How our CFO closes the books with AI (Thu 12th November, 1pm GMT) - FREE

What does month-end look like when AI is doing the work, not just answering questions? In this FIN webinar, we explore how Tugger’s CFO, Mark Dugdale, is using AI to run an automated end-of-month close and reporting process across a multi-entity group. Mark has moved well beyond prompt-based experimentation. Using Claude and Tugger, he consolidates entities, generates P&L reports, and produces monthly management accounts and Board-ready reporting automatically. Data flows from Xero through Tugger into Claude, creating a seamless pipeline that’s redefining how finance teams operate. We’ll also see a demo of Tugger, which brings together systems like Xero, HubSpot and Simpro® into a single, secure data warehouse. With AI Insights, you can ask questions in natural language across all your financial and operational data and get instant, traceable answers. No SQL. No dashboards. No waiting. This is a real-world, peer-driven story for CFOs and Financial Controllers who want practical insight, not theory. We’ll unpack what’s working, what surprised him, what was clunky at first and how he maintains control and trust in the numbers.

You’ll be joined by Tugger’s co-founder Craig Morrall and their CFO Mark Dugdale who are happy to share their story. If you’re curious what a genuinely AI-enabled month-end and Board reporting process looks like, this is the conversation.

AI in Finance: Cutting Through the Hype for Small Businesses (Thurs 19th November, 12.30 PM GMT, online)

Join Anne Allibone, Fractional CFO and Founder of Finzu.ai, as she cuts through the noise and explores the practical ways small businesses can use AI to drive efficiency, improve decision-making, and create real value. AI is promising to change finance faster than any other function, but most of the investment going into it isn’t paying off. Research results vary but most suggest 80-95% of AI projects still fail to show a measurable return. Join our upcoming webinar to understand exactly why that happens - and how to cut through the noise so your team can be in the successful 5-20% actually driving value. We’ll cover what AI is actually good for in a small finance function (and where simple automation still wins), how roles are genuinely shifting rather than disappearing, and a practical five-step framework to trial AI safely without wasting time or budget. Learning objectives: by the end of the session be able to: • Explain why most AI investment currently fails to deliver ROI, and what that means practically for a small business • Distinguish where AI genuinely helps finance work versus where simpler automation is the right tool • Identify one or two realistic, low-risk use cases to trial in your own finance function • Understand how finance roles are shifting (not disappearing) and what skills to build into your teams now • Ask informed questions when evaluating AI-enabled finance tools and vendors
