Artificial intelligence is transforming the way accounting firms operate — driving efficiency, enhancing client service, and enabling data-driven decision-making. But how do you move from interest to action ?

Eric shared his insights on how AI is being used across the finance function at Brex, how to identify low-risk starting points for implementation, and why experimentation is key. This session left you with practical guidance and a clearer understanding of how to explore AI in your firm —without needing to be a tech expert.
