72% of finance teams use AI in 2025 (learn how to implement in yours)


Hi Reader,

This year, the use of AI tools in finance teams jumped from 34% to 72% according to the Global Finance Trends Survey.

That's a huge transition compared to 2024, and the gap in 2026 is expected to increase even more.

But where is this huge implementation increase happening?

Automation (66%) and Forecasting (58%) are the main areas where AI is getting used by finance teams using AI… but you are probably wondering how?

This is why I am inviting you to my free masterclass to show you concrete use cases on how you can use AI to automate and forecast in an easy way.

Register for my free AI masterclass reserved only for CFOs, Fractional CFOs, and Finance Executives.

  • Are you not sure if it's right for your team?
  • Do you fear that it is not safe?
  • Or maybe you fear it's not accurate enough?

This is what CFOs and finance leaders usually ask me before they hire me to train them and their team.

That adoption gap is the opportunity, and I want to teach you how to close it on September 26th in "How to Become an AI CFO".


Why This Matters Right Now

That's why you need AI to help you with:
