You Have the Most Powerful Financial Assistant in History. Why Are You Only Using It for Emails?

Your company likely gave you access to a secure 
AI environment. But if you’re like most finance pros, you’re staring at that blinking cursor wondering, 
"What do I actually ask this thing?"

The problem isn't the tool. It’s that nobody taught you how to translate complex FP&A requirements into prompts that work.

Worse, you’ve heard the horror stories of AI "hallucinations" and made-up numbers. Without a reliable framework to verify outputs, using AI for financial modeling feels like gambling. So you stick to the old way—manual, slow, and error-prone.

Turn General Purpose AI Into a Precision Finance Analyst.

We don't just show you 'cool tricks.' We give you a proven operating system for AI in Finance.

You will learn the exact 'Greg Brockman' prompting framework adapted specifically for Variance Analysis, Forecasting, Financial Modeling, and Reporting.

The Goal

We take you from "Zero" to "Power User" in 5 modules. You will leave with the ability to automate the manual work that drains your energy, giving you a massive competitive advantage over peers who are still ignoring this technology.
