Name: AI Costs Decoded: What Finance Teams Need to Know About LLM Spend
Start: 2026-06-11T02:00:00.000Z
Location: Tapster Bellevue

If your company is shipping AI-powered products, someone on your finance team is staring at a growing line item they don't fully understand. This session is for them.
We'll break down how AI costs actually work — tokens, models, pricing tiers across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — in plain language that finance professionals can use. No ML background required.

Then we'll get practical:

**What we'll cover:**

* What tokens are, how they're priced, and why your bill looks the way it does
* The COGS vs. overhead distinction — why the AI powering your customer service bot hits the P&L differently than the chat your PM had about the product roadmap
* How to classify and track AI costs so they show up in the right place on your financials
* Instrumentation basics for the big three providers — practical steps you can take back to your team on Monday

**Format:**

\~25 minutes of presentation, followed by a roundtable discussion where we dig into the specific challenges people are facing. Bring your questions, your frustrations, and your war stories.

**Who this is for:**

Finance, FP&A, accounting, and ops leaders at companies building or deploying AI. If you're the person who has to explain the AI line item to the CFO, this is your room.

**The vibe:**

Professional but not stuffy. We're at a bar. You'll learn something useful and meet other people solving the same problem.
