AI & the Numbers: A Finance Leaders Roundtable | Thinkspace & Autessa
For a CFO, AI's promise runs deeper than a faster close, sharper forecasts, and tighter control over cash. It's command of the whole business at once: every transaction traced to its source, margin and risk modeled in real time, projections that move as the business moves, exposure surfaced before it becomes a problem.
That vision is within reach in ways it wasn't two years ago. Part of it runs in production today. Part of it is still a demo that struggles the moment it meets real data, real controls, and real deadlines.
On Tuesday, July 28, during Seattle Tech Week, Autessa is hosting a closed roundtable for a small group of CFOs and controllers. The format is a working conversation among peers, not a panel or a presentation: how finance teams are applying AI to real, often messy data, under genuine compliance and deadline pressure, to produce numbers reliable enough for the board.
A few of the questions on the table
01 From your perspective as a finance leader, where could AI take your business, and how far is that from possible today?
02. If AI helps produce your numbers, how much would you trust them?
03. What's the one question about AI you'd want answered honestly before spending more money on it?
Autessa hosts and guides the conversation. The format is deliberate: a closed table, peers, and a discussion built to stay honest about what AI is actually delivering and what it isn't.
Autessa builds AI infrastructure for industries that answer to auditors and regulators, governed to the standards finance leaders live by: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001. AI you can put near the numbers.
The event is hosted at Thinkspace Seattle. Ample parking. Beautiful views. Delicious food and drink will be provided.
