In our latest Future Finance podcast, Glenn Hopper and I dug into what 2025 taught us about AI adoption and gave some predictions for 2026 .
 
Highlights:
 
→ The individual vs. company gap - Finance professionals are getting dramatically more productive with AI. But at the enterprise level? Most companies still haven't figured out systematic deployment.
It's a disconnect companies need to address.
 
→ Automation is the next frontier - Glenn nailed it: "2025 was proof of concept, 2026 is don't wait on software vendors." Stop reinventing the wheel with every new chat. Start building workflows with tools like Zapier or n8n for your recurring tasks.
 
→ Your people are already using AI - Whether you have a policy or not. As Glenn put it "If someone on Reddit is doing their exact job in 1/10th of the time, they're not going to be the chumps doing things the old way."
 
→ Vibe coding is real - You don't need to be a developer anymore. I'm seeing finance folks build mini-apps to automate tasks that would've required IT involvement just a year ago.
 
The ChatGPT Outlook integration Glenn used to build a client turnover report in 30 minutes—something that would've taken days manually? That's the future.
 
As finance professionals we can't just wait for the perfect tool. Microsoft isn't going to solve everything. Neither is Claude or ChatGPT. We need to get our hands dirty and figure out what works for OUR workflows.

Congrats to Datarails as they just closed a $70 million Series C led by One Peak, bringing total funding to $175 million. 

Hats off to the entire team at Datarails.  I have had the privilege of working with several great people at Datarails and am thankful for the friends I have made during my time hosting the FP&A Today podcast. 

This announcement comes on the heels of several other announcements in the FP&A space and is exciting to see.  Datarails has leaned heavily into AI and keeping you in Excel, and I am excited to see them grow.

Look forward to seeing more Bob Sheetner (aka FPandA) appearances.

This week, I had the opportunity to catch up with Bryan Lapidus, FPAC. Bryan is the FP&A subject matter expert at AFP.
 
He is someone everyone in the FP&A field should be following, as he is able to provide valuable insights and cut through the noise and hype going on in the marketplace.
 
Conversation highlights:
 
On being a great FP&A professional:
 
"You have to be good at finance and the processes by which you deliver your financial services, and you have to be good as a partner to the business."
It's not either/or. You need both.
 
→ Master your tools, processes, and financial analysis
→ Understand how your business creates value and serves customers
→ Get out from behind your screen and experience what your numbers represent
 
On one of the things holding FP&A back:
 
"I talk to a lot of people who are stuck in process for the sake of process... You have these long detailed reports that nobody wants to get rid of because, well, if you get rid of it, then you're at risk."
 
I cannot help but wonder how many of us are producing reports that no one reads? Tracking metrics that don't drive decisions?
 
Bryan's advice: Audit everything. If it doesn't lead to meaningful discussion and outcomes, stop doing it.
 
On continuous learning:
 
"Your ability to learn technical skills needs to be constant in every role... And the ability to learn your next technical skill is directly based on your last one."
 
The skill isn't Excel or Power BI or Python. The skill is LEARNING.
 
On why community matters:
 
"Being part of a community brings that whole community's experiences to you. The ability to talk to 10 other people, I can learn what they've learned from their stories... it's an experience multiplier."
 
The connections are the best part of AFP conferences from my perspective.
 
Speaking of conferences, Bryan also shared insights on the AFP FP&A Forum (March 23-25 in Indianapolis) and why they organize content around three tracks: Finance & Processes, Technology & Data, and Personal & Team Effectiveness.

How FP&A Professionals Can Evolve Beyond Reporting and Become Strategic Partners with Bryan Lapidus

Understanding How Excel Agents work!!!
 
I've interviewed nearly every founder of Excel AI agent companies. I've asked them all, "What makes them different?" I got answers about their tools, their approaches, and their models. But I never really understood what was happening behind the scenes, and after interviewing Tim Jacks, I have a much better understanding.
 
