The Analytics Gap in Finance

Most finance teams are drowning in data but starving for insights. Spreadsheets grow more complex, reports take longer to produce, yet strategic decisions still rely on gut feeling and outdated information.

Meanwhile, boards expect real-time dashboards, accurate forecasts, and forward-looking analysis. The gap between expectations and capabilities creates stress, long hours, and missed opportunities.

This course bridges that gap—teaching you how to leverage AI-powered analytics to deliver insights that actually drive decisions.
