At the recent AICPA AI in Accounting and Finance Symposium, experts made one thing clear. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future trend. It is reshaping how finance teams plan, forecast, and make decisions today.
According to Gartner, 58% of finance teams were already using AI in 2024. That number is expected to grow significantly by 2028 as more teams adopt AI for scenario planning and real-time analytics.
The benefits are clear.
Smarter forecasting and scenario planning. AI makes it easier to model multiple economic and operational scenarios.
Better risk management. Intelligent anomaly detection reduces surprises before they impact results.
Process automation. Routine tasks like cash flow analysis and budget consolidation become faster, freeing CFOs for strategic work.
Challenges remain. Only 36% of AI projects succeed, often due to poor integration or lack of training. Building the right foundation is critical.
What should finance leaders do now?
Automate repetitive workflows to improve efficiency.
Establish governance frameworks to build trust in AI decisions.
Invest in team training to ensure adoption and avoid rework.
