Finance and accounting

AI training for construction finance and accounting teams

Finance teams need AI that writes clearly about numbers without changing them. We teach your accounting staff to use AI for narratives, checklists and contract reading, with one firm rule: AI drafts the words, never the math.

Where AI helps

What finance and accounting teams use AI for

Explain the numbers faster

  • Variance narratives from anonymized job-cost summaries
  • Month-end close steps turned into a checklist a new hire can follow
  • Plain-language summaries for project managers and owners
Sample promptAttached is our anonymized job-cost summary. Write a variance narrative for the three largest overruns. Frame possible causes as items to verify, not as facts.

Read contracts and documents

  • Pull obligations and notice deadlines out of contracts and purchase orders
  • Extract figures into a named-column table without calculating
  • Compare two versions of a document and flag every change
In class

What your team practices

Practice on realistic samples

  • Sample B, a one-page job-cost summary with two line items in variance. Teams extract them into a table with a "do not calculate" rule and learn the difference between extraction and judgment.
  • Artifacts: revising a variance table in place, then re-checking every figure after the edit, because edits can quietly change numbers.
  • Model selection and cost control: when a lighter model is enough, and how usage and plans affect the AI bill.

Every exercise uses realistic sample documents we supply, never your live projects, so nobody brings confidential files to class. Applying the method to your own work happens after the course.

Guardrails

What never goes into an AI tool

For this team in particular

  • Account numbers, payroll records and personal financial data
  • Unpublished financials and credit information
  • Anything identifying an employee or client by name in cost data

For everyone

  • Company accounts only, never personal ones
  • A qualified person reviews anything that leaves the firm
  • Check client and contract rules on AI before using it on a deliverable
