Opening Keynote

NETGAIN ACCOUNTING SUMMIT 2026

Doing More With Less:

How AI is Reshaping the Future of Accounting

AI is rapidly reshaping how accounting and operations teams across all industries work by changing not just what gets done, but how teams scale without adding complexity or headcount. In this keynote, Nathan Smart or Adam Riches, co-founder of Netgain, will explore how organizations can responsibly lean into AI to eliminate manual effort, surface insights faster, and operate with greater confidence, even as demands on accounting teams continue to grow.


This session will highlight the importance of pairing AI with trusted, centralized financial data. When AI operates directly inside NetSuite, rather than on top of disconnected systems, teams gain reliable answers, cleaner reporting, and fewer downstream errors. By treating NetSuite as the single source of truth for financial data, accounting and operations leaders can unlock AI’s full potential with turning real-time data into real-world decisions without sacrificing accuracy or
control.

Participants will be able to:

  • What “doing less with more” really means for modern accounting and operations teams
  • Why AI is most effective when connected to your core financial system, not siloed data
  • How NetSuite as a single source of truth enables accurate, trustworthy AI insights
  • Reducing manual work while increasing confidence in reporting and
    analysis
  • How NetSuite’s AI Connector can help teams move faster without
    introducing risk or guesswork
