Hello Reader 👋

Like many people, I'm right in the summer and enjoying some time off abroad in France and Spain before going to my real destination: Slovenia.

But I don't want to be completely disconnected from you during a full month, so I thought of sending this little update.

Especially because there is an event I don't want you to miss.

If you're serious about staying relevant in a world full of AI, you need to read this through.

So take a coffee, sit down, and read FP&A Stories just like 21k other readers.

This week in FP&A Stories

🏆 How to Become an AI CFO

🏆 How to Become an AI CFO

I usually keep this space for my own tips and stories.

But today, I want to talk about someone else.

👉 Nicolas Boucher
👉 AI for Finance
👉 And a webinar you probably don’t want to miss this summer

Nicolas is not only a LinkedIn name and my friend. He’s built one of the most active AI-for-Finance (the AI Finance Club) communities in the world: 800+ CFOs and finance leaders sharing what’s working: forecasting, dashboards to full automation.

And next Tuesday, he’s running a free masterclass called:

How to Become an AI CFO

📅 Tuesday, July 29
🕔 5:00 PM CET / 11:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM PT

What you’ll learn inside:

The AI tools top CFOs are using today and how they implement them fast
How to cut reporting time by 70% with automation
The #1 mistake most finance leaders make when they try to “start with AI”
Why Python + AI = 10x team productivity (no coding experience needed)
A clear roadmap to go from traditional finance to AI-empowered operations

He’s also sharing a bonus for attendees only.

Why am I sharing this?

Denying that AI will become a must in our job is simply suicidal.

If we still want to be relevant in the coming 10 to 15 years, we need to integrate this into our skillset.

But the difference between trying AI and leading with AI is becoming visible.

According to PwC:

36% of CFOs are already using AI for payables and receivables
35% use it for automation and pricing analysis
39% plan to use it soon for forecasting and external reporting

This isn’t future talk. It’s already happening.

And for many, this year is the turning point.

Last thing

If you're curious, even just a little: join.
One hour with a practitioner like Nicolas might save you ten trying to figure it out alone.
Whether you're just starting or already experimenting with AI, you’ll walk away with something useful.

P.S. I attended the webinar last month and even I learned a lot in that time.
If I were you, I’d block those 60 minutes now.
