Financial Forecasting in the Age of AI

Today, accurate financial forecasting is of utmost importance to protect your bottom line and remain proactive amidst economic volatility. Finance teams that can harness vast data sets to drive intelligent forecasts boast stronger margins and higher productivity compared to their lagging peers. Forecasting has undergone an impressive evolution, first relying purely on historical transactional data and human intuition to anticipate future revenues and costs. Over time, basic statistical modeling became nearly ubiquitous, with software like Hyperion and even Excel offering such capabilities.
