In the past, finance teams didn’t always benefit from innovation in software like sales and marketing teams did. Now, a group of fintechs are bringing new technologies to market for CFOs and their teams – leveraging the disruptive power of AI.

As we see more and more tools solve for the less glamorous work that finance teams do, e.g. reconciling staff expenses, does this signal a trend towards an automated financial future?

Erica Dorfman, Head of Financial Products for spend management platform Brex, joins us to discuss the strategy behind her company’s push to deploy AI & the latest tech to streamline company spend and expense management, “transforming finance teams from reactive no-sayers to proactive growth drivers.”
