What it is

Psst… there’s a part two.

This webinar was just the warm-up.
Loved the online session and want to actually build something of your own?
‍
We’ll be following up with a 90-minute, hands-on hackathon with Rachel followed by some time to network — a small, intimate group of AI-curious finance leaders in one room.

Finance teams almost never get to do this. This one focuses entirely on you as a finance leader, and you’ll leave with something real you can use immediately. Month end, daily to do lists, debtors summaries - anything you want to be solving with AI, bring it along on the day.

It’s also a rare opportunity to swap ideas with a like-minded group who are all figuring this out too. And best of all — you’ll be ahead, together.

What to bring

Come with real work

1
Your laptop
2
AI account you can log into (Claude preferred)
3
One real finance task you'd love to hand over — messy is fine.

Who it's for: CFOs and Heads of Finance.
