Startups Decoded S2E14: When AI Chases Invoices Better Than You Do – Mihir Deo, Founder - Invoice Butler.
As AI moves from clever tool to “virtual teammate,” nowhere is the shift more real than in finance.
In this episode of Startups Decoded, Invoice Butler founder & CEO Mihir Deo joins Andy Walsh to explore what happens when AI agents start doing the unglamorous work humans have always done—chasing invoices, managing cash flow, and acting like your accounts team.
We unpack how Invoice Butler is quietly replacing manual accounts receivable workflows with an AI-powered, human-backed agent, what that means for trust, brand, and relationships, and why the future of finance teams is smaller, sharper, and heavily automated, not human-free.
