What if the biggest bottleneck in finance isn't the software, but the way work gets done?

In this episode Chris sits down with John Glasgow, Founder and CEO of Campfire, an AI-native ERP platform built for finance and accounting teams. John explains why simply adding AI to legacy systems falls short, how agentic workflows are changing accounting operations, and why finance leaders should think of AI as a teammate rather than a tool. He shares real examples of AI handling reconciliations, treasury management, reporting, and close processes while keeping humans accountable for outcomes.

The conversation explores practical adoption strategies, how finance teams can build trust in AI, and where human judgment remains essential. Leaders will come away with a clear framework for introducing AI into critical business processes while maintaining accuracy, accountability, and stakeholder confidence.
