Overview of the webinar
This beginner-to-intermediate webinar explains how Claude AI can support common accounting and finance workflows without requiring attendees to have technical AI, coding, or advanced systems-integration knowledge. The session is designed for professionals who want to understand practical use cases, safe starting points, and responsible ways to use Claude in day-to-day finance work.
The webinar covers how Claude can assist with drafting management commentary, summarizing reports, preparing finance emails, organizing audit requests, reviewing policies, supporting reconciliations, creating tax document request lists, and turning financial information into clearer explanations for clients or internal stakeholders. Attendees will learn how to write better prompts, provide useful context, request structured outputs, and apply a simple review process before relying on any AI-assisted draft.
The session also addresses confidentiality, data protection, human review, and common AI risks in accounting and finance environments. Participants will learn how to choose low-risk first use cases, avoid uploading sensitive information into unapproved tools, check Claude’s outputs against source documents, and build repeatable habits that improve productivity while keeping professional judgment at the center of the workflow.

Why should you attend?
AI is becoming part of everyday accounting and finance work, but many professionals are still unsure where to begin, what is safe to use, and how to avoid over-relying on AI-generated answers. Claude can help with practical tasks such as drafting financial commentary, summarizing reports, preparing client communications, organizing audit requests, reviewing policies, and creating checklists - but it must be used with clear instructions, appropriate data boundaries, and professional review.
This session gives attendees a practical, accessible introduction to using Claude AI in accounting and finance workflows. Rather than focusing on technical systems integration or advanced finance theory, it shows realistic examples that professionals can understand and adapt: month-end summaries, variance commentary, Excel review support, reconciliation notes, audit preparation, tax document requests, and management reporting. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what Claude can help with, what it should not be trusted to do, and how to start using it responsibly.
