Finance leaders from DUDE Wipes, E.L.F. BEAUTY, Fireworks Over America, the Portland Pickles Baseball Team and more share how they are using AI within their finance teams. “The way I see it is that AI will take out people who aren’t good in the market, and it has created an initiative to figure out new ways in which people can add value,” said Jasmine DiLucci, JD, CPA, EA. “I hope that AI will one day be able to enhance my firm to the point where it’s easier to run, I can hire fewer employees with more output, that sort of thing.” Read the latest edition of the CFO Peer Audit with takes from Jeffrey Klimkowski, Mandy Fields, Mike Zielinski, alan miller, Nathan Carter and Jasmine DiLucci, JD, CPA, EA here: https://lnkd.in/e7UfqHTH

I'm often called in to assist businesses that have trusted someone who claimed to have deep expertise in financial management processes—but unfortunately, lacked the necessary skills. While it can be easy to point fingers at the finance manager, these situations reveal something more important: the blind spots we all have as business owners, supervisors, employees and board members. As Adam Grant discusses in Think Again, overconfidence can often overshadow accuracy. But it's not just about one person's mistake. It's about our collective responsibility to ensure proper fiscal oversight. We need to recognize that fiscal management isn't just one person's problem or responsibility—it's something we all need to be actively engaged in. That's why Fiscal Eye exists: to provide the tools for better oversight, deeper understanding, and the ability to monitor finances effectively. We’re here to help ensure these oversights don’t happen, because the health of small businesses—so vital to our communities—depends on it. #AI #FiscalOversight #FinancialManagement #SmallBusiness #BlindSpots #UnconsciousBias
