Work that shouldn’t be manual.
Aveo Global finds, prices and eliminates the manual work inside finance operations, and measures itself on realized value, not hours saved.
Most finance-ops teams spend a third or more of their hours on work that no longer needs a person.
Invoices that fail the three-way match. Two reports that disagree about the same number. A person resolves each one, eight to fifteen minutes at a time.
Approvals that need a nudge. Data that lives in one system and is needed in another. The bridge between them is somebody's afternoon.
The month-end pack that takes three people four days. The exception queue that was “automated” and then quietly renamed.
None of it appears on a budget line, because it is spread across every salary. We call it Manual Load: the share of a function’s fully loaded hours spent on work that does not require the person doing it. In most order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and record-to-report teams, nobody owns that number.
Hours released is the number programs report. Realized value is the number your CFO sees.
The distance between the two is the Realization Gap. It is not a technology problem; most automation programs are technically fine. It is a decision that was never made: how the value would be converted, who owns it, and when. Released hours with no conversion path go to nobody. Exception queues get renamed rather than removed. Finance signs the business case and never the realized number.
Aveo treats the job as unfinished until the value shows up somewhere a CFO can see it.

How it continuesFounded by someone who has sat in the steering committee when the savings didn’t land.
Aveo was founded by Akshaj Kasliwal after years inside enterprise automation programs at Citi and a leading investment bank, where realized savings were measured in millions of dollars, and where he also saw the other kind: programs that reported tens of thousands of hours released while the cost base did not move.
The difference was never the technology. It was whether anyone had decided, before building, how the value would be converted and who would sign for it. That lesson is the whole of Aveo.
