CFO Tech Automation Challenge

The Automation Reality Check

Monday, October 12 | 2:00 – 4:30 PM MT

AI spending is up. Automation isn’t keeping pace. Fragmented tools, stalled rollouts, and unclear ROI leave most CFOs paying for capability they never fully deploy. The technical barriers have fallen — connectors are cheap, deployments are fast. What hasn’t gotten easier is the work only you can do: defining the process, designing the end state, and deciding what belongs in the stack.

Finance leaders know what to do. The question is how to do it better. Yet most CFOs have no reliable read on what their peers have actually automated — what it cost, what it broke, what got abandoned. A structured roundtable puts you in direct conversation with finance leaders facing the same decisions.

Built for CFOs who want to lead technology decisions, not passively fund them. You’ll leave able to:

  • Eliminate manual friction in core workflows without adding headcount
  • Bridge integration gaps between legacy systems, point tools, and the GL
  • Separate hype from measurable ROI before signing a contract
  • Make high-stakes decisions calibrated to modern architecture, not past assumptions
