Finance Engineer Hackathon

Build what's next in finance. Finance is changing. And the people driving that change aren't necessarily engineers. They're CFOs, FP&A leads, controllers and treasury professionals who have started building their own tools, automating workflows and putting AI to work on real finance problems. On 2 December, OpenAI, iBanFirst, Trame labs are bringing together 80 finance professionals and technical builders in Paris for an afternoon of building, experimenting and exchanging ideas. The challenge Your mission: rethink how finance teams manage and forecast cash flow. Working in teams of three, you'll tackle real-world finance scenarios using a dedicated sandbox combining banking, payment, FX and accounting data, connectors and AI models. From connecting fragmented data to automating reporting and building intelligent forecasting workflows, the goal is to create something that works, solves a real finance problem and has the potential to be used beyond the hackathon. You'll have access to the tools, data and guidance you need, with finance experts and technical coaches on hand throughout the sprint. What to expect Build, don't just listen. Build a scalable, auditable cash flow forecast and leave with a model you can reuse in your own company. Learn from your peers. You’ll work in teams of three, mixed across companies and backgrounds, so you learn from people who approach finance differently. Work with people who get it. Meet finance practitioners, AI-native CFOs and technical builders who are already pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Show what you've built. Demo your solution to a jury, get feedback and compete for prizes. Stay for the conversations. End the afternoon with an awards ceremony, drinks and plenty of time to connect.
