The no-new-headcount finance AI playbook: How to grow what finance delivers when the hiring plan and the equity pool won't stretch.
For most CFOs, headcount is the biggest capital decision they make, and in 2027 the default answer to "can we add people?" is no. AI is how finance teams keep delivering more without it, but that shift rarely happens in one big leap. It happens through steady, deliberate changes. In this keynote Aswin will share a practical playbook built around four levers: - Tooling: where to put AI dollars first so they take real work off the team's plate - Process: how each function's processes need to be rebuilt with AI at the center - People: how roles and skills change, and how to bring the team along - Culture: building the habits and trust that make adoption accelerate Attendees will leave with concrete steps they can start on right away, whatever their company's stage or sector.
