ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We sit down with Brian Beaupre (CFO, Teikametrics) to discuss how the CFO role has changed, where AI is making a real difference in finance today, and what needs to be in place before you let it near your numbers. That includes a validation layer between AI and the underlying systems, so everyone knows where a number comes from, who owns it, and how it’s calculated.
The conversation also gets into judgment. AI can take over much of the grunt work that used to teach finance people how the business runs, which raises the question of how to build that understanding on purpose, from learning the product to seeing the business through other leaders’ eyes.
Drawing on 20-plus years as a SaaS operator, Brian also shares his advice for finance leaders and individual contributors on the path to the CFO seat.
Moderator: Katherine Zhang (CEO, OPEXEngine by Bain & Company)
