For CFOs
Approve AI Agents Without Owning All The Risk
Mount helps CFOs understand, control, and insure the financial risk of AI agents before they move money, access data, or make business decisions.
No deep integration required to start. We begin with the workflow, permissions, controls, and maximum action value.
Risk Authority Map
CFO Financial Risk Review
Gap
Decision file:
Finance operations agent: AP review, vendor messages, approvals
Support refund agent: Customer impact and refund authority
Sales agent: Quotes, discounts, customer promises
Signals:
Action authority: Invoice prep, vendor messages, approvals
Controls: Approval thresholds, segregation, rollback
Risk transfer: Workflow-level AI liability path
Trust Band
AI Trust Band: Risk, Controls & Board Clarity
ROI: Turn AI productivity into a budgeted business decision.
Tail risk: Replace open-ended exposure with limit, retention, and exclusions.
Controls: Fund safeguards that reduce loss and premium ambiguity.
Board answer: Show what is covered, what is retained, and what must be fixed.
The CFO Problem
The issue is if the company knows AI's downsides.
AI budgets are moving from experiment to production. Once agents take business actions, the CFO is underwriting the risk internally unless it is measured, controlled, and transferred.
01.
The productivity upside is visible. The failure cost is not.
02
Existing insurance may not answer cleanly.
03.
A loss without evidence becomes a finance problem.
What Mount Does
We turn agent risk into a finance decision file.
Not a generic AI policy. Not a security questionnaire that dies in procurement. A declared workflow with authority, exposure, controls, claim evidence, and a first insurance decision.
What CFOs Buy
Faster AI Approval with Budgetable Downside
A CFO does not buy “AI coverage.” A CFO buys a way to say yes without owning the whole downside.
Budget: Faster AI approval.
Balance sheet: Budgetable downside.
Controls: Clear control ROI.
Governance: Board-ready answer.
Where To Start
Start with agents that can create a financial event.
Finance: AP, AR, procurement, bookings.
Support: Refunds, tickets, customer records.
Revenue: Sales, renewals, quotes.
Operations: Code, APIs, internal systems.
