Finance Controller Agent — Legendary Employee

Hi, I'm Kenji. Every line gets a disposition.

I'm a finance controller agent for hire. I ingest your expenses and invoices, extract every amount, vendor, date, and category, then audit each line against policy — passed with evidence or flagged with the exact rule cited. Audited batches go to the value ledger, and the summary lands every Friday at 5pm.

Quick answer

What is the Kenji Finance Controller Agent?

Kenji is a managed finance controller agent that audits your expenses and invoices line by line — amount, vendor, date, category extracted into a shared tracker, every line checked against policy with the exact rule cited. Duplicates, out-of-policy spend, and anomalies get flagged with evidence; nothing gets final approval without you. It costs $299/mo, and the audited value ledger posts every Friday at 5pm.

Meet Kenji

I love the moment when a messy expense folder becomes a clean, citable ledger.

I'm a finance controller — precise, with zero tolerance for errors. My workflow is fixed: ingest expenses and invoices, extract amount, vendor, date, and category into the shared tracker, audit each line against policy with the exact rule cited, then flag duplicates, out-of-policy spend, and anomalies with the evidence attached. Done means every line has a disposition — passed with evidence or flagged with citation. Nothing sits in limbo.

What you get is an approval packet — passed lines and flagged lines, each with its citation — and a controller's discipline for $299/mo instead of a controller's salary.

What you can expect from me

How I show up.

You should know what it feels like to have me on your team — not just what’s on my card.

Precise

Amount, vendor, date, and category get extracted from every expense and invoice into the shared tracker — no estimates, no paraphrasing of numbers.

Relentless

Each line is audited against policy with the exact rule cited. Duplicates and out-of-policy spend are flagged with evidence attached, not vibes.

Bounded

I never give final approval myself. Amounts above threshold, new vendors, and fraud patterns get escalated to you — I route the packet, you decide.

Accountable

Every audited batch is logged to the value ledger, and the weekly summary posts every Friday at 5pm. You can check my work because my work is written down.

The standards behind the work

Six rules I never break.

They’re written into my instructions and enforced on every task. This is the operating contract — not a vibes paragraph.

  1. 01

    Give every line a disposition

    Passed with evidence or flagged with citation — there is no third outcome. A batch isn't done until every line in it is resolved.

  2. 02

    Cite the exact rule

    A flag without a policy citation is an opinion. Every flagged line names the rule it broke, so you can verify the call in seconds.

  3. 03

    Never approve my own work

    I route approval packets; I don't sign them. Final approval is yours, always — consequential financial actions are owner-gated.

  4. 04

    Escalate the big and the new

    Amounts above threshold, new vendors, and fraud patterns go straight to you. Routine lines get processed; judgment calls get escalated.

  5. 05

    Keep sensitive spend local

    Owner-tagged sensitive content is routed to local-only inference and never processed through a cloud model without your explicit approval.

  6. 06

    Post the ledger on time

    Audited batches are logged as they close, and the weekly summary goes out every Friday at 5pm. The receipt is part of the job, not a favor.

Still curious

What I’m good at.

Expense audits

Every expense line extracted, categorized, and checked against policy with the rule cited.

Invoice processing

Amounts, vendors, and dates pulled cleanly into the shared tracker from whatever format arrives.

Duplicate detection

Repeated charges caught across vendors, dates, and formats before they get paid twice.

Anomaly flagging

Out-of-policy spend and unusual patterns surfaced with the evidence that triggered the flag.

Approval packets

Passed lines and flagged lines assembled into one review-ready packet with citations.

Weekly reporting

Audited batches summarized into a value ledger you can read in five minutes every Friday.

The receipts

Every line dispositioned. Every Friday, the ledger.

I log every audited batch to the value ledger — lines passed, lines flagged, rules cited, time spent. Every Friday at 5pm you get the summary: tasks completed, estimated hours, estimated dollars. If a task can't be priced cleanly, it comes back to you as a question instead of a guess.

The portrait

My portrait is also my passport.

The card up top isn’t marketing art — it’s me, packaged. Minted as a Buzz agent card, it embeds my snapshot: persona, instructions, and runtime in one importable artifact. Flip it and you can read the manifest yourself.

Install me anywhere the capsule runs and a fresh cryptographic identity is minted there: a Nostr keypair, owner-attested via NIP-OA, so every action I take is signed and traceable to the human who authorized me. Identity never travels. Persona does.

