Who Adopt is for
Two kinds of people use Adopt, and this knowledge base is organized around both. You might be one, or both.- Finance Professionals — CPAs, controllers, and CFO-org reviewers who need work prepared and reviewed. If someone has already set up an agent for you, you mostly live in the review queue: run a task, check the prepared output, approve it or send it back. Your track is the End user guide.
- Builders and Admins — the people who set the agents up: connecting data sources, defining what an agent does, deciding who can see what, and scheduling when it runs. Your track is the Builder guide.
What makes Adopt different
General-purpose AI tools generate an answer and hand it to you. Adopt is built for regulated finance work, so it adds guarantees those tools don’t:- A human-in-the-loop review gate that can’t be switched off. Prepared work waits for a reviewer. This is structural, not a setting.
- Strict data isolation per client. Work for one client is walled off from every other client’s data.
- Traceable output. You can always see which files and which run produced a given result.
- Domain skills. Agents use finance-specific capabilities — reading workpapers, querying structured tables, citing sources — rather than generic chat.
The review gate is the single most important idea in Adopt. If you read one concept article, make it Human-in-the-loop review.
What you can do with it
A few representative examples from finance and accounting:- Prepare R&D tax credit workpapers from payroll and project files, with citations.
- Run a month-end close checklist and flag exceptions for review.
- Prepare account and bank reconciliations and surface breaks.
- Draft variance analysis and CFO commentary from the numbers.
- Assemble audit support materials — evidence, workpapers, request tracking.
