Learning objectives & outcomes

Demonstrable skills your team will apply on live projects.

01 / Capability

Apply AI across the finance lifecycle

FP&A, controllership, audit, treasury, tax, regulatory reporting — with audit-grade discipline.

02 / Capability

Use AI for non-coder financial analysis

Code Interpreter, NL2SQL, AI-augmented Excel for analyst-grade work without engineer dependency.

03 / Capability

Govern AI use in finance with discipline

Confidentiality classifications, SOX-aligned audit trails, regulatory implications, vendor evaluation.

04 / Outcome

Pass GSDC AI for Finance certification

Two attempts; cohort first-attempt pass rate 89%.

05 / Outcome

Compress monthly close and analysis cycles

30-50% time saving on variance analysis, commentary drafting, board-pack production — documented pre/post.

06 / Outcome

Lead AI initiatives in your finance function

Equipped to evaluate vendors, design controls, and shape AI strategy for finance.

Skills transformation

Where your team is now vs where they'll be after the programme.

Before · Day Zero

Where most teams start

  • ·Aware AI matters for finance but unsure which use cases are safe, compliant, and value-additive
  • ·Limited fluency with AI in finance workflows (Excel Copilot, Codex/Claude for SQL, AI in Workday, Oracle, SAP)
  • ·Cannot reliably use Code Interpreter / Advanced Data Analysis for non-coder financial analysis
  • ·No working framework for AI in audit-grade documentation, SOX, regulatory reporting
  • ·Concerned about confidentiality of financial data in AI tools but unclear on what's safe
  • ·Limited fluency with AI for variance analysis, forecasting, and management commentary
After · Programme Close

Where they'll arrive

  • AI-augmented FP&A — variance analysis, forecasting, commentary, board-pack drafting at 3-5× the pace
  • Controllership AI fluency — close acceleration, reconciliation assistance, exception detection
  • Audit-grade discipline — knows what's safe to put in AI, what isn't, with SOX-aligned documentation
  • Code Interpreter mastery for non-coder financial analysis on real datasets
  • NL2SQL fluency for finance — querying ERP and data warehouse without engineer dependency
  • GSDC AI for Finance certification — credential for senior finance roles
Why NovelVista

Built for L&D outcomes, not seat counts.

Modules covering prompting, Custom GPTs, automation, multimodal AI, and responsible use
40–60%
Target reduction in recurring task effort through documented workflow compression
50+
Tested, role-specific prompts learners leave with in their personal prompt library

Prompt discipline, not prompt luck

Learners move from trial-and-error prompting to named patterns such as role prompting, few-shot, prompt chaining, and self-critique.

Reusable team assets

The programme produces Custom GPTs, reusable workflow templates, and a shared prompt library that teams can govern and scale.

Daily productivity workflows

Labs focus on email, reports, slides, meetings, spreadsheets, research synthesis, and role-based business assignments.

$

Measured time savings

Capstone workflows document recurring task compression, review-cycle reduction, and before/after productivity improvements.

Responsible enterprise use

Learners practise confidentiality, IP, bias detection, verification checklists, and safe-use protocols before adoption at scale.

Sustainment built in

30-day, 60-day, and 90-day check-ins help learners keep pace as ChatGPT features and frontier models evolve.

Delivery framework

A four-milestone path from skill gap to client-ready.

1
Milestone One

Foundation & baseline

Establish a working mental model of ChatGPT, frontier models, tokens, context windows, hallucination risks, and model-selection trade-offs.

2
Milestone Two

Prompt engineering labs

Learners practise CRISPE, SPEAR, role prompting, constraint-led prompting, few-shot prompting, self-critique, and prompt iteration on real work scenarios.

3
Milestone Three

Custom GPTs & workflow automation

Each learner builds reusable GPTs and connects ChatGPT to productivity tools for email, documents, spreadsheets, meetings, and research workflows.

4
Milestone Four

Capstone & sustainment

Learners demonstrate a personal AI productivity system and continue with prompt-of-the-week, model-of-the-month, and 30/60/90-day check-ins.

Lead Trainer

Domain-expert trainers, not professional presenters.

"My job isn't to teach ChatGPT as a tool — it's to help professionals build repeatable AI workflows, verify the output, and reclaim hours from routine work."

★★★★★

"The most useful part was workflow automation. Learners took their weekly reports, meeting recaps, and research tasks and reduced hours of repetitive effort."

PM
Programme Manager
Enterprise Operations
★★★★★

"Responsible use was handled practically. The team finally understood what can be pasted, what must be masked, and how to verify output before sending it."
