Microsoft debuts Copilot for finance pros
Microsoft has launched a Copilot assistant for finance professionals that it says will automate repetitive processes and provide faster access to financial data.
The Copilot for Finance, unveiled last week, connects Microsoft’s productivity apps — most importantly, Excel and Outlook — with a customer’s existing financial systems to provide access to information using the Copilot interface.
“Copilot for Finance can streamline audits by pulling and reconciling data with a simple prompt, simplify collections by automating communication and payment plans, and accelerate financial reporting by detecting variances with ease,” Emily He, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for business applications marketing, said in a blog post.
