Finance teams are using more tools than ever - from ERPs and spend management to planning, data, automation and AI. But with more tools comes more complexity: how do they fit together, where does data flow, and where can AI make a difference?
In this session, Maxime Reding, Finance Manager at Spendesk will break down the modern finance stack and share a practical framework for understanding how its different layers work together from core finance systems and data to integrations, automation and AI.
Carsten Gerger, VP Finance at Lucanet, will take you behind the scenes of Lucanet’s finance stack, sharing what’s working, what isn’t, and where AI is genuinely adding value.
Together they will deliver a practical look at how finance teams can build a more connected, efficient, and future-ready stack.
Key discussion points:
- Mapping the modern finance stack
The key layers, from ERP, banking and spend management to consolidation, planning, data warehouses, integration, and reporting - How the pieces fit together
Understanding how data moves between systems and the role of APIs, connectors, integration layers,and automation in creating a connected finance function - From automation to AI
What is genuinely automated today, where AI can add value, and how AI fits into the existing technology stack rather than sitting in isolation - What CFOs should look for when evaluating new tools
How to assess technology based on data quality, interoperability, scalability, usability, and measurable business impact - Building a stack that scales
The key questions finance leaders should ask as their organisation, data and technology landscape become more complex - and how to avoid adding tools that create more noise than value
The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
