CFO-taught Claude AI Training and Enablement for finance teams.

We make SME finance teams productive with Claude AI. The mechanical work goes to Claude. The rigour our profession depends on stays.

Taught by practising CFOs 1,000+ hours of Claude on real client work Teams trained across the UK, Europe, UAE and wider GCC
In partnership with CompassPoint Consulting
The problem

There is a faster way to do finance work today. SME teams have no safe way to learn it.

Mechanical finance work can now be done in a fraction of the time, to the same standard. Every month a team does not learn how, it pays for hours it no longer needs to spend.
Large groups contract directly with the AI companies. SMEs get hype from one side, fear from the other, and no affordable way in.
Nobody shows finance teams what is genuinely possible on their own work, without putting the numbers at risk.
Cost control is not fewer people. It is the same team producing more, in less time, to the standard they already sign.
That gap is what we close. We teach your team the method, on your own work, with a practising CFO in the room.
What we do
For businesses · Half day or one day

Claude Workshops for Finance

Two options, both led by a practising CFO, on work that looks like yours.

  • The CFO Briefing. Half a day. Your senior team sees Claude do the work, from ledger to board paper, and knows the real possibilities without the hype.
  • The CFO Build Day. One day. Your team builds two working Claude agents on real finance work.
  • Verifiable CPD on both, and a written brief they keep
£1,499 or £4,299 + VAT. Taught by a working CFO, not a trainer.

For businesses · A few hours a week

Claude AI Enablement

Not a course run alongside the day job. The day job as the material, over a few months.

  • A 90-minute discovery first, at no charge, then a written plan around the work taking your hours
  • Your own Claude workspace, with governance you approve
  • The knowledge sitting in a few heads written down, built into agents the whole team uses
A team that produces more, without more people.

For individuals · 4 live sessions

The Claude Finance Playbook

A live, hands-on course for finance professionals. Four sessions, limited seats.

  • Build models, forecasts and consolidations with Claude, on a realistic dataset
  • Produce a board pack you would put your name to, and the review discipline behind it
  • Set Claude up properly: prompting, projects, skills, and the ground rules for finance data
To a standard you would put your name to.

The Method

You cannot install intelligence. You onboard it like a colleague.

Four things, in this order. Every team we train leaves able to do all four without us in the room.

01

Decide what moves

The mechanical work goes to AI. The judgement stays with you.

02

Brief it properly

What it is for, who reads it, what decision hangs on it.

03

Review it like a junior

The capability of someone senior with the accountability of the most junior.

04

Capture every correction

Keep training it. That is the investment you will see a return on.

The standard

Everyone who teaches here signs the work.

Every AIFC trainer is a practising CFO or fractional CFO. They build models, forecasts, consolidations and board packs with Claude every week, and that work goes to clients and boards under their own name. Nobody teaches a workflow here they do not run themselves.

The method was worked out where being wrong had consequences.

What people say
An excellent presenter and great material. Perfect if you have not used Claude before, and I still learned new things to try out. Definitely worth attending, and great to meet more peers.
CH Charlotte Hartley SmithCFO, Smart Salem
He explained the concepts clearly and demonstrated how Claude can be effectively used in professional work.
BA Bisma AamerFinance Manager, Rellius Insurance Brokers
In one week: 13+ entities, thousands of trial balance rows, almost 20 reconciliation cycles, and zero imbalances. Training with Zain has become an ongoing way of working.
AE Ashhad EmaduddinKORE Consulting
Methodical and well-structured, with deep expertise in applying Claude to real-world financial scenarios.
MM Muhammad Majid Mahmood, ACCAFinance Specialist, multinational manufacturing group
A really useful session. I had been using Claude for a while, but the workshop showed me better ways to use it in my daily finance work, and features I had not properly explored.
AM Abdul MujeebFinancial Controller, UAE
Practical, on how Claude actually fits into finance workflows. Prompts, projects and skills, in a way that made sense. Tangible rather than theoretical, and I came away with ideas I want to try this week.
AS Ahsan SharifLead Financial Analyst, UK public sector
I have used ChatGPT for a long time, but seeing Claude on finance and data genuinely impressed me. Repetitive, time-consuming tasks done far more efficiently, with much less manual effort.
UI Umar IrfanAssistant Manager, Accounting Bookkeepers
Honestly, it made me wonder what we have been doing all these years. Work we did manually can now be done in minutes. This changed how I approach my work.
IB Ibrahim Bin SalamFinance Manager, Geocon Constructions
It is surprising we are not taught this in our finance education. The fundamentals will always matter, but learning to use AI effectively should be part of the curriculum.
RT Raamis TahirVAT Associate, Silverstone Accountants
