/ About this event

Most finance teams have tried AI by now. A pilot that demoed well and never made it into the close. A prompt library one person maintains and nobody else has seen. A tool that quietly didn't get renewed.

The gap is rarely the model. It's everything around it.

This is a hands-on session on what actually changes when a finance function becomes AI-native. We'll work live in Claude on real finance work: forecasting, variance commentary, reporting, decision support. Then we get into the part almost nobody covers, which is how to keep the output grounded in your real data, traceable back to a source, and governed well enough that it holds up when your auditor asks where a number came from.

Those techniques are the whole difference between an impressive demo and something you can actually put in the close. We'll show you ours.

Bring a laptop. You'll leave with methods you can run against your next close, not a roadmap.

Hosted by Pluvo. Sponsored by BMO, and Ramp.

RSVPs are reviewed. Built for CFOs, VPs of Finance, Controllers, and the finance operators who own the work.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
