Finance AI investment is accelerating. But are finance leaders asking the right questions? 84% of finance teams are already in planning or deployment with AI. Nearly 60% of CFOs plan to increase AI investment by 10% or more this year. And yet — most vendors still can't explain what's actually behind their AI claims. I’m looking forward to speaking at the Gartner Finance Symposium/Xpo in London on: 🎤 Beyond the Hype: How to Evaluate Finance AI That Actually Delivers 📅 9 June 2026 ⏰ 12:45 PM BST 📍 Peninsula Ballroom A In today’s environment, the conversation has shifted from simply asking “Do you have AI?” to demanding measurable outcomes, transparency, and business value. During the session, I’ll share a practical framework for evaluating Finance-Ready AI across the areas that truly matter — including real-world examples of how intelligent EPM solutions are delivering tangible impact today. Looking forward to connecting with finance and transformation leaders in London. #GartnerFIN #FinanceAI #EPM #JustPerform #insightsoftware #ArtificialIntelligence #FinanceTransformation

300 executives. One task. Predict Nvidia's stock price a month out. Half used Gen AI. Half just talked to peers. The AI group was more confident. And less accurate. That HBR finding has stayed with me — because in finance, the gap between confidence and accuracy isn't academic. A wrong number in a board pack doesn't stay inside the building. The AI conversation in finance has matured. Twelve months ago, the question was "do you have AI?" Today, every vendor does. The harder question is: prove it delivers. Three principles I keep coming back to when finance leaders ask how to evaluate it: 1. Automation runs the workflow you defined. Genuine AI reasons through the one you didn't — the late adjustment, the unmatched transaction, the exception. Intelligence in finance is measured by how a system handles exceptions, not routine tasks. 2. Finance-ready AI is a balance, not a feature. Three dimensions: Human-First (a finance analyst can run it without IT), Genuinely Intelligent (it knows when it doesn't know), Trustworthy (every output traceable to source). Miss any one and it breaks. 3. "The model said so" is not an audit defense. If you can't trace an AI-generated number back to source data, logic, and assumptions, it doesn't belong in a board pack or regulatory filing. I had the chance to share this framework at the Gartner CFO & Finance Executive Conference in Sydney last month. Honestly, the conversations afterward shaped my thinking more than the session itself. For anyone evaluating AI for their finance function, the one question I'd put to every vendor — including mine: "Show me how it handles the exception, not the happy path." That's where the real answer lives. #FinanceAI #CFO #FPandA #FinancialClose #insightsoftware
