What is the short answer?
Short answer: ChatFin is an enterprise AI agent platform for finance that runs on your existing ERP across close, AP, AR, FP&A, treasury and tax. Yoraito is a narrower close, AP and AR layer where every reported number is computed by saved SQL that a reviewer or auditor can rerun. Choose ChatFin for broad agent coverage across the CFO office; choose Yoraito when rerunnable evidence decides.

What does ChatFin do well?
- Breadth. Agents across the CFO office, not just the close.
- ERP coverage. A wide list of enterprise ERPs, including SAP and JD Edwards.
- ERP-native approach. No migration; the ERP stays the system of record.
- Human in the loop. ChatFin states that judgment, thresholds and sign-off stay with the client's team.
Where is Yoraito different?
- The number is computed, not generated. Approved rules run as deterministic SQL on a DuckDB engine. The model isn't in the loop on every run, so totals don't drift between runs.
- Evidence a third party can rerun. Your auditor gets the query, its inputs, the result and the signer, and can reproduce the figure without Yoraito.
- Labelled AI. Every AI draft is labelled Evidenced, Likely or Needs owner.
- Mid-market ledgers. Direct connectors for QuickBooks, Xero and Zoho Books as well as NetSuite.
- A service option. Assisted Close runs the close for you.
Who should not switch to Yoraito?
- Enterprises on SAP, JD Edwards or several large ERPs that need one agent platform across AP, AR, treasury, FP&A and tax.
- Teams whose main goal is conversational analytics over the ERP.
- Teams that need inventory, landed-cost or tax-filing agents.
What should we ask both vendors in a demo?
- Show last month's bank reconciliation on my data. Why did each line match?
- Run the same reconciliation twice. Do the totals match to the cent?
- How would my auditor reproduce one reconciled balance without your product?
- What can the AI write to in my ERP, under which role, and who approves?
- What happens when the AI isn't sure?
