The CFO Connect Summit recordings are live, and they're packed with insights you won't want to miss 👀 11 sessions. 10+ hours. All focused on one big question: How are CFOs actually using AI to drive real impact in finance? Our own CFO Pauline Bellée Babel led the session "Integrating AI Tools Across Financial Workflows" alongside Yubo She, Head of Technical Accounting at OpenAI and Ido Peled, CPA, Finance Data & Technology Lead at Adyen. They shared insights from their AI journeys and practical strategies for moving from optimism to measurable results. 🥇 Plus, we're honoured: during the Top CFO Tools Awards session, for the third consecutive year, Spendesk remains the spend management tool of choice for SMB and mid-market companies. Thank you to the CFO Connect community for this recognition! Why watch the replays? Because this isn't theoretical. These are CFOs sharing their actual experiences: the AI tools they're using, the processes they've automated, and the ROI they're seeing. Plus catch the Demo Day sessions to see the latest innovations in action, including our Spendesk demo showing how we're helping finance teams integrate AI into their daily workflows. 🎬 Watch all the replays here: https://lnkd.in/du6YBTEh #CFOConnect #AI #FinanceLeaders #Spendesk #SpendManagement #TopCFOTools

🚀 Last year’s most popular session at Spendesk Connect is back for 2025, and this year it’s even bigger with one surprise 👀 The Product Roadmap Session was packed last year for obvious reasons: finance leaders want to know what's coming next, not just what exists today. Look how far we've come since last year's roadmap: new interface, multi-entity dashboard, AI-powered close features, dynamic workflows, plus major launches like Spendesk Procurement and Spendesk Financial Services that we showcased in dedicated sessions. This year's session: Rodolphe A. (our Founder & President) returns to walk through where we're headed next, what we're building, why it matters, and how it will help finance teams move even faster with stronger governance. 🎉 But here's the big moment: Becky Dutta (VP Customer) will unveil our biggest product reveal of the year, giving you the first look at what we’ve been working on for 2026. Last year, this session filled up fast. This year, we hope to see even more finance leaders tuning in. 🛫 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eebujYqH 📅 November 4th, 3:00 PM CET - 2:00 PM GMT: don't miss our biggest reveal of the year 👀 #SpendeskConnect2025 #ProductRoadmap #FinanceInnovation #ExclusivePreview

📊 85% of CFOs are optimistic about AI's potential. Yet 61% still haven't implemented it into their workflows. Why the gap? Unclear ROI, limited team skills, and implementation complexity. Meanwhile, early adopters are pulling ahead: faster close times, automated AP, accelerated reporting, and improved forecast quality. Our new practical guide gives you an 8-step roadmap to move from optimism to action, complete with real examples, a 90-day timeline, and pitfalls to avoid. 💡 Spoiler: Start small, validate rigorously, scale with governance. 👉 Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/etdMGtp3 #AI #Finance #FinTech #CFO #Automation
