About the Event

CFOs have spent years racing to automate everything they can point to on a board slide. That race is entering a new phase. The interesting question now isn’t whether finance teams have adopted AI, or even where, it’s whether they can tell the difference between automation that’s still paying off, automation that’s flatlined, and automation that’s quietly started creating more work than it saves. Add in the fact that AI is no longer contained to finance’s own tools, and CFOs are now managing a portfolio of automation bets across the whole enterprise, not just their own stack.

Join CFO Brew and RightRev for a conversation on how finance leaders are sorting real automation investments into what’s compounding, what’s plateaued, and what backfired. We’ll turn those insights into a playbook other finance leaders can use by digging into where the payoff has quietly stopped, where AI adoption outside of finance has reshaped the day-to-day for finance teams, and where there’s still real room to run.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How to sort your automation portfolio. A practical way to audit existing automation bets, separating what’s still compounding from what’s plateaued, and spotting the ones that have started creating more work than they save.
• Where the dispersion effect comes into play. How AI adoption outside of core finance systems is already changing finance’s workload, and what to watch for as it keeps spreading.
• Where to point your next dollar. A framework for finding which parts of the stack still have real ROI headroom, with revenue recognition as a live example of automation that’s nowhere near its ceiling.
