Governance, Scale, and Real Outcomes: Enterprise Finance Automation with Rossum

What if your accounts payable team could stop processing invoices and start driving business strategy? In this episode of Field Notes, Tom Alexander, Head of AI Transformation, sits down with Zach Hemmant-Low, Chief Sales Officer at Rossum AI, to explore how intelligent document processing is reshaping the way enterprise finance teams operate. Zach shares how Rossum's purpose-built AI model, trained on over $1.8 trillion in transactions, is helping Fortune 1000 companies do more than eliminate manual work. It's helping them capture early payment discounts, renegotiate supplier terms, reduce reliance on temp staff, and turn raw document data into forward-looking business intelligence.  The conversation covers: Why the biggest ROI in AP automation often isn't efficiency; it's the working capital hiding in your backlog How Rossum's private language model eliminates the AI hallucination risk that makes finance leaders nervous about adoption The build vs. buy reality: why extracting invoice data is the easy part, and what most teams underestimate about end-to-end automation What CFOs and CTOs should do before they start any automation project and the one mistake that derails most initiatives How CrossCountry and Rossum built their partnership by tackling the hardest client problem first Whether you're a CFO evaluating AI tools, a CTO navigating the build vs. buy question, or a transformation leader trying to make the case for automation investment, this episode gives you the frameworks and the real-world proof points to move forward with confidence.
