AI controller in Symfio
Conrad is an AI controller and analyst that works directly on your data in Symfio. Ask “why did our margin drop last month?” and he answers with specific numbers before you have time to open a report. For a single company or a group of dozens of entities.
Do any of these situations sound familiar?
- You wait for someone to go through a report to answer a simple question about the numbers
- You find out about cost deviations only at the management meeting
- You write the commentary on results for management from scratch every month
- In a group of companies, you hunt for the entity behind a change
- Your controller spends days searching instead of explaining
- You don’t trust AI tools because they make up numbers
Not another chatbot stuck onto a dashboard
Conrad lives directly in your data in Symfio. In the first phase he works on the income statement and speaks the language of finance, not marketing.
You ask, Conrad answers
He understands the context of your company and the whole group and answers specifically, with numbers you can rely on. For example:
- Why did our operating margin drop?
- Which costs are growing fastest?
- How are our revenues compared with last year?
He watches what you would miss
Unusual cost movements, revenue drops, swings in profitability. Conrad sees them in the income statement first and flags them to you himself.
He explains, not just reports
Instead of another chart, he tells you what happened and why, in wording you can paste straight into the management report.
One colleague who speaks everyone’s language
In finance, “almost right” isn’t good enough
We built Conrad the opposite way from most AI tools on the market: reliability first, then speed.
He relies only on your verified data
Conrad doesn’t work with estimates and doesn’t make up numbers. Every answer comes from the data you have in Symfio, connected directly to your accounting.
When he isn’t sure, he says so
Instead of hallucinating, he admits that he doesn’t know the answer or that data is missing. For a tool your decisions rely on, that is the difference between a helper and a toy.
He understands the company and the whole group
He knows the structure of your income statement, your cost centres and the entities in your group. He tells you not only what changed, but also where.
He grows with your data
With every new area Conrad can see, there is more he can help you with. From “what happened” to “what will happen”.
From the income statement to the full financial picture of your company
Income statement
Conrad starts as a controller and analyst on the income statement: he answers questions, watches deviations and explains results.
Plan vs. actuals
Once you add a plan. Conrad compares actuals with what you expected and flags deviations himself.
Balance sheet and cash flow
Next, you extend his scope to the balance sheet and cash flow, so he sees the full financial picture of the company.
Planning, budgeting and forecasting
After that, Conrad will help you look ahead too, including the cash flow forecast.

What you ask us most often
How is Conrad different from an ordinary AI chatbot?
An ordinary chatbot answers from general knowledge and can easily make up a number. Conrad works exclusively with your data in Symfio and understands the structure of your income statement, cost centres and group entities. If he can’t find the answer in the data, he says so.
Do I need Symfio to use Conrad?
Yes. Conrad is part of the Symfio platform and works on the data Symfio loads from your accounting or ERP system. If you don’t use Symfio yet, the first step is connecting your accounting, which usually takes tens of minutes to a few hours.
Who is Conrad for?
For everyone who works with numbers: accountants, controllers and finance directors. He suits a single company as well as a group of dozens of entities.
When will Conrad be available?
The first release is under way now. In the next phase we will open Conrad to all interested clients.
