AI agent for office managers

Office Budget Tracking Agent

Weekly view of office spend against budget with early warnings

Office Budget Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Office budgets cover supplies, cleaning, repairs, software and events, and overspending is often found a quarter too late. Each week this agent pulls card and invoice spend, sorts it into budget lines and compares year-to-date totals with the plan. It flags lines trending over and items it cannot categorize. When unclear, it asks the person who spent for a category, then updates. An annual subscription paid in one month looks like a spike, so it spreads it over the year in the projection. It projects year-end spend by line and checks the total still fits. It drafts a short note with what to watch and options. The manager approves any move between budget lines.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensBy June repairs were at 70% of budget, projecting 140% by year end. Two charges were uncategorized, so the agent asked the spender, who confirmed they were a plumber. They stayed in repairs, and the projection check still failed. The agent suggested moving 1,500 dollars from events, which was tracking at 40%. The manager approved the move.
