AI in the Finance Function: What’s Actually Working

A small breakfast roundtable for finance leaders on what AI is actually improving in the finance function, what is not delivering, and what is worth doing next.There is a lot of pressure to have an answer on AI right now, but the market is noisy, the tools are mixed, and the honest conversation is rarely happening in public.This is a curated, off-the-record discussion for 8 to 10 finance leaders at fast-growing small and mid-sized companies. We will explore where AI is saving real time, where adoption is getting stuck, what is still overhyped, and where finance teams should focus next.Expect a practical peer conversation over breakfast - not a panel, not a pitch, and not the LinkedIn version of AI.Running order8:30am - 9:00am Arrivals, coffee and breakfast served9:00am - 9:15am Welcome, introductions and framing9:15am - 10:30am Roundtable discussion: what is actually working with AI in finance?10:30am - 11:00am Informal conversation over coffeeYour hostsJuvern See trained at KPMG and has spent a decade inside finance and operations at high-growth companies, including scaling the finance function at Dext and building a multi-entity accounting platform at Translucent.