This week, Tim joined us as we went under the hood to better understand how LLMs, chatbots, and particular Excel agents work
 
Key takeaways
 
The Technical Reality:
➔ LLMs don't memorize—they recognize patterns across massive datasets
 
➔ Every prompt you send includes your full conversation history (this is one reason why context windows matter)
 
➔ Agents are LLMs wrapped with tools that let them take action (manipulate Excel, search web, etc.)
 
What Actually Helps Your Work:
 
➔ Use rewind features strategically. Going back to edit a bad prompt is way more effective than continuing to ask "why didn't that work?" The LLM literally has no memory of your frustration
 
➔ Understand tool limitations. When an agent fails at a task, it might be because its tools (Office Scripts vs Excel object model) aren't suited for that specific operation
 
➔ Keep conversations focused. More context = worse performance eventually. Long threads consume processing power
 
➔ Tim's breakdown of how agents differentiate themselves through their tools, not just their models was helpful to understand. It will allow me to better understand how agents work and the differences between them.
 
As we all said, after this episode, learning this was interesting, but not needed to use the tools effectively.
 
Ian Schnoor, CFA, CFM said it best when he said : "I've been teaching Excel for 20 years. I don't know how VLOOKUP was coded. Has it impacted my ability? No."
 
This episode is definitely for the nerds who want to peek under the hood. Did it change how I'll prompt tomorrow? Probably not. But it gave me a mental model that helps everything make more sense.

Playing an instrument 

Anyone who has learned an instrument knows that if you focus on only playing the same note over and over again, it quickly becomes annoying and does not sound good, plus you will not be able to do much with only one note. 

In business, focusing on learning just one thing, even if it is AI vs taking a well-rounded approach to learning, is much like focusing on only one note. 

As you strive to improve your FP&A, remember to develop plans to focus on the most important skills.  A well-rounded approach, improving the skills that will help you differentiate yourself in the marketplace, is important. 

Below is a list of many of the key skills we need to be successful in FP&A,

Key Soft Skills 

➡️ Active Listening
➡️ Data Storytelling
➡️ Business Partnering
➡️ Empathy
➡️ Relationship Building
➡️ Communication

Key Technical Skills 

➡️ Financial Modeling
➡️ Excel
➡️ Understanding data/data management/data structure
➡️ Data visualization
➡️ Artificial intelligence
➡️ Ability to Simplify
➡️ Accounting

Let me know in the comments what one skill you are focused on learning other than Artificial Intelligence?

Your Finance Progression + Resilience Partner | Helping New Hires and Managers' Transitions in Finance Teams | VP of Finance | Keynote Speaker | 40 Under 40 CPA Practice Advisor

Finance teams should be able to do more strategic work to support the expanding CFO role, and still have a life outside of work. That is what my work is all about.​

Through Wharton Online, workshops, and The Diary of a CFO podcast, I share practical tools to reset how finance teams work so they can think ahead, partner with the business, and avoid burning out in the process.​

The reality is that most finance functions are still built to report, not to lead. That creates blind spots for CEOs, delays decisions for boards, and leaves CFOs without a real pipeline of ready successors.​

Over the last 15+ years, I have led finance teams across manufacturing, technology, pharmaceuticals, and now a nonprofit CDFI. The pattern is the same: strategy stays with the CFO and maybe FP&A, while the rest of the team is stuck in transactions and constant urgency, with very little time or support to actually think like executives.​

What boards and CEOs value is not more reports. They want finance leaders who can spot signals early, frame choices clearly, and influence outcomes, while staying grounded and human in high pressure environments.​

That is how I build and lead teams, and it is the lens I bring to every class, talk, and episode: practical, realistic ways to grow your impact, develop your team, and build a bench of future CFOs without losing yourself in the process.​

If you are building a pipeline of finance leaders or aiming for the CFO seat yourself and want to do it in a more sustainable way, let us connect.​

I’ve been watching the Uncle Nearest situation unfold for months.

As a Black woman CFO who reports to a Black woman CEO, this hit close to home for a lot of reasons, but today I want to stay focused on the finance side of the story.

If you haven’t followed it, here’s what went down:

1️⃣ Uncle Nearest grew fast, with real brand power and revenue in the tens of millions. 

