How Finance Leaders Use AI to Automate Reporting and Reduce Planning Time by Half with Andrew Hull

In this episode of FP&A Tomorrow, host Paul Barnhurst sits down with Andrew Hull to break down how AI is reshaping finance, strategy, and time management.
From summarizing 10-Ks in seconds to optimizing budget cycles, they explore how AI is shifting the way finance professionals work.
Generative AI isn’t perfect, but getting 80% of the way there in minutes? That’s a game-changer.
It’s not just about crunching numbers. AI is streamlining workflows-rewriting emails, creating competitive analyses, and even summarizing podcasts. The best part? It’s doing it with near-perfect accuracy.
Still hesitant? Think about the hours spent on budget planning. AI is cutting that down, letting finance teams shift focus from endless spreadsheets to real analysis.
And when it comes to strategy, the message is clear: start early, practice often.
Whether it’s setting a vision for your team or joining a nonprofit board to hone decision-making skills, the future belongs to those who take initiative.
AI is also redefining leadership. Those who learn to leverage it now will be the ones leading finance in the next decade.
But here’s the catch-technology alone won’t drive impact. It’s about how you apply it. Smart professionals will use AI to enhance decision-making, not replace it.
The shift is happening. Are you adapting, or are you waiting to catch up?
Embrace AI, refine your strategy, and stop wasting time on processes that should already be automated.
