Control Layer for Your Financial Data

Obsidia

Obsidia is a Boston based financial technology company focused on helping fast-growing businesses with fragmented financial data across multiple systems prevent revenue leakage and overpayments caused by vendor fraud, billing and pricing errors, duplicate or unsupported charges, cross-system inconsistencies, and records that don't match the underlying source evidence.

We believe these issues should be prevented from happening in the first place, not detected after the financial impact has already occurred.

An error caught late costs 10 to 100× more, in cash and time.

Upfront checks catch the obvious.

The 1-10-100 rule: verifying a record at the point of entry costs $1; after it enters the system, $10; once it reaches reports and decisions, $100. Labovitz & Chang.

Why Obsidia exists
  • Every financial number should be trusted, traceable, and defensible, with supporting evidence available in minutes, not days.
  • The same team can handle twice the business.
  • A trusted foundation for financial data allows every downstream workflow, report, decision, and AI application to operate with assurance.
  • Teams put their time and cash toward the work that creates real value.

How Obsidia works

You can think of Obsidia as a firewall for financial data. It standardizes and validates financial records against your business rules and policies, internal controls, contracts, source evidence, and reporting requirements, while cross-checking data across systems for consistency. Exceptions are flagged and routed to the appropriate owner for review, while new rules can be added as your business evolves. Errors are stopped and fixed at the source.

WHY OBSIDIA IS DIFFERENT

Deterministic, not a black box

Same rules and evidence produce the same result every time. No unexplained AI decisions.

Built to protect cash

We measure value in cash retained and revenue recovered, not alerts, dashboards, or more data to review.

Verify financial truth, not just anomalies

Obsidia doesn't just ask whether a transaction looks unusual. It verifies whether it should exist, whether the amount is correct, and whether the rules and evidence support it.

BACKED BY THE NUMBERS
¹ The cost of bad data is an astonishing 15% to 25% of revenue for most companies.MIT Sloan Management Review · Gartner

Inconsistency of data across sources is named the single most challenging data-quality problem: the same transaction carrying different numbers in different systems. 59% of organizations do not measure data quality at all, meaning the cost is real but invisible.

² Duplicate and erroneous payments run 0.8% of annual disbursements at top performers and 2% at bottom performers.APQC · AFP · FBI Internet Crime Report

On $500M of annual supplier spend, 0.8% is $4M of annual leakage; bottom-quartile performance on the same spend base puts leakage above $10M per year. 76% of organizations experienced attempted or actual payments fraud in 2025, with business email compromise cited by 70% of respondents as the top avenue. The 2025 FBI Internet Crime Report ranks BEC second in total US financial losses, accounting for roughly $30 billion annually.

³ Companies typically lose 1–5% of realized EBITA every year to revenue leakage caused by misconfigurations, data gaps, and manual process failures.EY, Revenue Assurance research · Boston Consulting Group

Revenue assurance can contribute as much as 10% to a company's total revenue without the need to sell additional products or services, typically generating financial returns within the first one to three months. Companies that take these steps can add as much as 5% to the bottom line.

Avoidable rework caused by human error can take up to 30% of an employee's overall time.Gartner · Ardent Partners

For an organization with 40 full-time staff, that equates to ~25,000 hours and ~$878,000 per year of avoidable rework. Best-in-class organizations run a 9% exception rate vs. 22% for All Others, a 59% reduction in records requiring intervention and rework.

Even in top-quartile companies, analysts spend ~40% of their time gathering data, not analyzing it.PwC, Finance Effectiveness Benchmarking · Harvard Business Review

30–40% of the processing time for several key finance processes could be eliminated with automation and behavior change. Knowledge workers waste 50% of their time in hidden data factories, hunting for data, finding and correcting errors.
