AI is becoming an increasingly important part of modern finance, but many organisations are still determining where AI for finance can deliver the greatest value and how to adopt it effectively.
From finance automation and month-end close automation to improved reporting and decision-making, finance leaders are exploring practical ways to transform core finance processes.
In our recent webinar, How Finance Teams Are Using AI to Transform the Month-End and Consolidation, we explored how finance leaders are approaching AI adoption in finance and the practical opportunities it presents. One of the most revealing moments came when attendees were asked: "How many people in your finance team used AI during your last month-end close?" Nearly half of attendees couldn't confidently answer the question.
Rather than highlighting a lack of awareness, this result reflects where many organisations are in their AI journey. As tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot become more accessible, adoption often begins organically, with individuals and teams experimenting with AI in finance before a wider strategy is established and anAI governance framework is implemented.
This raises important questions for finance leaders:
Understanding the current landscape is the first step towards successful AI adoption. The real opportunity lies not in implementing technology for its own sake, but in identifying practical use cases that reduce manual effort, streamline the financial close process, improve financial consolidation, and support better business decisions as part of a wider finance transformation strategy.
Watch the webinar on demand to hear the discussion, explore real-world examples, and discover how leading finance teams are using AI for month-end close, financial consolidation, and finance automation to improve productivity, strengthen governance, and transform the finance function.
Using a collaborative approach, we deliver value-driven solutions, harmonising people, process, data and technology.
