Hosted by the CFO Leadership Council

For decades, finance teams have focused on reporting what has already happened. But today’s CFOs are increasingly expected to help guide what happens next. Artificial intelligence (AI) enables a fundamental shift in how finance leaders use data, moving from retrospective reporting to real-time insight and forward-looking decision support. Instead of waiting for month-end reports or static dashboards, finance teams can now leverage AI to surface patterns, detect anomalies, improve forecasting accuracy, and deliver insights that help leadership act faster and more confidently. This webinar will explore how forward-thinking CFOs are beginning to rethink the finance playbook by using AI to turn financial data into actionable intelligence. We’ll discuss how AI enhances visibility into cash flow, improving the speed and quality of financial decisions, and helping finance teams move from information providers to strategic advisors. We will also share an action plan for evaluating and implementing AI-powered capabilities that support smarter decision-making.

What you’ll learn:

• How AI changes the way CFOs use financial data to support decision-making • The role of AI in improving financial agility and responsiveness across the organization

• A practical action plan for evaluating and implementing AI-powered capabilities in finance

• Key considerations for CFOs around governance, controls, and data readiness

• How CFOs can move beyond dashboards and reporting and toward financial intelligence

The CFO Leadership Council is honored to collaborate with Forwardly on this webinar.
