Scaling Finance Without the Manual Work: AI, Spend Controls & Month-End

Two questions have came up over the recent months in enki's community chat for fractional finance leaders:

1. How do you run procure-to-pay across several entities and currencies?; and
2. How do you fix an expense process where receipts are everywhere and everything gets reformatted for the ledger?

If this is something you've been pondering yourself, join us for a finance thought-leadership breakfast at The Savoy to talk it through with other finance leaders.

We’ve partnered with Ramp, the finance operations platform for cards, expenses, accounts payable and accounting automation. Ramp launched in the UK in September, so you’ll get early time with the team to explore the tool, and dive deep into the challenges you're facing.

Who’s this for?

CFOs, FDs and senior finance leaders at growing UK companies. If approvals live in email, receipts turn up weeks late, month-end takes longer than it should, or software and AI spend is creeping up without anyone owning it, this is for you.

Why be in the room

The value comes from the peers at the table. You’ll hear the success and war stories of other finance leaders who've handled approvals, receipts and spend controls, what they’d do differently, and what they tried that didn’t stick.

You’ll also get direct time with the Ramp team while the UK launch is still new.