2️⃣ To fuel that growth, they took on a big credit facility mainly backed by whiskey inventory, with total loans crossing the 100 million dollar mark.  

3️⃣ Later, serious questions were raised about the accuracy of the numbers going to the lender, especially around inventory and liabilities. 

4️⃣ The lender sued for default and a court put the business into receivership. 

5️⃣ The founders then sued their former CFO, accusing him of overstating inventory, hiding obligations, and abusing his control over systems and equity. 

The legal process is still ongoing, but the damage to the company and the founders is already very real.  

From a finance perspective, here’s what this really shows:  

💡One role had too much control 
 
The CFO sat at the center of the numbers, the systems, and the lender relationship.

💡 Growth moved faster than the control environment  

Revenues, loans, and valuation all scaled. 
The control framework and governance did not keep pace.

💡 “I have a CFO” was enough
 
This part is uncomfortable, because it’s common. 

The real risk isn’t “not having a CFO."

The risk is assuming that having someone with that title automatically means your finance house is in order.  

💭 So what does a healthier system actually look like as a company grows? 

Very roughly:  

> Early on  

✅️ A bookkeeper or outsourced accounting to keep the records straight.  

✅️ A tax CPA to file and keep you compliant.  

> As you grow into multiple eight figures in revenue  

 ✅️ A controller or strong senior accountant who owns the close, reconciliations, and the integrity of the numbers. 

✅️ A finance lead or CFO who focuses on forecasting, cash runway, and investor conversations.  

> Once you’re in the 50–100M+ or structured‑debt territory, your team should include:
 
✅️ A CFO  

✅️ A controller 
  
✅️ A treasury function that manages cash, liquidity, covenants, and collateral reporting, with clear rules and shared control around borrowing and lender communications.  

✅️ An internal audit or a risk and controls function that tests whether your processes work the way you think they do, and has a direct line to the board or audit committee, not just to the CFO.  

If you work in finance or accounting, this may sound obvious.

It is not obvious to many people outside our world. 

A lot of founders, like in the case of Uncle Nearest, genuinely believe:

“I hired a CFO, so finance is handled.”  

So, if you’re a founder and you’re not sure whether your current finance setup fits the size and risks of your business, I’m always happy to be a sounding board.

Feel free to DM me.

Most finance updates are technically correct but practically useless.
I’ve seen it countless times in CEO and board updates:

“Cash on hand is X.”
“Revenue is up Y% vs last quarter.”
“Expenses are up Z% vs last year.”

The numbers are right.

The deck or dashboard might be flawless. 

But people walk away thinking, “Okay, now what?”

After leading accounting and FP&A for over a decade, here’s what I’ve found actually helps:

1️⃣ For each metric, write down the questions or concerns it naturally raises.

Cash:
→ When are we going to run out of cash? 
→ Do we need to raise more money?
​
Revenue and Net Income:
→ Are we on track for the plan?
→ Will we get our bonus?

Expenses
→ Is our cost base getting out of control?
→ Do we need to cut or slow down?
​
2️⃣ When you share the metric, add one simple sentence that answers one of those questions.

Cash on hand is X.
→ At this pace, we have about [...] months before cash gets tight.
​
Revenue is up Y% vs last quarter.
→ That keeps us roughly on track for the plan, so we don’t need to change our targets yet.

Expenses are up Z% vs last year.
→ If we don’t change something, we’re likely to breach our margin targets or a bank covenant around [month/year].
​
Same numbers.
Different level of impact.
Because now the update actually helps people decide what to do next.

This is powerful on its own.
But it’s even more powerful when it scales.

The real cherry on top is when your entire team does this too, not just you.

Hitting publish on this episode felt uncomfortable in a way I did not expect.

It is much easier to talk about frameworks and best practices than it is to talk honestly about the hard seasons of a career.

