What Changes in Your Finance Team

Inside the member research

A result you can explain.
A next step you can defend.

The board asks what AI has delivered. Faster drafting is only part of the answer. What happened to review effort, quality and spending?

The member note How to Show What AI Changed in FP&A shows how to build a credible update, with a complete example and the reasoning behind it.

Use the structure for your next reporting cycle. Replace the example with your evidence, identify the unknowns and make the next decision explicit.

Example · monthly management pack

What changed after AI?

Same eight business units, data cutoff and review standard. Effort includes review, corrections and operating support.

Total effort: 42 → 32 staff hours
−10h
Used for scenario analysis; 4 hours not yet reassigned
6h
Cash savings. First-cycle additional cash cost: $680
$0

The recommendation: run another comparable cycle before committing to recurring benefits. Time released is valuable; it becomes a cash saving only when spending falls.

Example board update

Example board update — AI-assisted monthly management pack

Across the same eight business units, data cutoff and review standard, the pack required 42 staff hours before the change and 32 in the test cycle, including review, corrections and operating support. It was approved one business day earlier. One material correction was found in each cycle under the same review method; that alone does not establish unchanged underlying accuracy.

Ten hours became available. Six were used for a previously deferred scenario analysis; four have no recorded reassignment yet. Payroll and supplier spending did not fall. The additional tool cost was $180 for the cycle. Setup used six staff hours and $500 of external configuration, making first-cycle incremental cash outlay $680.

Next decision: run another comparable cycle before making a recurring benefit commitment. The FP&A lead owns the effort record, the reviewer confirms corrections and the review method, and the budget owner confirms charges and any spending change.

Sample from the member practice

Would you approve this AI comparison?

You need 8,000 units. A supplier quotes $52 per box of 50, delivery included, with a minimum order of 10,000 units. The assistant reports a purchase cost of $8,320.

Check the source terms. What would you change before using that figure?

Practice the decision before you make it.

The full resource includes finance and procurement cases, source inputs, prompts to use with an assistant, corrected answers and a practice record. Compare your reasoning, identify what remains unknown and record what you will check on the next real task.

Feedback is a supplied answer and explanation you reveal yourself. It is not a personal review by an adviser. Use the public research example above to try the approach; membership adds the full collection and repeatable practice.

Come back with the next decision.

Use the collection across the work you already do. Return to the investment example when a project or constraint changes, the forecast practice before your next submission, and the AI value note when you report the next cycle.

Keep your completed records in the documents your team uses. The exercises are self-guided; Individual does not include a personal review of your work or a connected company workspace.

Inside Individual Pro

Your systems. Your constraints. The decision in front of you.

Pro is intended to bring M. Pact guidance together with the facts you supply about your business. Enrollment is not open yet.

    Your role, the systems you already own, the priority you need to address and the budget or capacity that constrains it.

  2. 2. Work through a real question

    Use relevant M. Pact guidance to examine your options, make missing evidence visible and develop the next action.

  3. 3. Return when the facts change

    Update the context you supply and revisit the decision. A confirmed license cost or a change in capacity can change the answer.

Is personal advisory included?

Individual is a resource membership. Pro adds an agreed personal environment. One-to-one advisory, diagnostics and strategy reviews are scoped separately.

What gets updated?

M. Pact maintains its research and guidance. Your organization's facts are separate: the approach to keeping that context current is agreed when an environment is scoped.
