The World Finance Forum Manchester made one thing clear: AI in finance is no longer "what if", it's "how fast." The conversations confirmed what we're already seeing every day: teams are actively figuring out how to make it work in their day-to-day operations right now. That's exactly what Síomha Mc Gowran unpacked in her roundtable, "From Experimentation to Real Workflows: How AI Is Reshaping Finance Operations" and the room had a lot to say. Finance leaders are asking the hard questions now: Which processes actually benefit from AI? How do you maintain control? What does "good" look like in practice? Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation at our stand and in the session. And to the World Finance Forum team for bringing together the right people to have it. See you at the London edition on 3 September! 📌 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eJ6Z8Z_Z

Most finance teams are preparing for the invoices they can see. Standard supplier invoices? Covered. But France's e-invoicing mandate also reaches SaaS subscriptions, expense reports, and corporate card purchases, and only 35% of finance leaders know that last category is in scope. That's from our latest study with OpinionWay, where 501 finance leaders across the country submitted their level of preparedness, four months ahead of the September 2026 deadline. We discovered the mandate applies more broadly than most teams realise: ▪️ French subsidiaries of international groups ▪️ Companies VAT-registered in France without a local entity ▪️ Suppliers issuing invoices to French businesses On July 28, Spendesk's e-invoicing specialists Sophie Vongkhamsao and Gabrielle Poirette are running a live session to help you see the full picture and close any gaps before the deadline. 📌 Reserve your spot: https://lnkd.in/eHuE7E3Y

Most procurement strategies look good on paper. The hard part is making them work in practice. Anton Mack, Sales Team Leader at Spendesk, will be at the IFOL P2P Leadership Summit 2026 to talk about exactly that. His session — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 — covers the real reasons procurement breaks down, how to build the foundations that modern finance teams actually need, and what it takes for AI to deliver results (hint: it starts long before the technology). If you're building procurement that actually scales, this session is worth your time. 📅 16 July - 4:25 PM BST Reserve your spot 👇 https://lnkd.in/eeVXv872

September 2026 marks a turning point for any business operating in France. The country's new e-invoicing mandate goes live and it reaches further than most teams expect. French subsidiaries, foreign businesses VAT-registered in France, and suppliers to French entities are all in scope. According to our latest study with OpinionWay, 23% of finance teams have already chosen a platform, but their processes and team training aren't there yet. If that sounds familiar, this webinar is for you. On July 28, two of Spendesk's e-invoicing specialists, Sophie Vongkhamsao and Gabrielle Poirette, will walk you through exactly where you stand and what to do next: ▪️Are you actually impacted? Find out if the mandate applies to your business and what it means in practice ▪️ What changes in September 2026 explained in plain terms, without the regulatory fog ▪️ Where other finance teams are right now and the common pitfalls you can avoid ▪️ Your live Q&A — bring your specific questions and get real answers 📌 Reserve your spot here: https://lnkd.in/eHuE7E3Y

Your AI assistant is only as good as the context it has. Most finance teams are still feeding it manually — exporting, uploading, reformatting, then doing it all again when a number changes. Over the past few weeks we've shared early signals from beta tests. Today it's official. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it lets AI assistants like Claude, Dust, ChatGPT, and more talk directly to your live spend data. Query in plain language. Get answers from live numbers. Schedule reports to run automatically. No more uploads, stale exports, or starting over every time something changes. Watch our CFO, Pauline, explain exactly what the impact is. 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q04nSnlr0 #SpendeskAIConnect

Somewhere between the AI pilot and the transformed finance function, there's a lot of hard, quiet work that nobody talks about enough. That's exactly what Spendesk's Síomha Mc Gowran is bringing to World Finance Forum Manchester next Thursday at 11:15. "𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗜 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀" A roundtable on what it actually takes to turn AI experiments into workflows that stick, with a room full of finance leaders working through the same questions.