In this solo episode of The Diary of a CFO Podcast, I open up about my 15‑year journey from staff accountant to CFO, including:

✅  The roles that came with more stress before more pay

✅  The decision to step out of people management and take a pay cut

✅  Being told I was “not strategic enough” despite being a CPA, CMA with an MBA

✅  Trying to grow a big career while raising little kids and staying present as a caregiver

If you’re in accounting or finance and you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still not moving fast enough, this episode will give you a practical sense of what to focus on next.

My 15-Year Journey from Staff Accountant to CFO: The Parts Most People Don’t See

Budgets are the corporate version of "This is the year I eat clean and work out five times a week."

Then it's a long day in January. 
You're exhausted. 
Someone says "Let's just grab burgers." 

You hesitate for half a second. 

But next thing you know, you're in the drive-through, window down, telling yourself this one doesn't count.

Budgets work the same way!

It's the "just this once" effect.

One skipped workout. 
One extra headcount. 
One exception for a customer. 
One project outside the plan.

Each one feels small. 
Each one is defensible. But, they add up fast. 

And by March, the budget on paper and the way money is actually moving look nothing alike.

Sound familiar?

Next month, I'm running a free webinar titled:
"Why Most Budgets Fail by March"

I'll unpack this with Michael Keller, Procurement Director at Vertice.

AI won’t fix a weak finance function.
It will expose it.

What really separates the teams that will win in 2026 isn’t who experiments with the most tools. It’s who:

✅ Redesigns workflows so work actually moves faster and smarter, not just “more automated”

✅ Invests in judgment, business acumen, and storytelling, not just dashboards

✅ Think about AI as a practical partner, not a magic solution.

🔁Share this finance leader who should be in the room with us!

Your team isn’t resisting change.
They’re playing defense.

I’ve been leading finance teams and system implementations for over a decade, and this only clicked for me about five months ago after talking with Michael L. High, on The Diary of a CFO Podcast.

For years, I got frustrated when people pushed back on new processes and system changes with the infamous: 

“𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐞’𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐭.”

On the podcast, I asked Mike what he thought the ideal makeup of a finance team looked like.

To paraphrase, he said to think about it like a soccer team.

💡 Not everyone is supposed to play offense.
💡 Some people are built to push things forward.
💡 Some are built to protect what already works.
💡 And some are built to connect the two.

The most important part of leadership is making sure you have the right mix of roles on your team.

That’s when it clicked.

The problem wasn’t that people didn’t want to change.

It was that we didn’t have enough people in midfield and offense to help change actually make it through.

So now, when I put a team together for a project, I look beyond skills and knowledge and pay more attention to how each person naturally shows up.

 ✅ Who is offense?
 ✅ Who is midfield?
 ✅ Who is defense?

I wish I had understood this a lot earlier.
But better late than never!

Why “Resistance to Change” Is Often a Team Design Problem

On paper, a first‑time CFO has “made it.”
In reality, many lie awake at night replaying board meetings, wondering when someone will notice the gaps they feel inside.
​
In my conversation with former divisional CFO and mentor to first‑time CFOs Kevin Appleby, that tension came up again and again. 

You get the title, the seat at the table, the visibility,
but not a new brain, not a new nervous system,
and definitely not a neat manual for what to do next.
​
You’re suddenly the person who has to:

- Tell the uncomfortable truth about risk, cash, and broken models, even when no one wants to hear it

- Turn messy reality into a forward‑looking story your board and CEO can act on

- Lead a finance team that’s expected to partner the business, while you are still working out what the role really demands of you
​
Meanwhile, you’re carrying questions you don’t say out loud:

- “Am I the only one who feels this unprepared?”

- “What if they realise how much I am still figuring out?”

- “What exactly should I focus on in these first few months?”
​
In this episode of The Diary of a CFO, Kevin and I dig into:

✅ Why you will never feel 100% ready for the CFO seat, and why that is normal

✅ What actually changes when you move from finance leader to CFO

✅ The real difference between a good finance team and a great one

✅ How to shift from reporting the numbers to truly partnering the business

✅ Imposter syndrome, risk, and being where the buck stops

✅ How to think about the kind of CFO you want to be, so you stop trying to be great at all forty five skills at once.
