AI, Context & Rev Rec
In January, I wrote on Gaapsavvy's substack about how technical accountants are natural context engineers - and how the skill you've built writing memos is exactly what makes AI useful. That piece hit a nerve.
\The conversations that followed made one thing clear: knowing you have the skill is only the start. The harder question is where to point it.
Where does AI earn its keep in an accountant's workflow? Where does it quietly fail? And why does revenue recognition expose the limits of general-purpose AI faster than almost any other area of finance?
We're bringing in Jagan Reddy, CEO of RightRev and one of the "Godfathers of Revenue Recognition," to work through exactly that. Jagan built one of the first automated rev rec solutions nearly two decades ago, and has spent his career thinking about accountants: how they work, what they need from systems, where the real risks live.
He'll share how he's been thinking through where AI belongs in this work, what the guardrails should look like, and where to be especially careful, including the parts that surprised him. He'll also walk through how these ideas shaped the platform RightRev built.
