AI budgets are going up again next year. The hard part for finance leaders and AI champions is explaining what the last round returned.
We surveyed 250+ enterprise CFOs and finance leaders on how they’re handling it.
We’ll walk through the findings, including:
- You’re not the only one who can’t yet justify the number. 61% say they spend more on AI than they can connect to results. 87% are raising FY2027 budgets anyway.
- Your board will ask harder questions this year. 7 in 10 now tie AI funding to measurable return.
- Most finance teams still can’t see AI cost by product or customer. Only 12% can. 74% say that view would change specific FY2027 investment decisions.
CloudZero, The AI ROI Company, builds the software that shows companies what AI actually costs, by product, customer, and feature, so finance can plan, fund, and defend AI spend with real numbers. That 12% is the gap we close for our customers.
Leave with peer benchmarks and a case your board will accept.
