There's a line where AI stops helping finance

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

How far can you actually take AI in finance?

I've spent hundreds of hours finding out on real dashboards, real closes, and real AP and AR work.

​On August 5th I'm going live to give you the answer, so you skip the testing and go straight to what works.

Because the real skill with AI is knowing how far to take it.

Hand it the right task and it does in minutes what used to eat an afternoon.

Push it one step too far and you spend your week checking its work instead of doing yours.

And finding that limit on your own takes exactly the kind of hours you were hoping AI would give back.

So I'm handing you what I found instead.

I'll walk you through exactly what I asked AI to do, what came back, and where the limits showed up.

Here's what we'll cover:

  • The real examples: AI on dashboards, variance analysis, the month end close, and AP and AR
  • How far AI can go in each area before the results stop being trustworthy
  • What a realistic outcome looks like, so you know what to expect before you invest an hour
  • Where to start if your team hasn't touched AI yet
  • The work that should stay yours, no matter how good the tools get

It's free, it runs about an hour, and the replay goes out to everyone who registers.

August 5th at 1:00 PM Eastern.

Would love to see you there.

Read Online Here Hey Reader, Here's what my reporting used to look like. An ugly profit and loss. Rows of accounts and nothing else. So I built three dashboards on top of it. A KPI view, a comparison against prior period and prior year, and a summary view that lets me flip between months, quarters, and years. They looked great. And then next month rolled around… New export, new accounts that weren't there in July, and me relinking every dashboard while my coffee went cold next to me. One to...

Read Online The Tool You Need for Meeting Notes You Can Act On SPONSORED BY WISPR FLOW NOTETAKER If you're still taking your own notes in meetings in 2026, you're working harder than you need to. But a lot of AI notetakers mishear the words that matter most in your business, so your follow-ups repeat the mistake. That's why I run my calls through Wispr Flow Notetaker. It pulls the attendee names from your calendar invite, so no more wall of Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. And it gets the technical...

Hey Reader, Get my top 14 dashboards and 6 modules, free. They arrive already filled in with your own company's numbers. All of it comes with my free masterclass on September 3rd. Let me tell you why I'm doing this. Almost every business I've worked with needs a proper financial model. Hardly any of them have one.
