OpenAI and PwC expand AI use in finance operations

OpenAI and PwC are working together to bring AI agents into finance teams, with a focus on helping companies handle planning, forecasting, reporting, procurement, payments, treasury, tax, and the accounting close. The companies say the effort is aimed at improving workflows while keeping governance and human oversight in place. The collaboration is being built around real finance operations rather than prototypes alone. PwC and OpenAI are already developing a procurement agent inside OpenAI’s own finance organization and using those lessons to design more tools for enterprise finance teams. OpenAI says its finance group is acting as a test environment for these systems, using products such as ChatGPT and Codex in areas including investor relations, treasury, tax, reporting, corporate development, and contract review. The company says its internal team has used these tools to process more contracts with the same staff and manage investor interactions during a recent fundraise. PwC will contribute finance transformation, controls, and implementation expertise, while OpenAI provides the models and product capabilities. The companies say the goal is to help organizations modernize finance operations and apply AI in a controlled, practical way.
