ROAD TO SUMMIT: What Financial Leaders Need to Know Before Letting AI Touch their Books
16 September 2026, 5:00PM CET l 11:00AM ET (ONLINE)
About the event
AI promises to automate the most manual parts of finance. Invoicing, revenue recognition, billing, collections. But for the finance leaders responsible for getting those numbers right, handing that work to an AI system is not a light decision.
In this session, Apurv Bansal, co-founder and CEO of Zenskar, sits down with Rob Brenan, Head of Finance at iink Payments, for a candid conversation about what that decision looks like from the inside.
Rob will walk through how iink went from a pricing model that required an engineering ticket for every change, to a fully tiered subscription structure that launched without touching the engineering roadmap, and the 15% revenue lift that followed. More importantly, he will share what it took to actually trust the system, how he evaluated AI-native tools against his team's real requirements, and what he would do differently if he were starting today.
YOU WILL LEAVE WITH:
A framework for evaluating AI tools against finance team requirements, not just vendor promises.
A clear picture of what data hygiene and internal readiness actually need to look like before go-live.
Honest perspective on where AI delivers in core financial workflows, and where the human still needs to stay in the loop.
