Jeffery Cronin (Chief Strategy Officer, Zenwork)
Description:
The accounting profession changed in February 2026. Anthropic’s AI triggered a market-wide disruption. Goldman Sachs replaced accounting roles with AI agents. And 41% of companies globally plan to automate workforce functions by end of year.
This isn’t a future concern. It’s already in motion.
In this session, Jeffrey Cronin, Chief Strategy Officer at Zenwork, walks CPAs, Controllers, and Finance Leaders through the honest reality of where Accounts Payable sits in the automation timeline – and the three strategic shifts that separate professionals who thrive from those who get left behind.
No hype. No speculation. Just a clear, practical framework built for where the profession is right now.
Key Takeaways:
- A clear understanding of which AP roles are at risk and which are AI-resistant
- A practical framework to reposition yourself from task executor to strategic advisor
- The 12-month window to implement automation before it becomes table stakes
