AI saved you two hours this week. Where did they go? If your AI tools are working, why are you still at your desk at 8pm? What would your FP&A team do with an hour nobody else gets to claim? HIGHLIGHTS OF EPISODE AI tools save finance pros real time every week, and the research backs it up. The catch comes after. About a third of those saved hours get refilled with more work, so the time never makes it home. Mike uses AI so his team spends the day on the thinking and still leaves on time, and he wants every CFO and FP&A lead listening to decide what a saved hour is for before somebody else decides it for them.
