Too Many Tools, Not Enough Answers: Rethinking the Finance Tech Stack

Dec 8, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Event Description

Finance teams have added specialized tools to solve individual problems, but the result is often a fragmented technology stack held together by integrations and spreadsheets. This peer-driven discussion will explore the true cost of that complexity, the tradeoffs between best-of-breed and a unified platform, and how Finance leaders can simplify the stack without sacrificing the capabilities the business needs.

BWG Connect, Brex & NetSuite invite you to join us for an interactive discussion over drinks and dinner with your peers! We'll explore the latest trends in the space and get your questions answered.

As always, there will be no sales pitches and dinner is complimentary.

Seating is limited, and RSVP is required.

Discussion Topics

  • Where fragmentation across close, planning, reporting, and spreadsheets creates manual work, reconciliation, and inconsistent answers.
  • The real cost of point-solution sprawl — beyond license fees to integration, upgrades, support, specialized skills, technical debt, and staff time.
  • Unified platform versus best-of-breed — where standardization can improve speed, control, and consistency, and where specialized tools may still have a role.
  • Who should own the Finance technology roadmap — and how Finance and IT can align on priorities, governance, architecture, and simplification.
  • How to rationalize the stack — identifying what to retire, consolidate, or modernize based on business value rather than adding another tool.
