APPZEN EVOLVE EMEA  |  MAY 21

From automation to autonomy: building the AI-powered finance workforce

The office of the CFO is being transformed by agentic AI, with the ability to both assist and take authoritative action. Finance leaders today are uniquely situated to set the standard, not only for what modern finance will look like in the future, but also for all business operations. 

Join AppZen Evolve in Frankfurt on Thursday, 21st May to explore how agentic AI is reshaping AP, T&E, and inbox workflows, see how leading organisations are managing the change of deploying digital workers alongside their teams, and leave with a clear path to autonomous, audit-ready finance operations.

Transformation for all


Whether you're a finance leader building the business case for autonomous finance operations or a practitioner ready to replace manual work with intelligent agents, you'll leave with a clear understanding of what agentic AI means for your team. Learn how global organisations are managing workforce change, accelerating AP and expense workflows, staying compliant with evolving regulations, e-invoicing, and VAT mandates, and scaling operations without adding headcount.
