Code Story | Startup Podcast for CTOs, CEOs and Technical Founders · S12 E25: From Processing $500B at Intuit to Building the Fraud-Proof Ledger: Eradicating Financial Misstatement with Ahikam Kaufman, Co-Founder & CEO of Safebooks AI · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

We thought we could solve the problem one way and then you have to pivot or linger.

Or sometimes the customer has constraints.

But at the end of the day, you don't need the timeline.

So I think that's one thing that we became super sensitive about because I think the time commitments

for how much effort involved when you're going to deliver are, in my humble opinion, are more important to people than even money.

It's because that's their main resource.

It's like, it's them, it's their commitment, it's their sacrifice, it's their balance between their daily job and bringing on a new system.

Look, I think entering into the office of the CFO is in its infancy right now.

I think we're just getting started.

Unlike maybe other areas of the organization like cybersecurity, DevOps, sales, marketing, and so on, so forth, engineering, of course.

I think it's really, it's an infancy.

I do think that a lot of the things that finance people are consumed with today would be totally automated over the next three years.

On the other hand, I think the real work that needs to be done around governance, processes, process improvement, accounting decisions, things like that, would remain with people.

So I think the finance corporate function is going to go through a tremendous transformation and transition into much more automation.

I think we're starting late in the process just because, again, engineering came first and sales and marketing.

But I think the final turn is coming right now.

So I think that's like I see the future.

So I think things are going to be done.

I think the system of records are going to stay.

But I think every system of records would require to do way more or being augmented by a platform like Safebooks.
