This Week, Tipalti will be premiering its very first annual Illuminate Conference. For two days, growth-minded finance leaders will learn how to streamline their finance operations, empower their teams, and optimize their organizations for a global scale. 

These financial leaders know that analysis is the catalyst for decision-making and is critical for your business’s success. Illuminate will give you the firepower to scale at the executive level and enhance your finance persona.

As you navigate through the inaugural event, take note of our holistic approach to finance that will help you gain new levels of efficiency and success. 

Here’s what you’ll experience:
