Financial Closing Assistant Demo | SAP Sapphire Orlando 2026

[See how SAP Financial Closing Assistant helps finance teams move from fragmented close tasks to coordinated, agent-led workflows. In this SAP Sapphire Orlando 2026 demo, Sophia Levens, Senior Vice President of SAP's Design System & Future Experiences, shows what it feels like to work in the Autonomous Enterprise. The video follows the Financial Closing Assistant as it coordinates agents across legal entities, ERP systems, currencies, and reconciliations to help finance teams close faster with fewer manual handoffs. The demo highlights how agents can surface approvals, propose accounting accruals, identify intercompany reconciliation variances, show root causes, and match records across currencies in a single click. With every approval, override, and comment, the system learns how the company closes, helping each period become sharper and more efficient than the last. Rather than simply automating scripts, the Financial Closing Assistant helps coordinate complex finance work with people in the loop, so teams can focus on exceptions, judgment, and decisions that matter.
