Meet Archie: The First CFO Agent for Technology Companies
Innovation moves fast, but finance has struggled to keep up. Too often, founders and finance teams are stuck with reactive tools, fragmented data, and reporting cycles that lag behind the business.
At Arc, our mission is to fuel innovation through intelligent financial products. Archie is the latest step toward that objective: an AI-powered CFO agent built directly into the platform where companies already manage their cash. With Archie, finance evolves from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage.
Why Build Archie
Business banking, even with neobanks, is still highly manual. Teams juggle spreadsheets, fragmented alerts, and late insights. Meanwhile, general-purpose AI tools can’t securely access live transaction data or reason over complex financial structures. Banks aren’t AI-native, and AI apps don’t have banking-grade trust, data, or workflows.
Archie closes that gap. It brings agentic AI into the heart of your finance stack: ingesting unstructured data, running complex calculations with transparent logic, and delivering clear recommendations – all inside a unified, secure platform. The result is strategy and execution for finance teams, delivered in real time.
Archie Today & Over Time
Today, Archie lives as an in-app agent connected to your accounting system. You can ask questions about your financials and receive real-time analysis, all without leaving the platform. Early adopters are already using Archie to understand runway, growth trends, and expense drivers in seconds.
And this is just the beginning. Over the coming months, we’re expanding data coverage, automating anomaly detection, and adding custom reports – moving steadily toward a world where finance runs on autopilot.
How We Built Archie
Archie stands on years of AI work at Arc. The foundation was first proven through Arc’s Capital Markets business, where our Arc Intelligence AI infrastructure has helped review thousands of companies and process billions of dollars in transaction volume across private credit. That same core AI technology now directly powers Arc's company-facing cash management workflows through Archie.
For Archie, we combined that expertise with our enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, including:
- Financial integrations and data processing that unify disparate information sources.
- Guardrailed reasoning for accuracy and transparency, with every output citing its source data and methodology.
- Privacy and security architecture embedded in Arc’s existing compliance stack.
The result is a CFO-grade AI agent that meets finance’s accuracy, reliability, and security standards.
