Designed as persona-based collaborative partners with deep domain

expertise, the Board financial planning and analysis agent for cash flow

analysis understands the operational drivers behind cash management.

This allows finance teams to run structured analysis much faster with

considerable productivity gains.

It gives full traceability into the main drivers of any variance so

teams can make decisions with confidence and also quickly helps with assessing

risks and opportunities.

So let's take a quick look.

Directly from any screen in Board, you can reach your agent with a simple click and

access a set of predefined prompts or create your own.

The Board agents, in fact, are context aware and always follow users in

their interaction with the Board platform.

What you are seeing now is how the Board agent for cash flow analysis makes this

process much simpler. Instead of building reports, the

user simply asks a business question.

Here, as user, I have just asked the agent to run a cash flow variance

analysis between actuals and budget, and to explain what's driving the

difference. The agent creates an execution plan, shown here

as a series of steps. The agent understands finance, the

underlying Board data model, and how cash flow is built from the

profit and loss and balance sheet.

Once the reasoning is complete, the answer starts streaming.

The Board agent has analyzed the net cash position across operating,

investing, and financing activities, identified the key variance points,

and found the main drivers affecting liquidity.

Once these high level cash flow variances are quantified, the agent goes a step

further. It identifies which legal entities are primarily responsible

for the net cash flow variance. Then it runs a root cause analysis,

linking those variances back to underlying business drivers like revenue shifts,

CapEx changes, or working capital movements across the profit and

loss and balance sheet.

We can clearly see that Nordics is the single largest contributor to the

variance.

So the CFO can drill deeper into a monthly trend analysis for Nordics

and see the actual versus budget net cash flow in a line chart,

highlighting the key months that drive the variance.

This happens instantly with the Board agent with no need to rebuild reports

or switch context.

A critical point here is trust. Every number the agent

provides can be checked directly in the data source tab, which shows the

exact rows, columns, and selections used for the agent's answer.

This gives users confidence that the insights are explainable,

auditable, and based on real data.

Continuing with the analysis, we can see that the agent provides built-in

recommendations for further analysis.

For example, the working capital deep dive for underperforming entities is

very useful.

With a single click, the CFO can quantify the 2025

actual versus budget variances in accounts receivable,

inventory, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, and

translate them into cash flow impact and corrective actions for underperforming

entities. The well-formatted answer includes the working capital

variances and cash impact, root cause analysis by entity,

and targeted corrective actions to take the analysis further.

One of the most requested features from our users is the ability to produce

visualizations in real time during analysis.

Here, the user asks for a waterfall chart based on the cash flow analysis we have

just done. The agent generates the waterfall chart

instantly based on the context of the cash flow analysis, showing the

2025 actual versus budget working capital cash

impact across the four entities, along with its interpretations.

The chart can be zoomed in and downloaded for presentations or further

analysis. This is a real-time insight ready for executives.

Let's quickly recap the main capabilities of the Board financial planning and

analysis agent for cash flow analysis.

Our agents are use cases specific.

It's like having a financial specialist working alongside us, operating within our

dimensional model. They translate business questions using natural

language into structured cash flow analysis across the balance sheet,

profit and loss, and cash flow, decomposing any variance

into operating, investing, financing, and all the different

cash layers.

They also attribute variances to the underlying drivers behind them, and most

importantly, they suggest next steps, recommend further

analysis, and generate visuals for executive reporting.
