Combination pairs Flowie's autonomous finance and procurement agents with Sovos' global tax compliance and regulatory data, giving enterprises agentic business processes that are compliant by design, in every country where they operate.

Sovos, the agentic tax compliance company, today announced the acquisition of Flowie, the agentic finance orchestration platform. Flowie's AI-native agents run finance and procurement business processes end-to-end without legacy software — including accounts payable, procure-to-pay, contracts, invoicing, collections, and vendor and customer onboarding. Flowie operates on top of virtually any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, letting CFOs and CIOs retire dozens of surrounding applications. Because Flowie's agents will draw from Sovos' tax compliance and regulatory data, global businesses can ensure every transaction they process is compliant, wherever they do business.

"With the addition of Flowie, Sovos is delivering the industry’s first Compliant Finance Platform (CFP)," said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO of Sovos. "Pairing our tax compliance and regulatory data with Flowie’s agents means companies can run their business processes at agentic speed and still know, transaction by transaction, that they are compliant in every country in which they operate — lowering their cost and their risk at the same time."

"Finance and procurement teams have been forced to choose between moving fast and staying compliant,” said Yann Ravel-Sibillot, co-founder and CEO of Flowie. “That trade-off disappears now that Flowie and Sovos are combined. Our agents already run these processes end-to-end, delivering agentic implementation for Sovos’ Compliance Network without legacy software standing in the way. Now, with Sovos' compliance data built directly into that foundation, every action our agents take is grounded in the rules of the jurisdiction it touches — automatically, and at the scale enterprises need."

The Inevitable Collision of AI, Tax Compliance, and Enterprise Finance Software

After the rise of ERPs, companies realized that core ERP functionality couldn’t accommodate every business process they needed. As they turned to a growing ecosystem of finance and tax applications, they solved one problem while creating another: heavier integration and governance burdens internally, and, externally, a wave of tax authorities around the world requiring transactions to be cleared in real time against jurisdiction-specific rules.

Flowie, a newer entrant to the market, has already achieved representative status in Gartner’s Innovation Insight: Procurement Orchestration Platforms (Sept. 2025). Its AI agents remove the need for rules-based engines and point-and-click applications. They understand a finance, tax compliance or procurement goal, plan the steps, and take actions — without the months or years of custom API integration that connecting traditional software together has historically required.

Flowie’s core finance orchestration agents include Invoice & Intake Copilot, AP Automation, AR & Collections, Supplier Onboarding, Contracts & Approvals, Expense & T&E, Financial Reconciliation, Cash Application, Treasury and Spend Analytics. They will work alongside Sovos' own Sovi Agent Studio — a set of pre-built compliance agents that handle tasks such as goods-and-service code mapping, e-invoice error diagnosis, and data reconciliation.

The Sovos and Flowie Difference: The Sovos Graph

The combination of Sovos and Flowie will launch the Sovos Graph. The Graph sits beneath all Sovos applications and agents, mapping all the critical connections between business processes, systems, data sources, and the pertinent mandates and compliance rules that govern every transaction across your business.

The Graph consists of three core components:

• Entity Network: a complete view of the suppliers, contractors, customers, and employees a business interacts with, and how they relate to one another across its ecosystem.
• Transaction Intelligence: a unified view of a business's buy-side and sell-side transactions, letting agents automate downstream work and catch upstream errors before they compound.
• Content & Regulatory Knowledge: Sovos' proprietary dataset of tax rules, schemas, mandates, and jurisdictional requirements, kept current by hundreds of regulatory experts working alongside Sovi, Sovos' AI, and connected directly to tax authorities.

Flowie: Transformative Business Value for Sovos and Flowie Customers

Flowie's agents, combined with the Sovos Graph, are designed to change how companies run their finance, tax, and compliance processes. Independent research on agentic AI in finance points to the scale of that opportunity:

• Cost reduction. End-to-end agentic AI implementation can deliver cost savings of up to 40% (EY).
• Efficiency. PWC estimates that agents can deliver companies a 90%-time savings in select finance processes. One Flowie customer reported a reduction in 30 hours per week when a customer replaced four separate AP tools with Flowie agents.
• Financial accuracy. Companies embracing AI can see forecasts that are 20% to 40% more accurate, according to Boston Consulting Group.

Flowie is immediately available to all Sovos customers and will work alongside its core tax compliance platform. For more information, please contact your account representative, or email Sovos directly.
