How AI is Transforming the Office of the CFO

In the continuation of Dedale Intelligence’s AI Learning Series, Sami Kalai, Investment & Strategy Analyst, presents an in-depth analysis of how AI is reshaping the Office of the CFO, one of the most critical and workflow-intensive functions in any organisation.

Sami outlines how AI is already automating repetitive financial tasks such as invoice reading, expense extraction, anomaly detection and reconciliation. He then explores emerging capabilities such as LLM-powered reporting, automated variance analysis, and early forms of agentic AI, which could eventually take ownership of entire workflows before passing them to finance teams for review.

The session provides a structured view of AI disruption risk across sub-segments, explaining why areas like AP/AR automation and expense management are more exposed, while regulated and high-stakes categories such as tax management, accounting, ERP or treasury remain less likely to be disrupted.

Sami also benchmarks leading vendors based on their AI maturity, highlighting which companies are deploying real use cases in production, and which are lagging behind.
