Trintech Appoints David Taylor as Chief Product Officer to Accelerate AI Leadership in Financial Close

Dallas, Oct. 1, 2025 - Trintech, a leader in AI Financial Close solutions, has named David Taylor as Chief Product Officer. Taylor will lead the company's AI-first product strategy and vision, working closely with customers, partners, product management, and engineering to deliver intelligent automation, predictive insights, and streamlined user experiences across the financial close.

Why this matters for finance and product leaders

Close cycles are still too manual, error-prone, and slow. Trintech's move signals a clear focus: ship AI features that cut low-value work, surface risks earlier, and give CFOs and controllers higher confidence in reported numbers. The appointment raises the bar for measurable outcomes in the close - shorter cycle times, fewer manual reconciliations, and stronger governance.

What David Taylor brings

Taylor has more than 25 years of experience across public, private equity, and venture-backed technology companies. He has served as Chief Innovation Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, and Chief Product Officer, consistently applying AI and modern product practices to scale enterprise SaaS. As a qualified accountant, he blends finance depth with product leadership - a useful combination for shipping capabilities that actually move core metrics in the Office of Finance.

Product priorities under an AI-first strategy

Intelligent automation that removes repetitive tasks across reconciliations, reviews, and certifications.
Predictive insights that highlight material risks, anomalies, and bottlenecks before they impact the close.
Seamless user experiences that simplify workflows for controllers, accountants, and review teams.
Close collaboration with customers and partners to validate use cases and speed delivery.

Expected impact for the Office of Finance

Faster, more consistent close cycles with clear audit trails.
Reduced manual effort and rework through AI-driven suggestions and auto-matching.
Earlier visibility into risks and variances to protect accuracy.
Greater confidence in period-end results and the decisions that follow.

What to watch next

Time-to-value: how quickly new AI features translate into hours saved and issues prevented.
