Working smarter and more strategically in finance with AI

Slimmer en strategischer werken in finance met AI
  • February 24, 2026

The role of the finance function within organisations has changed significantly in recent years. New technologies, economic uncertainty and rising stakeholder expectations demand a finance function that not only reports reliably but also thinks and plans strategically.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a crucial role in this shift. That’s why PwC’s Academy has developed a hands‑on learning programme that helps finance professionals not only understand AI but also apply it purposefully in their day‑to‑day work. 

The challenge: a profession in transition

Finance teams are under pressure to work more efficiently, improve their forecasts and deliver insights faster. At the same time, the volume and complexity of financial data keep growing. The question is no longer whether AI will affect your work, but how you can use this technology to strengthen your role and move from execution to advisory and analytical work. 

AI opens new possibilities for finance professionals. It can uncover patterns in massive datasets, automate routine tasks and generate insights that directly support better decision‑making. But to really capture these benefits, knowledge alone is not enough; you need to know how to implement AI effectively and responsibly in your own practice. 

The answer: a practice‑oriented training for finance

Our AI in Finance learning programme is specifically designed for professionals who want to broaden their expertise and prepare their organisation for the future. In this training, you will learn: 

  • how AI is transforming the finance function and which developments are relevant for your role. 
  • which concrete AI applications are already widely used, from forecasting and anomaly detection to Smart Close.
  • how to select, assess and strategically deploy AI tools in your daily activities. 
  • how to manage risks, safeguard governance and work responsibly with data and algorithms. 

The training is fully practice‑oriented and custom-made. Our trainers work daily with organisations across different sectors and bring in real‑life examples you will immediately recognise. You will work with hands‑on exercises and case studies that help you make AI directly applicable in your own working environment. 

Why this training genuinely adds value

Finance professionals who use AI skilfully work smarter and deliver more impact. They spot trends earlier, produce better‑substantiated analyses and automate repetitive tasks. This creates an agile finance function that is ready for the future. This training helps you take that step, whether you are a controller, financial specialist, accountant, adviser or data analyst. 

You gain not only knowledge, but above all the confidence to use AI in your daily work. You learn to work more efficiently and effectively, to bring colleagues along in change, and to add more strategic value to your organisation.
