The AI playbook for finance pros who want their nights back.

The finance job is getting bigger every quarter. The day isn't getting any longer. Every week there's a new tool, a new LinkedIn post about someone who automated their entire close, a new AI conversation happening around you.

If you're the finance pro trying to keep up without giving up your evenings, your weekends, or the life you have outside the work, this show is built for you.

Excel at AI in Finance is a weekly podcast for corporate finance pros learning AI without the hype. Each week you get one thing you can take into your finance job right away:

• A workflow you can rebuild on Monday
• A frame for handling AI when your CFO asks
• An honest read on the trend everyone's talking about
• A conversation with someone who's already done the thing

Every episode opens with a real story from Mike's desk or a finance pro he's worked with. Not a hypothetical. Then a breakdown of what actually works. And an honest counterpoint at the close, because the AI advice you're hearing everywhere else has almost never touched a real finance function.

The rule: if a workflow only ships in a vendor demo, it doesn't ship on the show.

Because the finance pros who learn AI don't just keep their jobs. They become the ones their company can't afford to lose.

New episodes every Tuesday.
