CFO 3.0 – Digital transformation beyond financial management
CFOs are playing a key role in digital transformation. Learn how you can move from a 'historian' to a 'visionary' within your business.
Learn how to integrate AI into financial workflows
The importance of AI for SaaS CFOs can’t be overstated. CFOs of subscription companies are responsible for managing massive amounts of financial and customer data.
Your SaaS organization relies on you to mine mountains of data for actionable insights that lead to recurring revenue.
Forward-thinking CFOs are realizing that AI is much better suited to that task than humans are. At this year’s summit, we’ll discuss how you can:
- Maximize your financial performance with automated billing
- Peer into your financial future with generative AI SaaS forecasting
- Permanently end revenue leakage with automated, ASC 606-compliant revenue recognition.
Companies that don’t utilize AI are quickly falling behind those that do.
As a SaaS CFO, it’s crucial to leverage automation to stay ahead.
Embrace the value of community
In today’s hyper-competitive SaaS landscape, CFOs need to tap into the power of community to avoid burnout and keep thriving.
At the Modern SaaS Finance Forum, there will be sessions centered on the importance of building and fostering finance peer groups for CFOs and other professionals.
After all, no one knows the daily challenges and joys of your job like other SaaS CFOs.
This year’s summit is an incredible opportunity to connect with and learn from your industry peers.

Even if you’re doing everything else right as a CFO, these “silent killers” can grind your company’s financial progress to a halt.
Automation procrastination
When it comes to automation, there are four magic words for SaaS CFOs to remember: It’s never too early.
Accounting AI is a technological powerhouse, and the difference between automated and legacy workflows is truly night and day.
However, it’s not a magic bullet. You’ll need to:
- Get buy-in from other stakeholders at your organization
- Train your accounting suite on your financial data
- Train your employees on your new accounting software
- Compare your expectations to your results and recalibrate as needed
Join us for this year’s summit to learn how and why you should “frontload the urgency” for transitioning to cloud accounting.
Relying on a manual quote-to-cash cycle
Your company’s quote-to-cash cycle is one of the most pivotal processes you can automate. If you’re relying on manual quote-to-cash workflows, you’re holding your organization back in a big way.
On June 5, we’ll be discussing:
- Why quote-to-cash should be your top priority for automation
- How your finance team and sales team can work together seamlessly
- Concrete steps to gain confidence with quote-to-cash automation
Are legacy workflows interfering with your cash flow? There’s a better way forward.
