Why It Matters For Product Managers
Finance is rich in structured data, controls, and repeatable steps—perfect for AI. A finance‑savvy CPO signals bigger bets on:
Autonomous workflows: auto‑match, auto‑reconcile, continuous close.
Trust by design: evidence, lineage, and approvals built into the UI.
Predictive risk calls: spot issues before month‑end, not after.
Strong integrations: ERP/GL, bank feeds, and data lakes so AI has context.
