For Finance teams to offer strategic direction to senior business leadership, financial planning, and analysis teams can leverage the newest and most potent tools in their arsenal now. The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) in this workflow has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing the traditional methods of deciphering past historical trends as well as identifying patterns that could not be determined using conventional rule-based methods so far. Further, data transformations and reconciliations need to be done to retrieve clean data from documents.
