Courses, prompt packs and team workshops that teach finance people to use AI the way they already use a spreadsheet — practically, skeptically, and without sitting through another 40-slide "intro to AI" deck.
No fluff. No "10x your productivity" webinars. Just prompts that survive contact with a real close cycle.
Not a generic "AI for business" course. Every lesson assumes you already understand debits, forecasts and month-end pain — we just add the AI.
Accountants, analysts, controllers and FP&A folks who want an edge in their own role — and on their own CV.
Lean teams doing three jobs each. We help you adopt AI without hiring a data science department to do it.
Getting into finance now means competing with people who already use AI. Start there instead of catching up later.
Live cohorts for the ones that benefit from a group and a deadline; self-paced for the ones you can do on a slow Tuesday afternoon.
The foundational course: how to talk to an AI model so it gives you numbers you can actually trust — and where it will confidently lie to you.

Run our flagship AI & Agentic Systems for Financial Services programme in-house, for your risk, compliance, technology and leadership teams together — 24 hours across 3 days, tailored to your institution's own stack and regulatory footprint, ending in a capstone governance artefact your team actually keeps.
FinAI Academy was started by Anders Voss, who trained as a mathematician before starting out in banking and then spending eight years as a director in hedge funds and private equity — the kind of seat where you watch a lot of smart, expensive people do repetitive, error-prone work that a script could do better.
The computer science he'd picked up alongside the maths at university — data analysis, building algorithms — turned out to be the other half of the answer. So this is the training that gap needed: practical, skeptical of hype, and written by someone who has actually sat in the room while a controller tried to get a chatbot to stop hallucinating account codes.
Based in Zurich — home to more asset managers per square metre than most countries have altogether, and a reasonable place to build a finance-and-AI academy that has to survive contact with people who actually manage money for a living.

FinAI Academy is in early access — these are notes from people who tested course material and prompt packs before public launch.
"First AI training that didn't assume I needed to learn Python first. I used the close-pack prompts the same week."
— R., Finance Director, manufacturing SME"The FP&A prompts alone saved me an afternoon of variance-commentary writing. That's the whole pitch, honestly."
— M., Senior FP&A Analyst"Ran the team workshop with our five-person finance function. We left with an actual plan, not just enthusiasm."
— S., Head of Finance, logistics SMENo. Everything is prompting and workflow — if you can write a clear email, you can learn this.
We're tool-agnostic — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and the AI features inside Excel and Google Sheets. The skill is knowing what to ask, not which logo is on the button.
That's a full module on its own — what's safe to paste into a public tool, what isn't, and how to set up guardrails for your team. We take it as seriously as you do.
Yes — every course ends with a completion certificate you can add to LinkedIn or your CV.
Yes. We run the flagship programme as a private, in-house cohort for your team, tailored to your institution's stack and regulatory footprint — pricing is on request, so reach out via the cohort link above.
The Starter course exists exactly for this. Most people are productive with their first prompt pack within the hour.
FinAI Academy is opening in stages. Join the waitlist for early access, founding-member pricing, and first pick of live cohort seats.
