places.

01

Grow without growing the back office

Routine work runs continuously, so more customers, transactions and acquisitions do not require the same increase in headcount.

02

Get cash into the business sooner

Clean work moves straight through. Billing, collections and resolutions spend less time waiting, releasing working capital to use elsewhere.

03

Give the team time back

Finance spends less time chasing, matching and rebuilding evidence, and more time on analysis, decisions and the business.

The balance is different for every workflow.

The assessment estimates the payback from your volumes, cycle times and costs before you commit to building anything.

Where it shows up

The same failure, in six places.

Anywhere two systems should agree and a person reconciles them by hand, the same three costs appear.

Order to cash

Evidence chased, prices checked, and invoices raised when they are clean rather than on the weekly run.

Accounts payable

Every invoice matched to the order, the contract rate and the receipt before you pay, not after.

Month-end close

Reconciliations prepared and variances explained before the team sits down, not during.

Management accounts

The board pack assembled from every system of record, with your team reading the story instead of building the spreadsheet.

Procurement

Requests checked against budget, supplier and framework, then turned into purchase orders without the chase.

Add-on integration

Each acquisition's finance plugged into the group's controls and reporting, rather than rebuilt by hand.

Each one is the same failure: two systems that should agree, reconciled by a person, and evidenced afterwards by hand.

Picture this running for your finance team.

This is an example, not a template.

Today · the coordination tax

The monthly pack is rebuilt by hand from numbers that never quite agree, pulled from different systems, chased from different people, and late more often than not.

What stays with your team

The narrative and the judgement calls stay yours, your team reviews and signs off, instead of assembling.

This is an example, not a template.

Every process is different, and so is every team, so we build yours from scratch, around how your people actually work. It's not software you configure to fit. It's a bespoke service, designed completely for you. The assessment is where we work out which process earns its place first, and what's realistic on your data.

Why now

Growth demands more from the same team.

Margin has more work to do, experienced finance capacity is harder to add, and AI can now complete controlled work across the systems you already use.

Margin must do more
Growth creates less value when the operating cost beneath it rises at the same rate.
Finance capacity is scarce
Hiring more people for repetitive coordination is expensive, slow and difficult to sustain.
Tools have not changed the workflow
AI spend disappoints when a new tool is placed on top of the same process. The work itself has to change.

The opportunity is to redesign the workflow so cost stops scaling with volume.

What's different

We do not leave you with another tool to manage.

A tool makes one person faster at a task. We change how the whole job gets done — people, process and AI together, and then keep running it for you.

Buying software
—

You get a tool that someone still has to run.

—

Your team stays busy stitching systems and chasing exceptions.

—

Faster, maybe. The work, and the cost, remain.

Working with Curia

We map and redesign the work around what AI genuinely does well.

We lead your people through the change, so the team adopts it rather than resisting it.

We build the agents, operate them, and keep improving the service.

Most transformations fail on the people, not the technology, so that is where we start. Your numbers still tie out. Your sign-offs still hold.

We lead the change
Process mapping and the human side come first, the part that decides whether any of this actually takes.
Human + AI, end to end
Consultants who redesign the work, plus AI we build and run for you, one team, not a hand-off.
We de-risk it
One workflow, proven on your data before you commit further. Staged and managed, never big-bang.
How we work

Start with one workflow. Prove the value. Then scale.

We do the work of redesigning, building and operating it. Your team keeps the decisions, exceptions and sign-off.

01

Assess

A quick, fixed-fee assessment using your own numbers. We identify where the value sits and agree the first workflow worth proving.

Find the value
02

Prove

We build the workflow in your environment and test it on your data. Nothing goes live until the performance and controls are agreed with your team.

Evidence before commitment
03

Run

We operate it as a managed service, priced per workflow. We add the next workflow only when the first has earned it.

Scale what works

One contained starting point. Evidence before commitment. No transformation programme to manage.

The platform

Your team sets the rules. Curia runs the workflow.

People retain control of decisions, exceptions and sign-off. The routine work happens continuously, with the evidence already attached.

Approval stays with your team

You choose where a person must review, approve or make the judgement call.

Exceptions in one place

Anything the agent cannot resolve arrives in one queue, with the reason and the source document.

Evidenced by default

Every action traces back to a document and a person. The trail exists before anyone asks for it.

Runs in your environment

Deployed inside your tenancy and your boundary.

Nothing trains a public model

Your data is never used to train third-party models.

Tested before it runs

The workflow is tested on your data and signed off by your team before it goes live.

Who it's for

The teams we're built for.

01
PE-backed companies growing fast
Revenue is climbing through contracts and acquisitions, and the back office is climbing with it.
02
Groups running several businesses
Each one closing on different systems and different logic, consolidated by hand.
03
Work that is still done by hand
Reconciliations, approvals, reporting, procurement and billing, stitched together across spreadsheets and email.
04
No one to build this in-house
You want a partner who maps it, leads the change and runs it, not another tool to manage.
The next step

Thirty minutes to find out what yours is worth.

Bring the process that annoys you most. We will tell you whether it is the kind of thing we can fix and roughly what it is worth. If it is not worth fixing, we will say so.
