# Causa Prima

> Causa Prima is the agent-to-agent network for finance teams — AI agents that handle invoicing, disputes and discounts on both sides of every B2B transaction, so companies end the chase and money moves on the right terms. Under the hood it is the agentic execution layer for the office of the CFO, automating accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash management and negotiating directly with the agents on the other side. Free software; the team previously built Taulia and Finoa.
