Unlocking Finance Automation: Transforming Your Back Office Operations Together
On September 11th, 2026, a unique workshop focusing on finance automation will be held at the co-working space by favy in Shinjuku. The event, titled "Let's Copy Good Management," is organized by Kenji Araya, CEO of Sankou Bar, a business community space fostering conversation between entrepreneurs and creatives. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to learn about a real-world template that effectively reduced a finance team from seven to three members, shared by Takumi Takanashi, CEO of favy.
This workshop stands out because it prioritizes practical engagement, offering actual documents, procedures, and operational rules used in the automation of finance functions. The goal is to equip participants with actionable insights that can be implemented as soon as the next day. Instead of simply listening to lectures, attendees will delve into discussions where their specific business challenges can be addressed in real-time.
It’s not uncommon for business leaders to recognize the need for automating finance operations; however, the intricacies of implementing such changes can prove daunting. Many individuals leave seminars with little to no actionable items to apply in their organizations. The aim of this event is to bridge that gap by presenting tangible outputs from a successful finance automation model. Participants will discover which tasks were automated, the sequence of changes made, and who is responsible for approvals. Furthermore, insights into overcoming transitional hurdles will be shared without any theoretical abstraction.

His recent focus includes implementing generative AI into business practices, further showcasing his commitment to evolving business transformations.
