Beyond AI Pilots: Embedding AI in Core Finance Operations
About this Event
AAB, neoflo and Selona AI are delighted to invite you to an exclusive breakfast seminar exploring the next stage of AI adoption within the finance function: moving beyond individual productivity tools and pilots to embedding AI into core finance operations.
Most finance teams are already using AI somewhere. It can draft commentary, analyse data, build models and summarise variances. But in most organisations, AI still sits firmly in the assistive layer. It helps people work faster, but rarely takes an active role in transactional processes and decisions across areas such as AP, AR and month-end close.
That is where a significant opportunity remains.
Recent discussions with CFOs across UK and European finance functions have highlighted a consistent challenge: moving from AI experimentation to embedded, AI-enabled processes is not simply a question of technology or accuracy. It raises important questions around accountability, controls, governance and integration with existing systems.
How confident does AI need to be before it can act? Where should the human decision point sit? How should exceptions be escalated? What audit trail is required? And how can finance teams introduce new capabilities without unwinding significant investment in ERP and existing automation?
Join AAB, neoflo and Selona AI for a practical and interactive discussion on what it takes to make that transition successfully.
What we'll cover
Where AI has landed — and where it hasn't
A practical look at AI adoption across the finance function, from widespread use at the analyst and productivity layer to the opportunities that remain across AP, AR and month-end close.
Moving from assistance to action
What it takes to give AI a greater role in finance processes while maintaining accountability — including confidence thresholds, exception handling, escalation and determining where human judgement remains essential.
Working with your existing technology
Embedding AI does not mean replacing your ERP or unwinding existing automation. We will explore how new AI capabilities can work alongside existing infrastructure and where sequencing matters.
Governance, risk and audit
The control questions finance leaders need to address early, including audit trails, explainability, segregation of duties, model change management and the questions auditors are likely to ask.
Building a practical AI roadmap
How to identify the two or three processes worth prioritising, define what success could look like in the first 90 days, and build a credible business case for wider adoption.
Why attend?
You will leave with a clearer understanding of where AI is delivering genuine value within finance operations today, practical use cases across AP, AR and close, and the governance and control considerations that need to be addressed before scaling.
The session will also provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives with fellow CFOs and Finance Directors working through many of the same decisions.
Who should attend?
CFOs, Finance Directors, Financial Controllers and Heads of Shared Services looking to move beyond AI experimentation and explore how AI can be embedded safely and practically into their finance operations.
