Get beyond the variance
Bring approved results and business commentary together into a draft for your reporting review. Include references and open questions, so your team can check the explanation as well as the figures.
AI for Finance Teams
More time for
the analysis.
We help finance teams choose and set up AI tools for reporting, planning and review. That can mean gathering context, preparing commentary or bringing together the material for a decision, with practical training on your team's own work.
Where AI could help
From reporting
to the next decision.
Challenge the assumptions behind the forecast
Before the next forecast review, compare assumptions with earlier versions and current business updates. Pick out inconsistencies and prepare questions before your team reruns or approves the model.
Prepare finance's view of a decision
When weighing an investment, hire or pricing change, bring approved analysis, scenario outputs and business context together. Prepare a draft comparison of the options, assumptions and questions still to resolve.
Make the close easier to review
Organise supporting documents against your close checklist, flag missing material and draft requests for explanations. Your team reviews the open items and retains responsibility for sign-off.
Make finance knowledge easier to use
Set up an assistant to help colleagues find reporting definitions, finance policies and process guidance in selected company documents. Include source references and flag questions the selected documents do not answer.
Working with Arial
Start with one piece
of finance work.
We look at a task, the information it uses and the tools already available to your team. Together, we choose a useful starting point and agree what a good result would look like, including how it will be checked.
Set up the right tools
We help select and configure suitable AI tools for the task. That might mean enabling a feature in software you already use or setting up an assistant with selected finance documents. We agree what information it can use, who can access it and where your team reviews the output.
Train on your own work
We work through reporting, planning or review tasks with your team. You learn how to give useful instructions, check the results and recognise when an answer needs more context. We adjust the setup based on what happens in practice.
A setup your team can use
You receive the agreed setup, working examples and practical guidance for using and reviewing it. We make ownership clear and agree any further support separately.
If the task needs connections between tools or a custom workflow, we scope that work with you before any build.
Start a conversation
Bring a recurring report, a planning task or a question your team keeps coming back to. We'll look at the work and your current tools, then agree what would be useful to try first.
