Today’s accounting leaders aren’t asking whether AI will change finance. They’re asking how to lead through it.
Gorgias is one of the world’s leading AI-native customer experience platforms, helping more than 15,000 brands automate customer support with AI. As one of the fastest-growing software companies in its category, AI is embedded throughout the business, including the finance organization.

Leading that transformation is Yohan Jacquin, VP of Accounting. Since joining Gorgias, Yohan has reduced the company’s financial close from 15 business days to 7, automated high-volume accounting workflows, and is building toward 100% agent-prepared journal entries. Most importantly, he has transformed how accounting creates value by enabling the team to spend less time preparing information and more time supporting strategic business decisions.

This session is not about AI features or product demos. It is a practical discussion on what it takes to build trust in AI, where to start with automation, how to evolve accountants from preparers into reviewers, and how to lead a finance organization through one of the biggest shifts the profession has seen in decades.

Whether you are evaluating AI today or already deploying it across finance, you will leave with practical lessons and a clear framework for building the modern accounting organization.