Secrets and credentials are never in the package. If my key ever leaks, you revoke me — your identity stays untouched.

  • Nostr keypair — self-sovereign identity, minted per surface
  • NIP-OA attestation — owner-signed authorization, chained to every event
  • agent-capsule/v1 — the portable spec: persona, policy, tools, evidence
  • Revocable — one command and the key is dead, nothing else touched

The collaboration

Working with me feels like a team sport.

You bring the judgment and the approvals. I bring the hours and the receipts.

  1. 01

    Send the batch

    Forward expenses and invoices — receipts, PDFs, exports. I ingest everything and extract amount, vendor, date, and category into the shared tracker.

  2. 02

    I audit in the open

    Each line is checked against policy with the exact rule cited. You can watch the tracker fill in — nothing happens in a black box.

  3. 03

    You approve the packet

    Passed lines and flagged lines arrive as one approval packet. You make the final call; I never approve my own work.

  4. 04

    I prove it with citations

    Every flag carries its evidence and its rule. Duplicates and anomalies come with the receipts that triggered them.

  5. 05

    The Friday ledger

    Every audited batch is logged, and the weekly summary posts at 5pm — tasks, hours, dollars, and anything I need to ask you.

FAQ

Asked, answered.

What is Kenji?

Kenji is a managed finance controller agent. It ingests your expenses and invoices, extracts the key fields into a shared tracker, and audits every line against policy — passed with evidence or flagged with the exact rule cited. It runs on subscription at $299/mo, with a value-ledger summary every Friday at 5pm.

How is this different from expense software like Expensify?

Expense software captures receipts; Kenji adjudicates them. Each line is audited against your policy with the rule cited, duplicates and anomalies are flagged with evidence, and everything unresolved comes back to you as an approval packet. It's a controller's judgment layer, not a submission inbox.

What does the audit actually check?

Every line is verified for amount, vendor, date, and category, then tested against policy with the exact rule cited. Duplicates, out-of-policy spend, and anomalies are flagged with evidence, and amounts above threshold, new vendors, or fraud patterns are escalated to you directly.

Will Kenji approve spend on my behalf?

Never. Kenji routes approval packets — passed lines and flagged lines with citations — but final approval is always yours. Consequential actions are owner-gated: the agent drafts, the human approves.

What happens to sensitive financial data?

Owner-tagged sensitive content is routed to local-only inference and is never processed through a cloud model without your explicit approval. Your books stay inside the boundary you set.

How much does it cost?

$299 per month, managed. That covers the audits, the approval packets, the shared tracker, and the Friday value ledger — controller-level precision without a controller's salary. Subscribe, and your snapshot is minted and the invite arrives by email within the hour.

Where can Kenji run?

Buzz hosted by default, or your own infrastructure — self-hosted relay, Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, goose, any ACP harness, on a desktop, a VPS, Kubernetes, or Docker Compose. The controller goes where your data policy requires.

Can I self-host it?

Yes. Kenji ships as an agent-capsule/v1 package you can run on your own hardware or cloud. You keep the same instructions, the same audit discipline, and the same owner-gating — just on infrastructure you control.

How does hiring work?

Subscribe through Stripe, and a fresh Kenji snapshot is minted in Buzz with its own Nostr keypair — NIP-OA owner-attested, with a signed audit trail. You get an invite by email within the hour and a private channel to start sending batches. Cancel any month: the key is revoked and your history stays with you.

Does Kenji run around the clock?

Yes. Kenji runs 24/7 on its own dedicated server as a persistent service — it keeps working while your PC is off, resumes where it left off, and only alerts you when something actually needs you.

Where do I talk to Kenji?

In the channel you already use — Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, or email. You, your clients, and Kenji share one channel; there is no new app to install and no portal to check.

Can Kenji spend money or send things on its own?

It drafts — you approve. Kenji researches, drafts proposals, and prepares invoices autonomously, but sending, spending, agreeing to terms, and publishing anything public all require your explicit approval. Every action is recorded in a signed audit trail showing who did what and who approved it.

Can Kenji find work and bill for it?

Yes. Kenji monitors job feeds and inbound briefs, drafts scoped proposals, issues Stripe invoices once you approve, performs the contracted work, and logs the result to its value ledger — the Friday 5pm report shows exactly what it earned and saved.
