CONTROLLER TECH EXCHANGE: AI & Automation Adoption: Real World Implementation Case Studies

November 19, 2026 @ 12:35 pm - 1:00 pm

  • Keynote

About Session

Even with revenue growth, controllers are resisting the corporate reflex to hire by betting on automation to support the finance team. This session provides a pair of practical roadmaps of how several teams leveraged technology and AI. One developed a working token-economics application that models the real cost of AI tokens, model tiers and AI-enabled workflows. The other built its own tool stack.

Attendees will come away with a real-world, blueprint on how to:

  • decide where to invest limited time and budget on technology,
  • view Finance as the one function that sees AI on the P&L and can point to the spend at demand-side AI that actually generates revenue,
  • lead a team through AI adoption,
  • demonstrate where agentic AI is headed, and
  • show that the biggest wins aren’t in the cost removed but, in the revenue, gained.
