dry run
Templates are starting points, not rigid product flows.
Owners, thresholds, exceptions, and dry runs are part of the shape.
The workflow can keep changing as your finance stack changes.
Invoice processing
Move invoices from inbox to ERP with matching, policy checks, and approval evidence.
Extract invoice data from emails, validate against purchase orders, and post clean records to the ERP or general ledger.
Route invoices for approval based on amount thresholds, policy owners, and Slack notifications.
Flag duplicate invoices before payment so the team can prevent overpayment and document the review outcome.
Payment approval
Give finance teams a starting point for approval routing, timing, and evidence.
Route payment requests by amount: auto-approve low-risk items, require manager review for mid-tier, and CFO approval for high-value, then post the approved record to the ERP.
Prepare the vendor payment run from due dates and cash-flow constraints, gate it behind approval, and post the approved batch to the ERP with the evidence attached.
Bank reconciliation
Start with match rules, then route unmatched activity to owners with context.
Match bank transactions to invoices automatically and flag unmatched activity for accountant review.
Route unmatched transactions to accountants with enough context to resolve exceptions quickly.
Contract and billing
Use signed terms as the trigger for invoices, schedules, and revenue workflows.
Extract billing terms from signed contracts and create invoices in Stripe automatically.
Automate ASC 606 revenue recognition from payment subscriptions to the ERP or general ledger.
Reporting and alerts
Escalate missing work, cash thresholds, and close readiness before they become surprises.
Send Slack alerts when bank balance drops below threshold or unusual activity is detected.
Track reconciliation status and notify the team of pending items until close work is complete.
WORKFLOW TEMPLATES
These are build patterns, not screenshots. Each one shows the block sequence Loopfour uses to run a finance workflow across your existing systems, from the trigger that starts it to the approval gate and audit trail that close it out.
Pull invoices out of a shared AP inbox, read them with a scoped AI step, match against the purchase order in your ERP, and post the bill with an exception queue for anything that does not agree.
See the workflowRoute each invoice to the right approver based on amount thresholds and cost center, escalate on timeout, and record who approved what and when.
See the workflowCheck every incoming invoice against a running ledger of what you have already processed, score the match on vendor, amount, and invoice number, and route likely duplicates to a recorded review before anything is paid.
See the workflowUse the Stagehand browser block to log into a vendor or bank portal that has no API, download statements or invoices, extract the data, and post it, adapting to UI changes instead of breaking on them.
See the workflowTrigger on contract signature, extract the billing terms with a scoped AI step, confirm them against the linked CRM opportunity, and create the invoice in Stripe.
See the workflowA scheduled workflow reads the recognition schedule set up at invoice time, computes the amount to move from deferred to recognized, and posts the journal entries, each traceable back to its source contract.
See the workflowRead metered usage from a data table your product writes to, aggregate it against each customer pricing tier, flag anomalies for review, and raise the invoice in Stripe.
See the workflowPull the balance transactions behind each Stripe payout, break them into charges, fees, refunds, and chargebacks, match them to invoices and the clearing account, and post the journal entry, routing only true exceptions to a person.
See the workflowRead remittance detail as payments arrive, pull the open receivables from your ERP, match each receipt on amount and reference, and apply the cash, routing partials and unmatched receipts to a person.
See the workflowPull the bank transactions, match them to the general ledger on amount, date, and reference, auto-clear the matches, and send each unmatched item to an owner with everything they need to resolve it.
See the workflowA daily run re-reads open AR, sends escalating reminders as invoices age, routes high-value or long-overdue accounts to a collector, and simply skips anything that has been paid since the last run.
See the workflowCatch a billing request raised as a HubSpot ticket, classify it, gate the adjustment behind approval, post the credit memo or correction in Stripe or the ERP, and close the loop back to the ticket.
See the workflowTrigger on a closed-won opportunity, validate the billing fields, create the customer and the invoice in the ERP as separate steps, and route incomplete deals to sales ops instead of billing them wrong.
See the workflowTrigger on a won HubSpot deal, confirm the billing terms, gate custom terms, create the Stripe customer, start the subscription as a separate step, and write the status back so the CRM and billing stay in sync.
See the workflowOrchestrate the close as a set of sub-workflows, run reconciliations and checks in the right order, gather evidence at each step, and track readiness to a clean close.
See the workflowPull the current and prior trial balance, compare each account against the prior period, flag variances beyond a threshold, and ask the owner to confirm and explain each one, capturing the explanation against the account.
