Are routine, manual tasks like exporting CSVs, updating actuals, and constant data entry burning out your best finance people? Host Joy Mendoza-Gallardo and guest Ali Rizvi, Founder of TrueRev, tackle the competitive disadvantage of relying on chaotic spreadsheets for critical, repeatable reporting, especially during high-stakes cycles like board meetings.

They lay out the vision for the AI-augmented finance team, where AI handles the grunt work—like finding the five largest budget variances or flagging complex contract clauses—in minutes. This frees the human expert to move from low-value data fixing to high-touch strategic analysis, focusing on identifying risks and opportunities, and making better high-stakes decisions. Discover why the urgency to adopt this technology is now.
