Basware Launches AI Agent Training for Finance Professionals
Basware rolled out a certification program designed to teach accounts payable professionals how to manage AI agents embedded in their daily work. The training targets AP clerks, invoice controllers, and finance team leaders with a practical, non-technical curriculum.
The program reflects a shift in how finance departments view AI. Rather than replacing workers, the agents handle routine tasks like data extraction, coding, and invoice routing-freeing staff to focus on decisions that require human judgment.
"AI is reshaping AP, making the teams driving it more efficient and productive, but it will not replace them," said Jason Kurtz, CEO of Basware. "To get the most out of AI agents, organizations need to treat them as digital employees, and that means training people not just to use AI, but to manage it."
What the Program Covers
The Basware Certified Invoice AI Agent Professional course is structured in three sections: understanding what AI agents can and cannot do, applying them to current workflows, and preparing for future finance operations.
Participants learn to identify which tasks are automated versus human-owned, perform AP activities with AI assistance, and build confidence working alongside these tools. The training uses Basware's Invoice Lifecycle Management platform to show how agents handle rule-based work while humans maintain control over exceptions and strategic decisions.
