AI Opportunity Podcast: AI in Finance: A Practical Roadmap for CFOs with Kevin Appleby

In Today’s episode of The AI Opportunity we sit down with Kevin Appleby, Head of Partnerships at GrowCFO, to unpack what’s actually changing in finance – and what isn’t.

Kevin’s core observation surprised me; the problems in finance haven’t changed in 20 years. The tech finally has.

We talk about:

  • Why FP&A teams are overwhelmed by “too many solutions, not enough clarity”
  • A simple framework to choose the right tools without getting lost in the noise
  • What real AI looks like in finance (and how to spot the smoke-and-mirrors demos)
  • How leaders can help their teams feel confident instead of threatened
  • Why the biggest bottleneck isn’t AI at all — it’s data quality

If you’re a CFO or COO deciding where to start with AI, this episode gives you a grounded, no-hype roadmap.
