Future of Finance with AI

Future of Finance with AI

Member workshop

AI is already changing finance work, from payroll through to board reporting. But what is it genuinely delivering? How is it affecting growth and performance? And how are finance teams measuring the impact?

Join us for an exclusive KiwiSaaS x Kiwi Finance Leaders in Tech half-day with CFOs and senior finance leaders from across New Zealand’s tech community. This is a chance to see what peers are actually doing, ask the useful questions, and compare notes with people navigating the same shifts.

Facilitated by Georgia Burns (Auror) and David Clearwater (KiwiSaaS), this session brings together people already deep into AI adoption with those looking for a practical place to begin and everyone in between. We’ve got presentations from Matt Dold (Oxygen), Olivia Dyet (Empathix) and Jono Baker (Halter). Plus, bring your questions for an honest, practical conversation with Ana Wight (Partly), Guillem Bonavia (Shuttlerock) and Nick Steevens (DataTorque).

What we’ll cover:

• Practical presentations from SaaS leaders applying AI in their finance teams: their journey, wins and challenges

• Quickfire demos of emerging finance technology worth knowing about

• An AMA panel with finance leaders from SaaS companies of different sizes

• A clear sense-check of where your team sits, plus useful ideas to take back

• Light lunch and time to meet the presenters and make a few more valuable connections

Who’s this for?

CFOs, Finance Directors, Financial Controllers and other senior finance leaders at New Zealand tech companies. Attendance is limited to 50 finance leaders to keep the conversation useful, candid and peer-led.
