Is your finance function built for yesterday’s demands—or ready for what’s next?

A fast month-end is no longer the finish line; it’s the starting block. In today’s market, a "Best Practice" close is meaningless if your data is already stale by the time it reaches your forecast.

Join us on Thursday 21 May at W Hotel Melbourne for an exclusive breakfast event as we cut through the noise to explore the true AI evolution of the office of the CFO.

We will demonstrate how leading finance teams are using BlackLine to optimise current processes for immediate integrity and efficiency ('Best Practice'), while leveraging Workday Adaptive Planning to build the agile, digital foundation required to respond quickly and accurately to fast changing business conditions ('Next Practice').

You'll discover:

• The Velocity Advantage: How top-performing teams are reducing finance cycle times in BlackLine to feed real-time insights into Workday Adaptive Planning.
• Closing the Gap: Where traditional close-to-disclose processes break down—and how to fix the "hand-off" between accounting and FP&A.
• Defining "AI-Ready": What intelligent automation actually looks like when your financial close and your forward-looking forecasts speak the same language.
• The 2026 Roadmap: How to create a practical strategy that bridges today’s operational best practices with tomorrow’s autonomous finance.

Whether you’re looking to stabilise your current close or transform your organisation into a strategic powerhouse, this session will provide the clarity, strategy, and real-world insights you need to move forward with confidence.
