AI is rapidly transforming how finance teams operate,from accounting workflows to forecasting, reporting, and strategic decision-making. For finance leaders, the challenge is no longer whether AI will impact the function, but how to adopt it in a way that strengthens the business.
Our upcoming Gapstars CFO Club session brings together a small group of CFOs and finance leaders to explore what this transformation means in practice.
An exclusive peer-led discussion,
featuring insights from Light
Light is part of a new generation of AI-native finance platforms built from the ground up with artificial intelligence at the core. The company raised $30M in Series A funding led by Balderton Capital and has seen 30x growth over the past year, as hypergrowth companies such as Lovable adopt its AI-first financial infrastructure.
