As digital tools reshape how companies operate, finance teams face growing pressure to work faster, smarter, and more strategically. The session will explore how AI and automation can streamline processes, improve accuracy, and unlock time for higher-value work. Pretorius will share practical strategies on what to automate first, how to use AI to strengthen forecasting and cash flow visibility, and how to build scalable tech stacks that evolve with the business. The discussion will include live demos showcasing real workflows that bring these tools to life.
“AI isn’t here to replace finance professionals. It’s here to amplify them,” said Pretorius. “We’ll walk through how to automate without breaking things, how to elevate decision-making with smarter insights, and how to create a finance function that grows with your company. Our goal is to make technology work for people, not the other way around.”
The one-hour session is geared toward founders, CEOs, CFOs, controllers, and finance leaders at startups and scaling companies who want to stay ahead of the curve. Attendees will gain first-hand insights from OCFO’s own innovation journey, where the company has implemented automation and AI across its internal operations and client services. These initiatives include automated financial health checks, AI-driven meeting transcriptions and task delegation, and pilot projects exploring real-time data analytics for decision support.
Pretorius has played a leading role in driving OCFO’s transformation as a forward-thinking finance partner. Under his direction, the firm launched an R&D committee to identify and test new technologies, introduced internal innovation sprints, and built a network of more than 300 financial professionals worldwide. This foundation positions OCFO to integrate the next wave of AI tools, predictive analytics, and large language models that enhance performance and client outcomes.
“Finance leaders are standing at the edge of an incredible opportunity,” Pretorius added. “By combining automation and AI, teams can go beyond closing the books and start shaping business strategy in real time. This session will show exactly how to start that journey, no technical background required.”
The event is part of OCFO’s ongoing effort to empower business owners and finance professionals through education and innovation. By sharing tools, frameworks, and real-world examples, OCFO aims to help companies build finance functions that are more efficient, data-driven, and future-ready.
