Emapta, a global leader in offshore AI-ready dedicated staffing and workforce advisory services, today announced that John Raffaele, Global Head of Finance & Accounting and Workforce Transformation Advisor, will speak at the upcoming AICPA CFO Conference 2026, April 13-15 at Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
The conference is for CFOs who want to stay ahead, not catch up, and who operate in an environment where change is constant, complexity is expected, and leadership demands clarity. Through focused discussion on emerging trends, evolving expectations, and real-world implications, attendees gain perspective that supports stronger decisions ahead.
As finance leaders navigate a persistent talent shortage and increasing pressure to modernize, industry experts will explore new approaches to workforce strategy in the AI era.
Raffaele will present “The CFO’s AI Workforce Playbook: Solving the Finance Talent Shortage with Global Talent and AI-Ready Skills” April 15 at 10:15 a.m. The session will outline how finance leaders can combine AI-driven technology, workforce transformation strategies, and global talent access to build more agile, scalable finance organizations.
Attendees will gain insight into how companies can:
- Address the finance talent shortage
- Accelerate AI and automation adoption
- Reduce hiring friction and time-to-productivity
- Scale finance capabilities quickly without losing control of operations
- Build a future-ready finance organization
According to Raffaele, “The finance workforce is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI is changing how work gets done, but it’s also raising the bar for the skills teams need. CFOs who rethink their workforce strategy now by blending AI, upskilling, and global talent will be the ones who move from reacting to change to leading through it.”
