AI Revolution in FP&A is Set to Offer One of the Most Impactful Transformations in Finance

LONDON, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICit Business Intelligence, a leading Workday Adaptive Planning Solution Provider, has today released new research showing that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will reshape the future of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), empowering finance professionals to become more trusted, strategic partners to their organisations. According to the latest ICit-commissioned report: Harnessing AI for enhanced Financial Planning & Analysis, FP&A teams are already experiencing substantial financial and time-saving benefits by utilising AI.

AI’s potential for savings and efficiency gains is transforming the role of teams

The independent study*, conducted with 300 UK FP&A professionals, revealed that 85% of organisations are already using AI-powered FP&A software. Two thirds (66%) of finance professionals reported that AI is set to save between 50 and 200 hours of work annually, enabling them to focus on more value-added activities like strategic planning. From a cost saving point of view, these same companies are seeing financial savings of £50,000–£100,000 annually due to AI-powered FP&A software.

According to ICit’s Director, Mark Bodger, “AI’s ability to streamline complex data processes and deliver real-time insights allows finance teams to step into more strategic roles, enabling them to focus on strategic decision-making rather than manual tasks.”

AI is Elevating FP&A Teams into Strategic Leaders

As AI increasingly becomes a standard in financial operations, finance teams are evolving beyond their traditional roles of managing budgets and forecasts. With AI’s ability to analyse vast datasets and predict future trends, FP&A professionals are moving closer to the heart of business strategy, offering critical guidance to senior leadership. ICit’s report highlighted the importance of AI in helping finance teams become strategic advisors, with 59% of respondents to the study noting that AI enhances financial decision-making through more accurate forecasts and real-time scenario analysis. AI adoption is also boosting trust in finance teams, with 67% of finance professionals citing AI’s critical role in providing senior executives with reliable, data-driven insights.

Bodger continued: “AI is enabling faster, more precise forecasting and insights, allowing finance teams to make better decisions and drive business success.”

AI as a Driver of Trust and Competitiveness

The ICit study also showed that AI is becoming essential for finance teams looking to build greater trust with their C-suite executives. Over two-thirds (67%) of finance professionals believe AI will play a pivotal role in establishing confidence in their insights and decisions. As AI evolves, finance teams will be able to quickly adapt to market changes, reducing errors and providing more accurate financial forecasts.

Tim Wakeford, Vice President, Financial Product Strategy, Workday commented: “From tackling manual work to responding to economic instability, the challenges finance professionals face are diverse and growing. In the AI-era, a lack of agility will see slow movers quickly fall behind. The main barrier to achieving this, however, is trust – which is why finance leaders need to seize the opportunity and take action. Leaders must also advocate for AI, cultivate a responsible culture and showcase how it overcomes the daily challenges finance teams face. This isn’t always easy – it may call for tough choices on budgets, or receive initial push back from other leaders. However, with the right steps, a more productive, strategic and high-performing finance department is in reach.”

Mark Bodger concluded: “There is no doubt that AI is giving companies a competitive edge and our latest research indicates that organisations adopting AI in FP&A are outperforming their peers in operational efficiency, cost management, and strategic execution. As a result, these companies are better positioned to navigate financial uncertainty and seize new opportunities.”

*The findings presented in this report are based on a study of 300 UK financial decision-makers, commissioned by ICit. The survey focused on AI/ML adoption in FP&A software between 9th-14th August, 2024.

NEW DELHI, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a world where financial systems are showing cracks—from limited access to exclusionary practices—a quiet revolution is brewing. Web3, with its promise of decentralization, offers more than just technological change; it offers a philosophical shift. But with opportunity comes complexity.

The rise of DeFi has unlocked new possibilities, yet many individuals and businesses struggle to navigate this evolving landscape securely and confidently.

Enter Triskel Wallet, a groundbreaking platform redefining financial tools. The Web3 superapp bridges traditional finance and the Web3 ecosystem, offering unprecedented asset control while ensuring security and compliance.

Beyond Traditional Finance

With just a few taps on a smartphone, investors can access prime real estate opportunities across the globe. No paperwork, no brokers, no hassle.

That’s the power of asset tokenization, and it’s just one of the ways Triskel is democratizing finance. As founder, Abel Benitez, explains, “Imagine owning a piece of global real estate without the paperwork, brokers, or middlemen—just a few clicks away on your phone.”

What was once exclusive to institutional investors, high-net-worth families, and patrimonial wealth is now accessible to everyday users. Triskel opens financial opportunities that were previously reserved for the few, democratizing access to investments and wealth-building tools through its innovative platform.

Your Keys Your Kingdom

Redefining Asset Control At its core, Triskel is a non-custodial wallet. This means users retain exclusive control of their private keys, eliminating the need for bank intermediaries. Users maintain complete autonomy over their assets as sole owners of their wealth.

Abel Benitez, the visionary behind Triskel, puts it perfectly: “Finance isn’t just about profit; it’s about freedom—freedom to control, build, and participate in wealth creation without borders or intermediaries.” This freedom to grow wealth and access previously unattainable opportunities defines true financial autonomy.

Security and Innovation Combined

Regarding security, Triskel has implemented robust measures. Advanced security protocols and regulatory compliance allow safe exploration of the DeFi world while keeping both individuals and businesses protected from legal pitfalls. The platform’s hybrid model offers the best of both worlds, enabling seamless management of both crypto and fiat assets.

Triskel emphasizes the importance of a collaborative economy, reflecting its commitment to shared value creation. As part of this effort, the platform has introduced the Real Referral Program (RRP), offering participants up to 50% of revenue. This initiative not only rewards community engagement but also aligns with Triskel’s vision of building an inclusive financial ecosystem where users benefit from collective growth.

The Future of Finance

As the lines between traditional and decentralized finance continue to blur, platforms like Triskel Wallet are leading the way. By offering security, compliance, and user control, Triskel ensures that individuals and businesses can confidently navigate both realms.

“We’re not just building a platform,” Benitez reflects. “We’re building the future. A future where trust, control, and opportunity are in the hands of everyone.”

About Triskel

Triskel Wallet is a decentralized, non-custodial super app that provides users with complete control over crypto assets. The platform bridges the gap between DeFi and traditional finance with USDT-backed Debit card.
