Excel at AI in Finance | CFO, FP&A, AI Tools, Claude, Microsoft Copilot8 Sep

AI Tools Are Automating Excel. You Have to Be Technical with AI in Finance to Survive.

What breaks if you took two weeks off right now? How many times has someone come to you before making a decision, instead of just running the numbers themselves? Can you explain what AI actually did for you to someone who'd push back on it?

Excel was the bottleneck for twenty-five years, and standing in it was the whole job. AI tools now do what used to earn a promotion, which means the exports, the cleanup, the deck nobody wanted to rebuild every month, the part FP&A got rewarded for owning, is finished, and what's left is a choice between going technical, staying close to the business, or using AI to cover the technical so you can do both. Bill never touched a mouse.
