A former high school teacher, Amy brings an educator’s perspective to her work, helping clients understand their options and make informed financial decisions.SESSION TWOBrady BryanAuthor & EntrepreneurThe AI-Era Controller: Let AI Handle the Routine. Make Room for What MattersArtificial intelligence is changing how accounting, finance, and professional services approach work. For controllers, that creates an opportunity to rethink how one of their most valuable resources—time—is spent. As AI tools increasingly take on repetitive, lower-value tasks, controllers can create capacity for the analysis, judgment, decision-making, and strategic work that can have a greater impact on the organization.Drawing on his experience building and scaling a professional services firm, as well as insights from his book The Millionaires You Went to High School With, Brady will explore the importance of deliberately protecting time for the activities that create the greatest return—and how AI can serve as a force multiplier in that effort. Attendees will consider practical ways to think about AI as a tool for increasing capacity, elevating the controller’s role, and focusing more time on higher-value work.About the speaker:Brady Bryan is an author and entrepreneur who founded BRAYN Consulting in 2010 and grew it into a 50-person, 15-city professional services firm serving clients across the United States. He led the company through its growth, operated it using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), and ultimately sold the business in 2025. Brady is a keynote speaker for groups including AIA, ACEC, and CFMA, and is the author of The Millionaires You Went to High School With: Uncommon Wealth from Common People.Disclaimers -Photography: By registering for this event, you agree and acknowledge that IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) along with its partners, subcontractors, or affiliates plan to take photographs at the IMA Chapter/Council Event Name for reproduction in educational, news, or promotional material, whether in print, electronic, or other media including IMA and IMA’s affiliate partner websites.
