The AI-Ready CFO

A Strategic Guide to Evaluating and Implementing AI, Automation, and Analytics

Finance leaders are under pressure from every direction. Boards want an AI strategy. Teams are already using tools in the shadows. Audit and compliance stakes have never been higher, and the talent pipeline keeps thinning. Yet most enterprise AI projects still fail, and they fail for reasons that have nothing to do with the technology.

The AI-Ready CFO is the first comprehensive playbook written specifically for finance leaders who need to move from cautious experimentation to disciplined, scalable AI adoption. Drawing on real implementations at organizations like eBay, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and Wells Fargo, Glenn Hopper delivers a practitioner’s guide forged in the operational reality of legacy systems, messy data, and unforgiving regulatory frameworks. This is the book for CFOs who need to translate technical hype into P&L impact without sacrificing a single line of internal control.

What's Inside

  • A 90-day execution model that takes AI initiatives from pilot to production without stalling in committee
  • ROI that goes beyond headcount cuts, with frameworks for measuring accuracy gains, cycle-time compression, and audit-risk reduction
  • Governance built for finance, covering model validation, explainability, and compliance guardrails designed around SOX, GAAP, and IFRS
  • A function-by-function tool map spanning FP&A, treasury, tax, internal audit, and controllership
  • The case for CFO leadership, explaining why the finance function is the natural center of gravity for enterprise AI and how to claim that role

From the Author
“I wrote these books because I kept seeing the same gap: finance leaders who understood their business inside and out, but had no practical roadmap for the technology that was about to reshape it. Each book tries to close that gap a little more.”

Glenn Hopper
