93% of mid-market companies are now investing in AI. Early adopters are reporting an average 35% ROI. And yet, most finance functions are still stuck in pilot mode, unsure whether they’re ahead of the curve or quietly falling behind.

This report changes that.

Compiled from research by Gartner, Deloitte, Citizens Bank, L.E.K. Consulting, and others, The State of AI in Mid-Market Finance gives you the data, benchmarks, and strategic clarity to understand exactly where your finance function stands, and what to do next.

WHAT THE REPORT COVERS:

• Where mid-market CFOs are investing in AI right now, and which use cases are actually delivering returns
• The real ROI numbers, including payback periods, efficiency gains, and what a top-quartile implementation looks like
• The three barriers that are slowing most finance functions down (and it’s not budget)
• The perception gap that’s quietly undermining AI programmes from the inside
• What the highest-performing adopters are doing differently
• Three practical priorities for 2026 that you can act on immediately
