Eliminating the financial close with AI 🎙 Live at Sage Intacct Advantage
"AI changes everything" — that was one of the themes of the Sage Intacct Advantage conference this fall. To discuss what that means for the Intacct product, we're joined by Aaron Harris, CTO of Sage (and one of the founders of Intacct), Brendan Woods, founder and CEO of AutoEntry (recently acquired by Sage), and Dan Miller, VP of Product for Sage Intacct. Listen in to learn about how Sage Intacct is applying AI to build what they call the "Intelligent GL" enabling continuous accounting and perhaps even someday eliminating the financial close.
