AI didn't replace finance. It rewrote it. And the gap between finance pros who use it daily and those who don't is widening every month.Every CFO is asking what their team is doing with AI. Every job description is starting to list "AI fluency" as a requirement. Every generic AI course teaches you concepts you can't apply on Monday morning. The result: most finance pros know they need to use AI, but nobody has shown them how for the work they actually do, in the tool they already live in.That's the gap this course closes.Across four 90-minute sessions, You'll use all three major AI tools Chat GPT, Claude, and Microsoft Co-pilot side-by-side on real finance work. Cleaning trial balances. Extracting data from PDFs. Building variance reports and reconciliations. Generating commentary in your voice. By Session 4, you'll have assembled a complete AI-enhanced finance workflow and a personal prompt library of 50+ tested prompts you can use Monday morning.This isn't another "AI" course. It's the practical, Excel-native, finance-specific AI training that should already exist but doesn't.

Every CFO expects AI fluency. Nobody's teaching finance pros how to do it.
