The Cost of Waiting For AI : What Finance Teams End Up Losing in 2026
AI in finance is no longer a 'nice-to-have', it is already the new operational standard for AP and AR. The real question isn't whether AI will reshape your department, but how much your team is already losing by staying anchored to manual, spreadsheet-driven processes while the industry moves forward.
Lost time. Slower cash flow. Rising processing costs. Increasing compliance risk. Month after month, these pressures compound and create structural inefficiencies that become harder to reverse.
Join Danilo McGarry and Dominic Febers on 19 March, Thursday at 10 GMT to explore the operational reality of AI driven automation and the measurable impact it is already delivering across AP and AR workflows, including what finance teams gain in practice when manual work is removed.
- Capture invoices with 99% accuracy and reduce manual data entry by up to 83%
- Cut AP processing costs by 60 to 80% and go live in 4 to 8 hours with audit ready visibility
- Reduce DSO by up to 34% and reach up to 94% forecasting accuracy
- Drive up to 403% ROI over three years while cutting manual AR
The discussion will also address the most common concern around AI. It replaces repetitive tasks, not finance professionals. Roles evolve. Burnout reduces. Accuracy improves. Teams move from firefighting to forward looking work.
