Overview:
This practical, demo-driven session walks finance professionals through real applications of AI across the finance function.
You'll see how to automate routine tasks like account reconciliations, journal entries, and variance commentary; how to build more accurate forecasts using AI-assisted models in Excel and Copilot; and how to optimize core finance processes from AR/AP to FP&A and management reporting. The webinar focuses on tools that finance teams already have access to (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and Excel) so attendees can apply what they learn immediately-no data-science background required.
Why you should Attend:
Finance functions that don’t adopt AI now will quickly fall behind those that do. Manual reconciliations, slow forecasting cycles, and reactive variance analysis are becoming competitive liabilities, and CFOs increasingly expect their teams to deliver AI-driven insights, not just historical reporting.
Attendees who can’t demonstrate practical AI fluency risk being passed over for promotions, advisory roles, and high-visibility projects in the months ahead.
