Finance Team of One: What's Actually Possible with AI in 2026
Robbie Carroll runs Solidroad's entire finance function on his own. He walks through the stack, the workflows, and what he would not automate. Now available on demand.
Inside the session
Two or three years ago, one person could not run the full finance function of a scaling startup. Now they can. Robbie Carroll is Solidroad's entire finance team: accounting, finance, and rev ops at a Series A AI company, one year into the role.
In this replay, Robbie Carroll (Head of Finance, Solidroad) walked through exactly how he does it: the stack (Claude, Aleph, Xero, Mercury, Ramp, Wise, JPMorgan, Rippling), how he consolidated multiple bank accounts into a single source of truth he queries through Claude, what he tried that didn't work, and where AI genuinely replaces headcount versus where it still can't. David Rapoport (Head of CFO Partnerships, Aleph) ran the interview, with audience questions answered along the way. No product pitch, no demos, just the honest playbook of a finance team of one.
Built for finance leaders at early-stage, VC-backed startups (Seed through Series B) who are the entire finance function, plus founders and CFOs deciding when their first finance hire actually needs a second.
