More about this AI for Financial Planning & Analysis course Finance professionals are under more pressure than ever before. Teams are shrinking, reporting cycles are accelerating, and leadership expects faster, more strategic insight from fewer people. AI is rapidly transforming how financial analysis, forecasting, reporting, and scenario modeling are done, but most finance professionals were never trained to use these tools safely inside corporate environments.
This 5-week program teaches learners how to use generative AI, automation, and modern analytics tools to accelerate core finance workflows, including variance analysis, financial reporting, budget forecasting, and executive summaries. Learners apply AI to their actual work from Week 1, starting with a Corporate AI Policy Navigator that ensures every tool and technique meets compliance and audit requirements.
By the end, learners leave with automated reporting workflows, AI-assisted forecasting models, and the confidence to implement AI across their finance function with no coding required. They earn a university-branded certificate signaling AI fluency in one of the most credential-sensitive professions in the market. About you You bring at least 7 years of FP&A experience, with at least 2 years of experience using AI for reporting, analysis, forecasting, or modeling.
