From Manual to Strategic: How AI Is Transforming Finance and Accounting Operations

The challenge in finance and accounting operations is not a lack of automation opportunities. It is the lack of a framework for deciding which ones actually improve control. Teams are being asked to eliminate manual processes and absorb more volume without adding headcount—yet without a framework, they default to one-off automation that addresses isolated tasks while leaving process gaps and downstream rework in place.

Panelists Sameer Syed, CAO @Zip, and Ken Liu, Director Accounting Ops @Huntress will dive into a framework for evaluating agentic AI across F&A operations, accelerating existing workflows, eliminating manual bottlenecks, and enabling net-new capabilities around risk reduction, compliance, and strategic decision-making. Attendees will leave with a practical ways to evaluate and deploy AI.
