"We joined one of three roundtable debates, moderated by Richard Hattersley, sponsored by Modulr on the topic “Scaling payments automation”.

I loved the conversations and the viewpoints from other practitioners."

Embedding acquisitions, standardising disparate digital processes, and maintaining a single source of truth across a growing group.

Mid-tier firms caught between practitioner tools and enterprise scale.

Firm-wide AI strategy

Moving beyond individual tools to a coherent, firm-wide approach; separating marketing hype from real-world utility.

Six themes of transformation. One lens: growth, scale and leadership.

FAB 2027 runs six themes across the whole show. Here's the specific angle each one takes for managing partners, practice directors and advisory leaders.

Strategy, not experiments.

A defensible AI business case — not another pilot.

Compliance that scales with the firm.

MTD, e-invoicing and ID verification without adding another layer of operational complexity.

Protect margin as the business model changes.

Move beyond selling hours to better reflect your expertise, advice and the value you bring to clients.

Build the talent model AI can't replace.

Rethink development, progression and leadership as automation removes the junior work people traditionally learned from.

Lead growth without losing the firm.

M&A integration and standardising the stack.

Build a tech stack that survives growth.

What to build, buy, integrate or replace, without creating another layer of disconnected technology.

AI strategy, not more experiments.

The gap isn't tools, it's strategy. Most firms have no clear, firm-wide plan for AI; our sessions builds helps you build one, and confronts the governance questions most are avoiding.

  • Separating marketing hype from real-world utility.
  • A defensible business case, not another "big bang" pilot.
  • Verifying ROI yourself, rather than trusting the vendor pitch.
  • Client-data security & AI governance, most SMEs still have none.
