About Session
Drawing on real-world experience leading ERP implementations, finance transformations, and close optimization projects across both public and private growth-stage companies, this session will explore how controllers can build a practical technology adoption playbook for their organizations. We’ll discuss the operational warning signs that indicate a finance function is beginning to outgrow its current processes, the common mistakes teams make when implementing new tools too early, and how accounting “tech debt” quietly compounds underneath fast-growing businesses.
Attendees will acquire insights into:
- A framework for evaluating finance team readiness for new technology
- Practical indicators that it may be time to upgrade systems or redesign workflows
- A clearer understanding of how to scale the controller function without overbuilding too early or not fast enough
- Real-world examples of where technology investments succeeded — and where they failed
