The books are closed. The numbers are final. Until someone finds something that needs correcting.

Vena's latest research found that 78% of finance teams reported having to correct numbers after the month-end close was marked complete at least once in the past year. and Disconnected systems are making the job harder. Among teams pulling data from 7–8 systems, 52% spend half or more of their close time on manual data work.

That's the problem with treating the close as a race to the finish line. Getting it done matters but getting numbers Finance can stand behind matters more.

If you could give your younger self one piece of career advice, what would it be?

We asked Finance leaders at our Strategic CFO Experience earlier this year, and their answers are a good reminder that technical skills might help you do the job, but adaptability, relationships and a willingness to keep learning shape how far you can grow.

Different experiences, but a shared reminder that growing in Finance takes more than technical expertise.

What's one career lesson you'd pass along?

AFP 2026, see you in Las Vegas November 10th! 👋

One interest-rate change can impact everything from net interest margin to liquidity and profitability. But getting FP&A and Treasury aligned on what those changes mean shouldn't require two separate financial stories.

That's what we're bringing to the FP&A Tech Zone.

Catch Vena Vice President of Solutions, Mark Erdmann, as he presents his session, Uniting FP&A and Treasury with AI-Powered Orchestrated Planning and Close.

We'll demonstrate how a shared set of assumptions connects FP&A and Treasury plans, with AI helping explain what changed and why, right inside the Excel experience Finance already knows.

November 10 | 9:45–10:15 AM PST

What happens when your go-to people go on PTO?

So much business knowledge still depends on knowing who to ask, who was in the meeting, or who remembers why a decision was made.

That's what cumulative context can change. Instead of knowledge staying with individuals or getting lost between teams, it becomes part of a shared intelligence foundation that everyone can build on.

In our Ask an Expert series, Vena VP of Strategy, Integration & Growth, Morpheo Charly Lin explores how this can improve knowledge transfer, productivity and make business intelligence more accessible across the organization.

AI is getting better at giving answers. But giving it the authority to act on them? That's a different conversation.

For Finance teams, moving beyond AI experiments means figuring out what can be automated, where governance needs to step in, and which decisions should stay in human hands.

If AI is going to accelerate your team's potential, it has to stay accountable, auditable and governable in the workflows that matter most.

Tomorrow Founder of Corporate Finance Hub, Bojan Radojicic, and Vena Solutions Consultant, Mitch McCabe, will unpack what it takes to move from AI experiments to governed action in AI in Finance: Closing the Trust Gap.

Your planning platform didn’t replace Excel, and it wasn't supposed to.

92% of respondents at companies with a CPM platform still use Excel at least weekly outside that platform, according to Vena's latest research. AI in Excel is a key part of that workflow, with 86% of surveyed finance professionals already using AI tools directly inside Excel.

Excel is where Finance, Business and IT teams already do their best work. It’s the foundation to build on.

Excel alone can't drive business performance. As AI joins Excel in Finance's weekly routine, effective planning requires trusted data, cumulative context and governance so every insight reaches on-time ex*****on. That’s how teams move towards orchestration, closing the gap between the signal and ex*****on.

A new business priority can sound simple until Finance has to rebuild the reporting behind it.

That was part of the challenge at MY.GAMES. New areas of focus meant new reports to create and validate, while limitations in its previous platform also restricted how many forecast versions the team could practically maintain.

With Vena, MY.GAMES can build reports faster as priorities change, preserve a wider range of forecast versions and take more ownership of its planning environment internally. The financial close is also now 2–3 days faster than with its previous FP&A solution.

That is what gives MY.GAMES CFO Valeria Chebotareva’s point about flexibility real weight. It is not just about being able to build something complex. It is about being able to adapt without turning every new requirement into a long development project.

As AI usage grows, the line item on the budget grows with it.

Unlike a fixed software subscription, the bill moves with consumption. Tracking spend is only half the job. Finance needs to see where AI costs stand against the budget and have the ability to adjust usage before spend gets away from the plan.

Watch Vena CTO Hugh Cu***ng tackle the misconception that AI token spend is impossible to manage as he explains how we're working with customers to bring AI spend visibility and control together through Acterys.

AI can read your numbers, but that doesn't mean it knows your business.

Without proper context, even a convincing AI recommendation can miss the mark, and the context you provide during setup isn't enough. Cumulative context builds over time, so you're not starting from scratch with every prompt.

In this United.ai article, Vena CTO, Hugh Cu***ng, says the model is not the problem and swapping in a better one won't fix it. You need cumulative context, a governed memory of what your numbers mean, which forecast wins and why that exception got approved. It builds through every planning cycle, correction and decision. It is scoped, permission-aware and auditable.

Giving AI more responsibility isn't just about what it can do, it's really about what it understands, what it's allowed to do, and who remains accountable.

Before AI becomes a bigger part of your financial workflows, the data underneath it still has to make sense to the people relying on it.

Vena CTO Hugh Cu***ng and Morpheo AI CEO & Co-Founder Sandesh Patil sit down to talk about why the financial data underneath the workflow has to hold up first.
