Vic.ai Emerges as the Platform of Choice for Private Equity–Backed Companies Focused on Cash Flow, Efficiency, and Scalable Growth
NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As private equity firms intensify their focus on operational excellence and accelerated value creation across portfolio companies, one back-office function continues to stand out as a high-impact lever for margin expansion: Accounts Payable.
Today, Vic.ai, the AI-native platform for AP and autonomous finance, announced continued momentum among private equity–backed companies, reinforcing its position as the platform of choice for PE sponsors and portfolio CFOs seeking immediate productivity gains, improved cash flow visibility, and scalable finance operations.
Across industries ranging from manufacturing and logistics to construction, hospitality, and business services, PE-backed organizations are turning to Vic.ai to modernize AP without adding headcount.
Built for the Realities of PE Portfolios
Private equity-backed companies face a familiar set of pressures: aggressive growth targets, lean finance teams, fragmented systems, increasing compliance expectations, and growing complexity from acquisitions and multi-entity operations. Vic.ai was purpose-built for this environment.
As portfolio companies seek faster transformation timelines and repeatable operating models, many legacy SaaS and on-premise solutions have proven too rigid to keep up with modern AP complexity.
Unlike traditional AP automation tools that rely on brittle rules, templates, and manual exception handling, Vic.ai delivers a fundamentally different approach: domain-specific AI trained on more than one billion invoices designed to operate autonomously while handling real-world complexity. This includes multi-ERP environments, high invoice volumes, complex PO matching, multi-location approvals, and distributed vendor ecosystems.
The result: faster closes, tighter cash flow control, and meaningful cost reduction without requiring a rip-and-replace of existing ERP systems.
Proven Results Across PE-Backed Companies
Vic.ai’s growing footprint includes portfolio companies backed by many of the world’s leading private equity firms. Across this customer base, Vic.ai consistently delivers:
- Up to 5x processing capacity per FTE
- 70%+ reduction in manual AP effort
- 85%+ no-touch invoice rates at enterprise scale
- Accelerated month-end close cycles by 1–2 days
- Improved working capital through better payment timing and discount capture
For private equity sponsors, these gains translate directly into EBITDA improvement, margin expansion, stronger cash forecasting, and faster execution against value creation plans — often beginning in the first 100 days.
From Back-Office Cost Center to Value Creation Engine
Historically viewed as a cost center, AP is increasingly becoming a strategic advantage for private equity-backed CFOs using Vic.ai. With real-time visibility into liabilities, approval status, and vendor spend, finance leaders gain tighter control over working capital while reducing operational risk and fraud exposure.
“AP is no longer just about paying bills on time,” said Alexander Hagerup, CEO and Co-Founder of Vic.ai. “For private equity–backed companies, it’s about speed, control, and confidence in the numbers, especially during periods of rapid change. Vic.ai gives CFOs and Controllers the leverage they need to move faster without adding complexity or headcount.”

Momentum Across the PE Ecosystem
Vic.ai’s growth within the PE ecosystem is reinforced by strong alignment with leading advisory and operating partners, including firms like Accordion, who work closely with portfolio finance teams to accelerate transformation initiatives.
“Across the portfolio companies we support, finance teams are under increasing pressure to scale efficiently while improving accuracy and control,” said Zee Akbarali, Managing Director at Accordion. “Platforms like Vic.ai enable that shift by automating high-volume accounting workflows in a way that is both practical and measurable, allowing organizations to reduce manual effort, increase throughput, and build a more scalable finance function.”
Together, Vic.ai and its ecosystem partners support PE sponsors and portfolio leaders with a modern, AI-first approach to finance operations — helping standardize processes, accelerate integrations, and unlock measurable ROI across portfolio companies.
