AI value your CFO will actually trust — with journal entries to match.
Every dollar of value says where it came from — a versioned formula, a synced source record, or a named person's entry — and none of it counts until it's approved. When you're ready, Roiva posts the period's accruals back to QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Xero as journal entries — so the ROI you report and the ledger your auditor reads are the same number.
The problem
AI vendors quote outsized ROI. Boards want a number that holds up to scrutiny. Spreadsheets do not survive turnover, and an ROI dashboard your accounting system has never seen does not survive an audit.
Example initiatives
What teams are tracking with Roiva
A few of the initiative templates ready to deploy from the in-app library. Each ships with a default formula, baseline, and recommended integrations.
AP automation
Invoice processing time × labor rate × volume. Versioned formula; auditable inputs.
Close & reconciliation AI
Days-to-close reduction tracked monthly; offset against software + token cost.
Cloud + AI cost observability
Sync spend from AWS / GCP / Azure / Anthropic / OpenAI; allocate to initiatives by tag, custom property, or rule.
Journal-entry write-back
Post period accruals to QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Xero — using the GL mapping you've already set up, with idempotency built in so re-runs never double-post.
Connects to
Pulls cost and value automatically
The integrations most relevant for Finance & Accounting initiatives. Each syncs cost or value data so your dashboards stay current without spreadsheet maintenance.
Common questions
AI ROI for Finance & Accounting — FAQ
What makes Roiva's AI ROI calculations audit-defensible?
Every value entry says where it came from. A calculated entry keeps the versioned formula and a snapshot of its inputs, so if you change the formula six months later, prior calculations keep the formula and inputs they were computed against. A synced entry keeps the connection and the IDs of the source records behind it; for a month of deflected tickets, that is the full count and a sample of the IDs. An entry a person made names who made it, their notes, and the documents they cite, or shows that it cites none. None of it counts toward ROI until it's approved.
Does Roiva post journal entries back to my accounting system?
Yes — Roiva supports period-end journal-entry write-back to QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and Xero. You define the GL mapping (which Roiva cost types map to which accounts, with optional class / department / tracking-category dimensions), Roiva builds the balanced JE, and posts it with an idempotency key so a re-run on the same period is a no-op rather than a duplicate. The resulting GL entry is the same number you report in your ROI dashboard.
How does Roiva track AI infrastructure costs across providers?
Roiva syncs billed spend from Anthropic, OpenAI, and GitHub, cloud cost from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and platform spend from Snowflake and Databricks. Spend is attributed to initiatives by AWS cost-allocation tag, Azure resource tag, GCP budget, service-name mapping, a fixed share, or an allocation rule. Spend no initiative claims is not spread across them to make the total add up: it shows as unattributed, in dollars. Where the same dollar reaches Roiva twice, such as Databricks usage that also appears on your Azure bill, Roiva either leaves the duplicate out or, where it cannot safely tell them apart, counts both and reports the overlap on the Cost Coverage page. Roiva sees only what you connect, so AI bought on a card that was never wired up stays outside the total.
Can Roiva track budget vs. actual for each AI initiative?
Yes. When an initiative is approved, Roiva records its budget: a CapEx total and an OpEx rate, taken from the business case as it stood at approval. Every cost entry from then on is counted against it, per initiative and across the portfolio. A revision is a new version with a reason, never an edit, and an increase that takes a budget above your approval threshold waits for the account Owner before it applies.
Can finance teams export Roiva data for board reporting?
Yes — Roiva supports CSV and Excel exports of full ROI reports, plus a champion-forwardable executive-summary PDF and a PBC packet (period-end audit pack with reconciliations and the JE write-back trail) suitable for board decks and audit fieldwork.
Does Roiva support multi-currency or international finance teams?
Roiva supports configuring currencies per account and per initiative. Cost and value entries are stored in their native currency with FX context preserved.
