    Kevin is such a great host and is skilled at drawing out pertinent information. Thank you for having me on the show. I had a truly amazing time discussing the NFP sector’s uniqueness. Thank you for creating a space to help amplify its voice. To every finance leader in the NFP sector, remember you are more than a numbers person, you are a mission enabler. Keep showing up with clarity and driving trust through transparency. Thank you again Kevin!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#307 What Should CFOs Fix Before Using AI in Forecasting? Carolina Lago Managing Director, Tactic Financial
Q: Could we get a forecast seriously wrong because AI is hallucinating?

#307 What Should CFOs Fix Before Using AI in Forecasting? Carolina Lago Managing Director, Tactic Financial
Q: Which tools should we be using here?
Lago says the process matters more than choosing a tool. Teams should map data flows, organize responsibilities, and establish reliable processes before adding automation or AI.
#306 Feel Behind on AI? Where CFOs Should Start Gavin McGahey CTO & Co-Founder at AccountsIQ
Q: Any particular processes that you think might be better than others if we're taking this start small idea?
McGahey recommends accounts payable automation, which can extract invoice details and improve coding, as well as anomaly detection to flag unusual transactions. He also describes AI agents that can assist with connected tasks while people retain approval and posting control.

#305 What CFOs Need to Know Before Scaling AI Bruce Mullan Managing Partner, AI Governance Partners
Q: Bruce, what does AI governance as a value and performance system mean for finance?
Bruce describes a layered journey in finance from administrative AI tasks to AI-assisted processes and eventually AI-substituted decisions, emphasizing governance that enables value, controls, and safety.
