PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
When Northspyre outgrew Excel, Head of Finance, Jacob Walls, tried building his own AI solution. He quickly discovered that even powerful AI agents can create more work than value without the right structure, governance and financial context.
CFOs don’t want wild, ungoverned AI, and AI alone won’t keep a finance team small. Northspyre took a different approach, embedding governed AI into its finance operations to improve forecasting, flag risks earlier and scale without adding headcount. Today, the team can adjust forecasts itself, project business development capacity in a volatile market and spend less time verifying changes.
Join Jacob Walls, Head of Finance, Northsprye and; John Colthart, Chief Product Officer, Una Software for a candid look at what worked, what didn’t and how Northspyre is building a leaner, more proactive finance function with AI.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
– Put AI to Work: Apply governed, agentic AI to forecasting and variance analysis.
– Spot Risk Earlier: Use AI-powered anomaly detection to surface budget risks and operational irregularities before they hit the P&L.
– Scale Smarter: Build an AI-first finance stack that reduces spreadsheet dependency and helps finance grow without adding headcount.
