M&A Navi Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Yusuke Takita) has independently developed a technology based on years of research to convert PDF financial documents into structured data. This structuring engine serves as an innovative foundational technology that enables the use of generative AI in the highly accuracy-demanding field of finance.
In particular, the company's structuring engine autonomously converts large and complex financial documents—including balance sheets, income statements, hundreds-of-pages general ledgers, and high-density depreciation schedules—into highly accurate structured data through repeated self-validation. Benchmark testing using this engine achieved a precision rate of 99.2%. This high accuracy is based on rigorous measurement using over 200 verification rules.
This high accuracy is supported by an optimized OCR mechanism tailored to document characteristics, a rule-based verification system, and an orchestration mechanism that autonomously replans and retries until accuracy meets required standards by combining these components.
This technology serves as the core infrastructure of the financial AI agent 'M&A Navi SmartDD' and is expected to bring significant convenience and efficiency to financial analysis tasks for professionals supporting SMEs.
For financial analysis with AI, choose SmartDD—the verifiable solution.

Utilization of Structured Data
Structured data can be accessed via four interfaces:
1. SmartDD (https://ma-navigator.com/smartdd)
The 'Analysis Lab' feature of the financial AI agent SmartDD uses verified data as input to provide advanced financial analysis as standard functions, including detection of under-depreciation, customer aggregation, fraud risk detection, capital requirement forecasting for equipment investment, cash flow calculation, and cash flow statement creation.
2. Excel Add-in (alpha release)
Import structured financial data directly into Excel. Automates data entry without altering existing Excel-based analysis workflows.
3. RESTful API (alpha release)
Provides APIs for integration with internal CRM systems such as Salesforce and HubSpot. Enables programmatic execution from PDF input to structured data retrieval.
4. MCP (Model Context Protocol) (alpha release)
Offers an MCP server allowing AI agents like Claude to directly reference structured financial data. Enables seamless connection from data retrieval to analysis in AI-driven financial analysis and reporting workflows.
Future Outlook
The technology has demonstrated proven accuracy in financial document structuring. It can be applied to any business process involving financial documents.
Application Areas
Use Cases
Loan Underwriting, Credit Assessment, Financial Due Diligence
