OpenAI and PwC have teamed up to embed AI agents into the CFO function, targeting everything from planning and forecasting to procurement and treasury. The partnership builds on OpenAI’s internal experiments, where tools like ChatGPT and Codex already automate investor relations, tax reporting, and contract review. By creating production‑grade agents, the duo aims to turn finance workflows from manual chores into governed, AI‑assisted processes.

A pilot procurement agent already runs inside OpenAI’s own finance organization, feeding lessons into a broader library of agents for core finance rhythms. PwC contributes its transformation and controls expertise to move prototypes into enterprise environments, while Codex helps developers craft dashboards, spend trackers, and exception‑management tools that plug into existing systems. Governance features monitor token use and projected spend, giving CFOs visibility comparable to traditional operating costs.

OpenAI’s finance team reports processing five times more contracts with the same staff and handling over 200 investor interactions during its recent fundraise using these agents. Those internal results serve as “customer zero” proof points for the PwC collaboration, which promises to deliver repeatable, AI‑driven workflows across any enterprise finance stack. The joint effort now offers a concrete path for CFOs to adopt agentic automation without sacrificing control.
