Does Nominal give you tracing and observability into agent runs?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Nominal publishes public evidence of tracing, observability and audit logging into agent runs, so a team can see what an agent did and why. Evidence basis: Nominal logs every agent action with timestamp, user, and logic history to produce a complete audit trail that satisfies SOC 1 and SOC 2, comprehensive agent action auditability, so full. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does Nominal have SOC 2, SSO and role based access control?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. Nominal publishes some public evidence of security and identity controls, but narrower than the full set of SOC 2, single sign on (SSO) and role based access control (RBAC). Evidence basis: Nominal processes data in a secure environment and is fully SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant, strong certification though the single sign on and access control matrix is not documented, so partial. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does Nominal require human approval before an agent acts?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. Nominal publishes some public evidence of guardrails or oversight, but narrower than a documented human approval step before an agent acts. Evidence basis: Nominal clears high confidence matches automatically and surfaces exceptions with a reasoning note for human decision before posting, bounded autonomy with human oversight at key points, so partial.

Agentic AI accounting with autonomous agents that match, reconcile, and post journal entries.

Nominal is an agentic AI platform built specifically for accounting and financial operations, positioned as an AI-native layer over the ERP. Its agents run the work rather than just assisting, covering reconciliation, transaction matching, journal-entry automation, intercompany consolidation, close management, and reporting and variance analysis.

The agents plug into existing ERP and finance tools with no ERP changes required, and each agent owns a specific accounting decision. Outputs are drafts that require explicit human approval: agents never post entries or finalize reconciliations silently, and every recommendation carries the business logic behind it and a complete audit trail.

Nominal is designed for controllers and CFOs at mid-market and enterprise companies. It raised a 20 million dollar Series A led by Next47, with participation from Workday Ventures and others, in 2025, bringing total funding to 30 million dollars.

Use cases & customers

In practice

Your team spends the first week of every month matching transactions by hand. Nominal's agents run reconciliation and transaction matching across your existing ERP, with no ERP changes required.

You won't let an AI post entries on its own, and you shouldn't have to. Nominal's agents produce drafts that need explicit human approval and never finalize a reconciliation silently.

An auditor asks why a journal entry looks the way it does. Each Nominal recommendation carries the business logic behind it and a complete audit trail, so the answer is already there.
