About this Event
The Problem
Finance teams are under relentless pressure. Costs need to come down. Compliance is tightening. Audit scrutiny is sharper than ever. And finance is expected to do more with less.
You know AI can help. You have access to tools like Claude. But moving from access to real impact remains unclear. And the obstacles are real:
Data Problems
Your data isn't ready. It's siloed across systems, inconsistent, incomplete. Security concerns loom. And getting AI to produce deterministic, reliable output from messy data feels impossible.
The AI Trust Problem
Generic outputs don't cut it. Your CFO wants to know: Why did it produce this answer? How can I validate it? Where's the audit trail? Can I trust the calculations? Finance demands transparency and determinism. Generic AI doesn't deliver.
The Month-End Crisis
Every close is a crisis. Every forecast is rebuilt from scratch. Every reporting pack starts with a blank page. You're drowning in manual work when you should be analysing, advising, and driving decisions.
The Starting Problem
Your team has skill gaps. There's no time to explore. The tools feel complex. Where do you even start? How do you avoid expensive mistakes?
What You'll Discover
Getting real results from Claude requires more than access. This working breakfast explores the essential building blocks finance leaders need to understand and implement. Whether you work alone or with support, these are the critical steps to move from Claude access to measurable impact:
1. Learning Claude
You must understand Claude deeply. How it works, what it’s genuinely good at, and where it has real limitations. Which finance use cases benefit most. When Claude adds value versus when other tools are better. This foundation shapes every decision that follows.
2. Building Skills, Plugins, and Projects
Generic Claude is not enough. You must build custom skills tailored to your finance operations. Create plugins to integrate with your existing systems. Structure projects for repeatable use. This is where Claude transforms from a general tool into a finance-specific partner.
3. Setting Up Claude
Proper setup matters. Workspace configuration. Access controls and security. Team onboarding and enablement. Documentation and standards. A well-set-up Claude deployment means your team is productive and secure from day one, not struggling with basics.
4. Building Rich Context (30-Day Acceleration)
This is the critical differentiator. You must build deep, structured context so Claude understands your business, finance processes, regulations, and unique requirements. Over 30 days, gather, document, and optimise your organisational knowledge in Claude. By day 30, Claude is not generic—it’s specific to your CFO function and finance operations.
5. Ongoing Support and Evolution
Claude doesn’t stop evolving. New capabilities arrive. Your finance function grows. Your context needs refreshing. Your skills require updates. Ongoing support matters—staying current with Claude’s development, evolving your skills, and continuously improving your setup is essential for sustained impact.
