How is AI actually showing up in finance today? We’re hosting an intimate Finance Leader Dinner in NYC on January 22 focused on bringing together a small group of CFOs and senior finance leaders for a real, unfiltered conversation on this topic. From pricing and billing to scaling operations, and where it’s creating real leverage (or real complexity). No panels or pitches, just thoughtful peer discussion over dinner. 📍 NYC  🗓️ Jan 22 | 6–8 PM  👥 CFOs and senior finance leaders If you’re interested in joining, request an invite here: https://lnkd.in/g7jC6yVQ

Most platforms stop at “global-ish.” Anrok doesn’t. See how Brilliant.org consolidated US and international sales tax into a single platform without stitching together tools or workflows. Read the full case study here → https://lnkd.in/eMzB2zG8

This month’s Modern Ledger looks at why finance teams are being evaluated earlier in fundraising and diligence, what “investor-ready” really means in 2026, and a major tax update every SaaS finance leader should be aware of: Chicago raising its cloud and SaaS tax to 15 percent starting in 2026. If you’re thinking about your next raise, audit, or expansion, this one’s worth the read.

Plans to scale in 2026? “Good enough” finance tools won’t cut it. Join Anrok, 512Financial, and Ramp to learn how founders are building smarter, more connected finance stacks:  ✔ Where finance stacks quietly break as you scale  ✔ Why disconnected tools limit visibility  ✔ What to fix now vs. what to plan for later 📅 Jan 28 @ 10 AM PT  🔗 Registration link in the comments

Second Front (2F) accelerates secure deployment of commercial software in defense and critical infrastructure—cutting timelines from years to weeks. But with a distributed team of 130 across multiple states and 100+ customers, tracking sales tax exposure manually wasn't sustainable. Their finance team needed real-time visibility into multi-state tax exposure, but their legacy platform couldn't handle SaaS complexities or integrate with their HR system. Here's how Anrok helped solve this 👇

Pricing is changing faster than most finance systems were built to handle. AI is pushing pricing models to become more dynamic, more usage-based, and more connected to product behavior than ever before. But here's the reality: finance teams are still figuring out how to operationalize that shift without adding friction or risk. That's why we're bringing together a small group of senior finance leaders in NYC for a candid, off-the-record conversation about what this next era actually demands. The details: 📍 NYC 📅 Thursday, January 22 🕕 6:00–9:00 PM No panels. No pitches. No slides. Just good food, good drinks, and honest discussion about what's working, what's not, and how teams are actually preparing. Co-hosted with Vayu, Rillet, Anrok, and PwC. We're keeping it intimate—around 30 people—so we can go deep, not wide. If this resonates with you, or you know a finance leader who should be in the room, send Kelsey or me a message.
