Course Overview
Here is something most finance teams already know but rarely say out loud the manual processes eating up analyst time are not adding value. Reconciliations done by hand, invoice matching that runs on spreadsheets, forecasting models rebuilt from scratch every quarter. These are not signs of a rigorous team. They are signs of a team that has not yet had the tools or the training to work differently.
AI in accounting changes that calculation entirely. Not by replacing accountants that framing misses the point entirely but by handling the low-judgment, high-volume work that currently absorbs time that should be going elsewhere. The professionals who understand how to direct that shift are the ones whose careers look different in five years from the ones who waited to see what happened.
This artificial intelligence in accounting course runs across two practical days. Day 1 covers the fundamentals what artificial intelligence in accounting actually does, which AI tools for accounting are worth understanding, and hands-on automation work across data entry, invoice matching, bank reconciliation, and accounts payable automation. Day 2 moves into the applications that require more judgment AI for financial forecasting, AI in financial reporting, predictive analytics, and how to integrate AI into existing systems without creating new problems in the process.
Every session includes real accounting scenarios. Participants do not sit and watch demonstrations they work through the exercises themselves, which is the only way any of this actually sticks. The program sits within the GI Intelligence training portfolio alongside top certificate programs in finance, governance, and professional development built for accounting professionals who have work to do on Monday morning.

- Outline
Course Outline
Day 1: AI Fundamentals, Automation & Accounting Applications
- There is a version of AI awareness training that spends most of its time on definitions and ends without participants having touched anything. This is not that. Day 1 gets into the tools quickly what AI tools for accounting are actually available, what they do reliably, and where they produce outputs that still need a qualified accountant to review before anything gets signed off.
- Hands-on automation work runs throughout the day. Data entry automation, invoice matching, bank reconciliation, and accounts payable automation are all worked through using real accounting scenarios rather than cleaned-up examples that bear no resemblance to what participants deal with at work.
- The day closes on AI ethics and data privacy not as a legal disclaimer but as a genuine professional responsibility that shapes which tools get selected, how they get implemented, and what controls need to sit around them.
Day 2: Advanced Applications, Forecasting & Implementation
- Day 2 is where AI in finance and accounting moves beyond automation into the work that requires judgment. AI for financial forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis are covered through structured hands-on exercises participants build models, run analysis, and develop the evaluation skills that separate professionals who use AI well from those who use it without understanding what it is actually doing.
- AI in financial reporting and predictive analytics get proper treatment here how AI changes the reporting process, what governance and disclosure considerations follow from that, and how finance teams build AI outputs into reporting workflows without compromising the accuracy that financial statements require.
- Implementation closes the day. Practical considerations for integrating AI into existing accounting systems, the change management that makes adoption stick, and an honest look at where artificial intelligence and accounting are heading and what that means for professionals building their skills now.

Meet Your Trainer
Peter Bokma Accounting & Treasury Expert
Peter Bokma has spent over 45 years working across accounting, treasury, and finance leadership in multiple industries. That depth of experience shapes how he teaches AI for accountants course not as a technology subject imported into a finance context, but as a finance subject that happens to involve technology. Participants consistently say that what makes Peter’s delivery different is his ability to connect what AI does to what accountants actually deal with. The scenarios are real, the judgment calls are real, and the feedback is direct. If you have ever sat through AI training that felt disconnected from your actual job, this is a different experience.

- Case Study
Case Study Example
A mid-sized accounting firm had been hearing about AI for accountants long enough that the topic had started to feel abstract. Invoice processing was still manual. Reconciliations were still consuming analyst time. Forecasting models were still being rebuilt from scratch each quarter because nobody had set up anything that carried forward intelligently. After the team went through a structured AI in accounting training program, the firm automated its accounts payable process, cut reconciliation time by over 60 percent, and built a forecasting model that updates as transaction data arrives rather than requiring a analyst to rebuild it. The outcome that surprised them most was not the time saved it was how quickly the team developed judgment about when to trust AI outputs and when to look more carefully. That turned out to matter as much as the automation.
