The Problem

AI spend behaves like a shared corporate credit card

No ownership. No accountability. No early warning when things go wrong.

"Who is spending this, and on what?"
We got a $300K OpenAI invoice this quarter. Unless engineering proactively tags requests, calls are effectively "ghost costs" with no owner.
CFO Pain Point
"We can't close the books confidently"
At month-end close, we struggle to reconcile vendor AI invoices with internal records. CFOs can't close the books on AI spend without attribution.
Controller Pain Point
"Usage-based costs are hard to forecast"
Traditional methods assume linear growth—but small changes in prompt design or model choice can result in disproportionate cost swings.
FP&A Pain Point
A dashboard of token counts is not enough.
CFOs need reports explaining that $50K of GPT-4 spend went to the Support team's pilot, which is 10% over budget, with all details logged for audit.

That's what Finault delivers. Cost attribution. Budget enforcement. Audit-ready compliance.

The Platform

Turn AI bills from black box to itemized ledger

For a CFO or auditor, a dashboard of token counts is far less useful than a report explaining that $50K of GPT-4 spend went to the Support team's pilot—with all details logged.

Nothing about AI spend will slip through the cracks. Cross-check totals, flag usage anomalies, and catch cost spikes before they become budget catastrophes.

Finault provides documentation and audit trails to support compliance programs. We are not a certification body. Consult your compliance team for specific requirements.

When teams own their AI spend, behavior changes

The finance principle is simple: charge AI costs to team budgets, and overuse becomes self-correcting. Finault makes this possible by attributing every dollar to a real owner—automatically.
