The Adaptive ERP & the Future of Financial Productivity

​We wanted to bring together a great group of fintech investors, operators and innovators in NYC for a casual evening of drinks and conversation. As many of you know, Motive Ventures focuses exclusively on early stage fintech across Europe and North America. This event is co-hosted by our good friends at Sage, a market leader for integrated accounting, payroll, and payment systems.

The focus of this evening's conversation will be on the emergence of adaptive ERP systems and the future of financial productivity.

​Enterprise Resource Planning ('ERP') is shedding its reputation as a rigid back‑office monolith. We believe the next generation of systems will be adaptive, composable and AI‑powered. Sage’s CTO Aaron Harris, one of our speakers for this evening, has mapped three waves of capability - from task automation to agentic systems that act as digital colleagues. Join us for a discussion on how autonomous agents, real‑time data and audit‑ready AI will slash close cycles, boost forecast accuracy and free finance teams for strategic work, moving the accounting dream of a “zero‑day close” closer to reality.
