FTI: Dennis, congratulations on the launch of RevenueIQ. What gap in the market is BillingPlatform addressing with this AI-powered suite?
Dennis Wall : Today, when it comes to billing, many finance and accounting teams operate in silos using fragmented tools. Typically billing software handles transactional data while separate solutions are used for analytics, forecasting and automation to attempt to provide insight. However, this process is inefficient, slowing down decision making and making it hard for organizations to gain the insights they need to properly analyze, optimize and grow the business.
BillingPlatform’s RevenueIQ addresses this market gap by providing a single, seamlessly integrated solution that delivers on our promise of ‘One Platform, Infinite Possibilities.’ RevenueIQ is designed to transform how finance teams analyze, plan and operate businesses – all to boost productivity, automate operations and gain predictive insights that are tailored to their unique business needs. By combining embedded conversational AI and custom-trained AI models with the precision of billing data, RevenueIQ empowers finance professionals to make smarter decisions with faster outcomes and the ability to access fully connected financial intelligence.
FTI: BillingPlatform has been consistently ranked as a leader by Forrester, Gartner, and others. How do you maintain this competitive edge in such a rapidly evolving space?
Dennis Wall : The beauty of BillingPlatform, and the reason the product can adapt to the rapidly evolving market, is because of its inherent flexibility, allowing it to address the multiple and unique needs of our global customers. BillingPlatform is the only solution to support hybrid business models with a multi-product platform that can be easily tailored to a company’s needs, handling massive transaction volume securely at scale. The other major aspect to our competitive edge is how we foster a culture of innovation, which has always been a core strategic pillar for our business. BillingPlatform continuously invests in technology such as AI to optimize revenue generation through every stage of the customer lifecycle, powering growth through operational agility with a frictionless customer experience.
FTI: Billing data is often overlooked as a strategic asset. How does RevenueIQ unlock this data to deliver predictive and actionable insights for CFOs and finance leaders?
Dennis Wall : Billing data encompasses transactions, customer interactions, operational processes and much more, making it the key to unlocking and understanding customer behavior, revenue performance and therefore, opportunities for growth. RevenueIQ can make sense of this data by embedding AI directly into our platform for predictive financial intelligence. It does this through the ability to surface deep, forward-looking insights using predictive analytics, helping finance leaders forecast key metrics like cash flow, collections, revenue and churn while automating proactive actions. As a result, finance teams can get a more accurate view of the business, helping them to maintain a competitive edge.

FTI: BillingPlatform serves major enterprises like JP Morgan, Instacart, and DirecTV. From your perspective, what are the biggest financiaoperations challenges enterprises face today, and how does RevenueIQ address them?
Dennis Wall : Many companies have recently experienced financial challenges like high inflation, financial uncertainty, geopolitical events and shifting supply chains. Similarly, consumers have shifted buying habits from “want-based” to “need-based.” In response, many finance executives are to implement flexible software solutions to help automate and accelerate theirrevenue management processes. Enter RevenueIQ: which embeds AI across the revenue lifecycle, giving finance teams the flexibility, intelligence and automation they need to stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing market–all delivered through a single scalable
platform.
FTI: The Copilot and contextual AI capabilities sound transformative. Can you share an example of how a finance or accounting team might use these tools to change day- to-day operations?
Dennis Wall : Copilot empowers users to navigate the platform, generate reports and access help content using natural language via a chat interface, enabling conversational access to the platform for greater speed and productivity. For example, a user could ask “Show me outstanding receivables by customer” or “Where do I manage invoices?” and receive instant results, saving them significant time of manual searches. When time is money, this capability is a game changer for finance teams, freeing up their time to focus on more strategic activities for the business. CEO’s Startup Watch and Trends Alert

FTI: With AI Studio, customers can customize and train models tailored to their unique processes. How important is this flexibility in future-proofingAI adoption within finance?
Dennis Wall : AI Studio enables organizations to customize and train AI models tailored to their configuration, data and processes. Whether leveraging pre-trained models or creating new ones using internal and external data, this future-proofs a company’s AI investment while powering predictive analytics and anomaly detection. For example, finance teams can train AI to identify anomalies in invoice data to help avoid billing errors.
FTI: The market is buzzing with new AI entrants. What differentiates BillingPlatform’s approach to embedding AI from other fintech and enterprise software players?
Dennis Wall: Many fintech’s and other enterprise software players are treating AI as a last-minute, bolt-on solution, layering on generic AI tools that are not fully integrated, which only exacerbates the tool fragmentation problem for finance teams. What makes Billing Platform unique is that its AI capabilities are embedded directly within its platform, making it tailored and accessible across the entire revenue management lifecycle, enabling finance teams to make faster, smarter decisions with a greater degree of confidence.
FTI: Looking ahead, what’s your vision for AI in financial operations over the next 3–5
years, and how does BillingPlatform plan to shape that future?
Dennis Wall : Over the next 3–5 years, AI will rapidly transform financial operations by automating workflows, enabling real-time insights, and driving truly predictive and adaptive financial management. BillingPlatform is positioning itself as a key player through its AI-driven RevenueIQ suite, embedded deeply within its enterprise platform to empower finance teams with genuine intelligence, agility and efficiency. BillingPlatform’s roadmap demonstrates a vision where AI becomes a utility within financial operations—powering insight, automation, and control to help businesses monetize new revenue models, adapt to change and outpace their competition.
FTI: As a CEO leading a company through this transformative moment in finance and AI, what leadership lesson stands out to you most?
Dennis Wall : Above all, the most crucial leadership lesson for navigating today’s AI-driven financial transformation is to decisively embed AI within the company’s long-term strategy while fostering an adaptable, learning-focused culture. Leading through this shift means going beyond incremental pilot projects and actively shaping how AI redefines business models, workflows and talent development across the entire organization.
FTI: What are your predictions for the year 2026? What advice would you offer to the CEOs in the Fintech space?
Dennis Wall : In 2026, the fintech sector will accelerate its transformation with AI-driven automation, embedded financial services, adaptive insights and hyper-personalized customer experiences at the forefront. CEOs should expect more dynamic competition, complex regulatory demands, and intense pressure to innovate balancing speed, trust and compliance. Overall, fintech CEOs in 2026 should anchor strategy around adaptability, transparency and ecosystem thinking, using disruptive AI and embedded finance capabilities responsibly to drive sustained growth.
