Visma, a European accounting software company, operates over 600 AI initiatives across its portfolio of accounting businesses to automate accounting tasks like invoice processing and bank reconciliation. The company's AI applications focus on four value categories: automation saving time, anomaly detection, advisory insights, and agentic workflow automation, with portfolio companies like Chaintrust and Dinero implementing these technologies in production systems. This shift moves accountants from manual data entry work to higher-value advisory roles such as client consultation and financial analysis.
