Most finance leaders know AI is something they should be exploring.
The challenge is knowing where to start.
That’s why we’re launching a free AI in Finance webinar – Build a Better Cashflow Forecast in 15 Minutes Using AI – taking place on Wednesday 16th September from 12.30pm – 1.30pm.
In this practical live webinar, Headstar’s AI and Automation Specialist, Matt Swift, will demonstrate how AI can be used to build a better cashflow forecast in just 15 minutes using AI.
With so many tools, platforms and opinions available, it can be difficult to separate genuine opportunities from expensive distractions. That’s particularly true in finance, where accuracy, security and trust matter.
Designed specifically for CFOs, Finance Directors, Heads of Finance and Financial Controllers, the session will focus on the practical applications of AI and automation rather than theory, showing where it can genuinely save time within a finance function.
A practical session, not a software sales pitch
Unlike many organisations talking about AI, Headstar is not a technology company.
We’re a specialist finance recruitment consultancy founded by Finance Directors, with finance leaders still at the heart of our business today.
That means our approach to AI starts with identifying which finance processes could genuinely be improved, rather than trying to shoehorn an expensive software product into the business. Over the last year, Headstar’s AI and Automation Specialist, Matt Swift, has worked alongside our internal finance leadership team to introduce a range of AI and automation solutions across the business.
Rather than investing in large-scale transformation projects, the focus has been on making targeted improvements using the right combination of AI tools, automation and process changes.
Collectively, those improvements are now saving more than 120 hours every month across the business.
What’s perhaps most surprising is that those results weren’t driven by expensive AI platforms or major transformation programmes. Instead, they came from applying our finance expertise to identify practical opportunities to improve existing processes and making smarter use of accessible AI and automation tools.
Now we’re sharing some of those lessons with the wider finance community.
