Agentic AI is moving from pilots into live finance workflows faster than most teams can set the rules for it. The finance functions pulling ahead are not waiting for a settled playbook. They are testing early, deciding where an agent can act and where a person still must, and changing how the team works while the technology is still shifting. Drawing on Microsoft’s own finance experience, this keynote shows what operating at the frontier looks like in practice: where agentic AI is already changing planning, analysis and reporting, what has had to change in roles and ways of working to make it stick, and how to keep moving as capabilities change quarter to quarter. Key takeaways - A view of where agentic AI is already changing finance work, and which use cases are ready to act on now. - The team, skills and governance shifts that separate early movers from teams still stuck in pilot mode. - A practical way to keep pace as capabilities change, without rebuilding your approach every few months.
