Every business owner has heard that AI is coming for finance, fewer have stopped to ask whether their own numbers are actually ready for it. Accountant, strategist and financial literacy advocate Alexis Charkiw cuts through the hype to show business owners what it really takes to bring AI into their financial operations.
 
She unpacks the common pain points holding businesses back (fragmented systems, siloed data, outdated spreadsheets, and processes never built with AI in mind) and explains why you need to be AI-ready before you can be AI-led.
 
The centrepiece of the session is Alexis's CLEAR framework, a practical model for preparing your business for an AI-empowered future.
 
You'll leave with five practical questions to test how AI-ready your business really is, and a clear-eyed, realistic view of where the industry genuinely stands today and why the businesses who start preparing now will be the ones who benefit first.
