Christian Martinez: AI for Finance

Have you heard about NotebookLM?



Most finance and FP&A teams I spoke have not use it yet.



And I think it's a mistake because it is one of the few AI tools that becomes exponentially more valuable when you feed it finance-specific context.

You can upload: 10-Qs, Board decks, Earnings call transcripts, KPI reports, Investor presentations...



…and create valuable outputs grounded in your actual data.



I created a full practical guide showing exactly how finance teams can use it.



You can see the first pages here, sharing the full version in my new page here:

www.instagram.com/christianmartinez.ai.finance/



It includes workflows, examples, implementation ideas and finance-specific use cases!



Here are few practical examples on how to use NotebookLM for Finance & FP&A teams:



✅ Turn large reports into digestible insights
✅ Summarize earnings calls in minutes
✅ Compare competitors across filings
✅ Build CFO Q&A prep documents

Christian Martinez: AI for Finance

Most finance professionals are using AI like Google.

That’s the mistake.

The real leverage comes when AI starts doing the work for you.

One of the easiest ways to start:
Google Colab.

You can use it to:
• automate repetitive reporting
• analyze large datasets
• create dashboards
• run AI-generated Python code
• connect Excel & Google Sheets
• build finance workflows in minutes

And the best part:
You don’t need to install anything.

Browser-based.
Free.
Practical.

I just shared a full beginner-friendly guide for finance teams on Instagram.

OpenAI just released ChatGPT for PowerPoint!

It is a PowerPoint-native AI experience in beta that lives in a sidebar inside Microsoft PowerPoint.

Not just generating text… but actually helping structure, edit, review, and refine presentations, while preserving editable slide structure.

In this link below I show you how to use it with all the prompts I tested including one to create your first ChatGPT skill!

Most finance teams are experimenting with AI.

Very few are actually using it in their daily workflows.

That’s the gap.

Not strategy. Not awareness.
Execution.

So I put together a free 3-day email course: “Claude for Finance.”

No fluff—just practical use cases you can apply immediately:

Day 1: Build a P&L consolidation tool
→ Combine multiple entities, toggle regions, highlight variances
→ No spreadsheets. No IT tickets.

Day 2: Run variance analysis inside Excel
→ Full monthly variance table + commentary + executive summary
→ Built directly in the tool your team already uses

Day 3: Create a board-ready slide in seconds
→ Input: one paragraph
→ Output: headline, chart, insights, and speaker notes

This is the difference between knowing AI exists and actually using it to save hours every week.

If you’re a CFO, Finance Director, or in FP&A—and want to get hands-on fast:

No technical background needed.

Just practical finance workflows—powered by AI.

I condensed 150 AI use cases, 100 prompts, and hours of testing into 5 resources you can use this week. All free. All built for Finance and FP&A.
