Insights and thought leadership from CoPlane
Out-of-the-box AP automation tools cover 80-90% of invoices out of the gate, then hand the hardest, most expensive 10% back to your team. Here is what that gap actually costs, and how to close it.
Finance leaders at J&J, Hungryroot, and Parts Authority share how they got AI pilots approved without an AI title or a big IT project.
87% of CFOs say AI will be critical to finance in 2026. Only 21% are seeing measurable ROI. The gap has less to do with the technology than with where they aim it.
Eric Billings spent two decades in enterprise finance knowing exactly what was broken and never having the tools to fix it. Here's why he joined CoPlane as a forward-deployed engineer — and how he rebuilt a six-month project in a week.

Your finance benchmarks aren't just outdated — they're actively holding you back. As AI revolutionizes finance operations, traditional KPIs become liabilities, focusing teams on optimizing outdated processes rather than reinventing them.
As finance teams lost control to ERP complexity and outsourced processes, a new approach enables experts to reclaim sovereignty—not just requesting changes, but actively implementing them. Learn how subject matter experts can transform from process supplicants to process owners.
Despite decades of digital transformation, enterprise finance operations remain trapped in rigid processes. This post examines how organizational complexity becomes a prison, why current automation approaches fail, and what a truly intelligent finance operation requires.
The Big Four accounting firms operate within a system that transforms regulatory complexity into specialized services. But AI doesn't play by established rules - and it's about to demonstrate that many traditional approaches to compliance may be unnecessarily complex and costly.

BPOs are an economic anachronism; the dinosaurs that somehow survived the meteor strike of automation. But their days are numbered.
Enterprise software has transformed everywhere—except in finance and operations. Why? Because ERP complexity isn’t an accident—it’s the business model. Massive implementation costs. Endless complexity. Vendor lock-in disguised as 'modernization'. For decades, ERP vendors have profited from keeping enterprise systems just complex enough to require perpetual maintenance.
The back-office of large enterprises is being held hostage by a triumvirate of third party service providers (Big ERP, Big BPO, and Big 4) with a vested interest in maintaining an inflationary, low-productivity regime. AI offers a way out.
