Course Description
Welcome to Claude AI for Finance.
Want to use AI as a practical co-pilot to automate workflows, improve forecasts, and support better decisions—without becoming a data scientist? This course is built for finance professionals who want results fast.
You’ll learn how to turn everyday finance inputs into clean, usable outputs: invoices and receipts that extract themselves, PDFs that become structured Excel logs, and month-end narratives drafted in seconds. Then we’ll take it further with forecasting that “explains itself”: rolling 12-month cash views, best/base/worst scenarios, and simple what-if sliders to test pricing, volume, FX, and inflation assumptions.
Everything stays safe and audit-ready. You’ll apply privacy-first practices, clear controls, and evidence trails—so your work is transparent, reviewable, and never a “black box.”
By the end, you’ll be able to:
Automate document processing and recurring reporting workflows
Generate CFO-ready commentary, KPI summaries, and executive updates
Build rolling forecasts with variance alerts when reality drifts from plan
Spot working-capital opportunities and improve budgeting decisions
Communicate insights with stakeholder-ready visuals and clear narratives
Low/no-code tools, short labs, and reusable templates will help you ship value quickly.
If you’re ready to trade busywork for impact, hit Start—and put Claude to work for your finance team today.

I tried my best to stay focused, but it was difficult to adapt to the facilitators accent - he was knowledgeable and delivered the content with confidence. It was just really diificult to follow the visual whilst reading the captions.

The trainer demonstrated strong subject‑matter expertise in applying AI tools, particularly Claude AI, to practical finance and FP&A use cases.
