Rewiring Corporate Finance: The CFO's Blueprint for the AI Era
Most finance organizations have deployed AI. Eighty-four percent have not redesigned the work or the roles around it. The gap between buying AI and becoming an AI-capable function is the gap that will define the next decade
of CFO leadership.
Rewiring Corporate Finance is the architectural blueprint for the CFO who knows the function has to change and is not yet sure what to do about it. Three structural shifts must move together: periodic to continuous, reporting to reasoning, headcount-leveraged to agent-leveraged. The August 2, 2026 EU AI Act deadline is the regulatory clock the function cannot ignore.
The book redraws the org chart around five layers, including a Finance Platform seat that does not exist in most finance functions today. It defines a four-literacy bar — finance, data, AI, programming — that every role must clear. And it frames the platform investment as the lever that captures compounding value across every workflow at small marginal cost.
Written by an operator with fifteen years inside multinational finance functions at Philips and Vodafone and three years building AI products and advising companies hands-on. The book integrates two perspectives most CFO+AI books leave separate: the seat and the system.
Twelve chapters cover the close, FP&A, controlling and compliance, treasury, the long tail, the org chart, the talent agenda, the technical stack, the 12-month plan, and the 2030 destination. Every chapter ends with a CFO
Action Box of specific commitments with named owners and deadlines.
