Fireside chat | Leveraging AI for efficiency in high-growth organisations
In high-growth, pre-IPO environments, controllers must move fast, maintain accuracy, and balance innovation with compliance. In this fireside chat, Kristin Johannimloh shares firsthand experience navigating AI adoption as a solo controller in a performance-enhancement company preparing to go public. She explores the tensions between automation and human judgment, highlighting both successes and pitfalls.
Attendees will examine three core challenges:
- AI in lean teams: How to deploy AI effectively without a full finance team.
- Compliance meets innovation: Ensuring documentation, SEC standards, and professional judgment remain intact.
- Strategic evolution of controllership: Transitioning from manual reconciliation to shaping revenue structuring and decision-making.
