Synopsis

The org chart had eleven names on it. Eighteen months later, it had one.

Everyone is asking whether AI will replace finance jobs.

Almost nobody is asking what actually happens after it does.

Over eighteen months, a CEO systematically rebuilt corporate finance using AI agents: replacing analysts, FP&A workflows, executive support, accounting processes, financial advisory work, and large portions of the traditional finance operating model.

The spreadsheets said the decision made financial sense.

Reality was far more complicated.

FIRE THEM ALL is not another AI hype book or another prediction about the future of work. It is a detailed operational account of what can already be automated, what still requires human judgment, what executives consistently underestimate, and the hidden costs that rarely appear in board presentations.

Drawing on more than thirteen years in Big Four transaction advisory, quality of earnings, financial due diligence, corporate finance, FP&A, and CFO leadership, Casper Zhao explains how modern AI agent systems are changing finance from the inside out.
