# Budget vs. Actuals Review for Fractional CFOs with Jirav

> AI builds the BvA view directly from QuickBooks Online, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.' Purpose-built for teams running Jirav — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## The Problem

Monthly Outsourced Finance BvA review is a ritual: open 12 tabs in QuickBooks Online, copy into Excel, highlight variances, guess at causes.

## What We Build in Jirav

AI builds the BvA view directly from QuickBooks Online, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.' Purpose-built for teams running Jirav — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Jirav Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Jirav configuration.** We map the specific Jirav objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your outsourced finance practice.
2. **Build on the Jirav API or agent.** Integration happens inside Jirav — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Jirav with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
