.entry-img img{ display:none !important; } .single .hentry .entry-img{ display:none !important; } https://open.spotify.com/episode/6BAhYyRQAlmf5YteAOrCI0 As automation and algorithms take on more financial analysis, the role of the finance leader is under increasing scrutiny. Boards and founders are asking what truly requires human judgment at the top of the finance function, and what can be handed over to machines. In this episode, Kevin Appleby talks with Rick Sanchez, Managing Principal and CEO of Robyn Consulting Group, about whether AI can replace the CFO. They explore how AI can accelerate decision-making, supercharge FP&A, streamline routine workflows, and deepen insight into unit economics, pricing, and retention, while highlighting why strategy, interpretation, and stakeholder leadership still demand an experienced finance executive. The discussion turns this vision into practical guidance: building a robust financial operating system, using AI to lower barriers to building and scaling SaaS products, and applying data to pricing and recurring revenue models. Rick also looks ahead to how fractional CFO services will evolve, arguing that those who blend FP&A expertise with AI tools will be best placed to solve complex problems. and that AI is ultimately a force multiplier for CFOs, not a replacement. Key topics covered: Rick outlines his transition from corporate revenue management and FP&A into a fractional CFO role, bringing Fortune 500–style tools and frameworks to founder-led and SaaS businesses. He explains why unit economics (price, quantity, and retention) are central levers for SaaS growth and how exercises like MRR growth ceiling analysis reveal where to focus effort. The conversation dives into pricing strategy, including starting with lower prices to acquire customers, then using value-based increases and retention to drive long-term profitability. Rick and Kevin explore how AI will reshape finance, from automating routine tasks to enhancing planning, analytics, and CEO decision-making, while still requiring human oversight and strategic judgment. They discuss how AI is lowering barriers to entry in SaaS, enabling rapid prototyping and go-to-market, while highlighting that distribution, marketing, and scalable business models still determine success. Looking ahead, Rick predicts strong growth in fractional CFO services powered by AI and bespoke FP&A tooling, and stresses clear differentiation between bookkeeping, controllership, and high-value CFO advisory work.

In this episode, the trio breaks down the Tamil film Good Bad Ugly starring Ajith Kumar in three parts — the good, the bad, and the ugly — just like the title promises but never delivers. They start with the Good section, appreciating the brief glimmers of hope the movie shows in its stylish opening, only to see it spiral into chaos. The Bad part dives into the film's meandering plotlines, lazy mid-section, and character arcs that go nowhere fast. Finally, the Ugly section wrapped up with a hilarious imaginary pitch meeting where the director convinces Ajith with, “Sir, this is like all your greatest hits — but louder, slower, and with three heroines who exist only in flashbacks,” leaving everyone wondering if this film was a tribute or a parody in disguise.---------------------------------Support Us---------------------------------------- Support The Modern Akatsuki if you feel like it .
