What you'll learn
The Copy-Paste Reconciliation Hack That Saves 2 Hours a Month
If you're still matching transactions manually in Excel, there's a faster way using AI. Learn the exact steps (no technical setup required).
What Happens When AI Matches 95% of Your Transactions Before You Even Open Your Laptop
See how a reconciliation agent that's connected to your ERP handles matching automatically as new transactions land. You'll see the matched results, the logic behind each match, and how the system learns your patterns over time.
How to Draft Variance Commentary in 5 Minutes Using AI You Already Have
Writing the same flux explanations every month is one of the most tedious parts of close. See how to use AI to draft variance commentary from your data, so you're editing and reviewing instead of writing from scratch.
How to Generate Flux Explanations for 20+ Accounts in Under 30 Seconds
The one button click that produces plain-English explanations for every account with a material variance. You'll see it happen in real time during the session. No Excel. No pivot tables. No writing commentary by hand.
What Auditors Actually Look For (and How AI Can Help You Get Ahead of It)
Most audit findings come from the same handful of issues: missing approvals, unexplained journal entries, incomplete reconciliations. See how AI can help you catch them before someone else does.
How to Flag Unusual Journal Entries in Real Time Instead of Finding Them Three Months Later
Most exception handling happens after the close, often during an audit when it's too late to fix cleanly. See how AI reviews entries as they're posted and flags the ones that look unusual, so your team can deal with them in the moment (instead of being caught out later).
Month-End, Made Better
Every month follows the same pattern: downloading the GL, reconciling transactions line by line, building variance tables from scratch, and writing commentary that repeats what the numbers already show. You may have tried using AI to speed up the process, but most tools don’t connect to your actual data, and you wouldn’t trust the output enough to send it to the board without reviewing every line yourself.
Join Nicolas Boucher, the no. 1 AI in Finance influencer who has trained 10,000+ finance professionals at KPMG, Mercedes-Benz, and Siemens, alongside Albert Malikov, Founder and CEO of Stacks, whose customers have cut their close time by 47% and reduced manual reconciliations by 97%. They will show where general AI tools reach their limits, and what changes when AI agents are connected directly to your systems to run reconciliations, generate flux reports, and flag exceptions without manual steps in between.
This masterclass shows you what's possible when AI is built specifically for accounting workflows.
If you want to shorten your close, stop rewriting the same variance commentary each month, or get through close week without working late, this is the most practical hour you'll spend on AI this month.
