CFO AI Playbook

There's a lot of noise about AI in finance and very little signal. The CFO AI Playbook is my practical, tested collection of workflows, prompts, and frameworks for the finance work that actually benefits from AI today.

The challenge

Finance teams are curious about AI but unsure where it adds value without compromising accuracy, traceability, or audit-readiness — and where it simply doesn't belong.

The approach

Curated high-value use cases: variance-commentary drafting, reconciliation triage, and scenario prompting.

Built a reusable prompt library so 'what-if' analysis takes minutes instead of a model rebuild.

Codified guardrails — never cite a number a model can't trace, always keep a human in the loop for anything auditor- or board-facing.

Documented each workflow so a finance team can adopt it without deep technical setup.

The outcome

Routine drafting and triage tasks are compressed, freeing time for real analysis.
AI is applied where it's safe and valuable — and deliberately avoided where it isn't.
A repeatable framework any finance function can adopt with confidence.
