There's a chance I'm documenting the death of the very thing I've spent 20 years building. If so, at least I'll have great content.
I'm a Chartered Accountant and CFO with 20 years of experience across SaaS, ecommerce, and global enterprise finance. I've built finance functions from scratch across multiple businesses, led PE-backed exits, and raised capital from some of the world's most recognised investors — across offices in London, Paris, New York, and Sydney, before settling in Brisbane.
I know what good operational finance looks like. I've spent two decades building it. Which is exactly why I can tell you — AI is about to make most of it unrecognisable.
I'm already building AI-driven finance back offices for the businesses I work with today. Automated close processes, intelligent workflows, board-pack production. The results are not subtle.
This community is where I document what's actually working, what isn't, and what it means for the finance leaders who haven't started yet.
