What you’ll learn

Future-proof your finance career by mastering AI tools, predictive modeling, and autonomous agents that handle real finance workflows.

  • Install Claude Cowork, connect a folder of your own files, and get a finished report in your first live session.

  • Build reusable Skills and Plugins so your agent runs your process the exact same way every week, without being re-explained.

  • Know when to use Claude Cowork, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex or Microsoft Copilot Agent Mode, and when a simple template is enough.

  • Build predictive models and apply simulation and optimization to assess risk and guide financial decisions.

  • Develop and integrate generative AI solutions while evaluating their accuracy, reliability, bias, and business value.

  • Use AI tools to analyze data, automate workflows, and streamline financial research.

  • Hand the agent your company template and get slides, memos and PDFs back in your own fonts, colours, logo and house style.

  • Build a full board pack from a raw close file: KPI summary, variance commentary, charts, and the finished deck itself.

  • Same workflow for marketing and sales: a monthly campaign review deck or a client proposal, written and formatted for you.

  • Build three-statement models, DCFs and budget-vs-actual workbooks by describing what you want in plain English.

  • Use ready-made investment banking and financial analysis plugins for valuation, comps, ratio analysis and credit reviews.

  • Have the agent audit its own model, flag hard-coded values and broken links, and explain every assumption it used in writing.

  • Build revenue, cash flow, budget and pipeline forecasts from your own history, and see the scenarios side by side.

  • Score credit risk, spot fraud, categorize transactions and rank leads across thousands of rows in a few minutes.

  • Test whether the forecast is any good before you send it, with accuracy checks you can defend to a CFO or an auditor.

  • Build and deploy one full workflow you own, from raw files all the way to the finished deliverable in your inbox.

  • Demo it live to your cohort and get direct feedback from Dr. Ryan Ahmed, Kukesh Kodess and the teaching team.

  • Leave with 8+ working agents, a portfolio you can show an employer, and your AI Agents for Business certification.
