• Building autonomous finance that delivers real value




Huron at Gartner Finance Symposium/Xpo

May 27-29 | National Harbor, MD

AI is everywhere in finance but enterprise value is not.

At Gartner Finance Symposium/XPO , Huron brings a practical, outcomes-driven perspective on how chief financial officers (CFOs) move beyond experimentation to build autonomous finance organizations that are faster, smarter, and measurably more effective.

We help the office of the CFO (oCFO) move from pilots to payoffs — connecting AI investments to operating model redesign, data readiness, governance, and adoption so transformation actually sticks.

What comes after the pilot?


AI is not the strategy. End-to-end finance transformation is.

Many finance leaders have launched AI pilots across close, forecasting, and analytics. Few have successfully scaled them into day-to-day finance operations.

Huron helps CFOs answer the hard questions:
  • Which AI use cases actually drive value?
  • How do we redesign finance processes and roles to support automation?
  • What data, governance, and change capabilities are required to scale?
  • How do we prove ROI—not just promise it?
Our approach aligns technology, people, and process to build autonomous finance capabilities that deliver durable, enterprise-wide impact.
