BOTTOM LINE UPFRONT
Kyle Roemer, Accordion’s Head of Data & AI, joins the ParkerGale PE FunCast to walk through how AI adoption inside PE-backed portfolio companies evolved from 2025 to today — and where companies are ahead or behind the curve.
Kyle Roemer, our Head of Data & AI, joined the ParkerGale PE FunCast to share what’s actually happening inside middle-market PE-backed companies – and what’s still hype.
Kyle walks host Devin Matthews through the last 18 months of AI adoption, function by function: what was working in early 2025, what February 2026 changed overnight, and where portfolio companies are ahead or behind the curve today across engineering, finance, and go-to-market.
One prediction he’s willing to bet on: the Office of the CFO is on the verge of its biggest transformation in a generation. The tools are finally there. The workflows are getting rebuilt. And for the first time in a long time, there’s a real case for making finance fun again.
