In this episode of CFO Weekly, Nicolas Boucher, a finance AI thought leader who has trained over 5,000 professionals, joins Megan Weis to explore how modern CFOs can leverage AI to transform their finance operations through strategic prompting, automation, and human-machine collaboration. Nicolas brings extensive experience with 15 years in finance, including roles at PwC as an auditor across Luxembourg and Singapore, and as a finance leader at Thales, a European aerospace company similar to Boeing.


With his deep background in both traditional finance and AI implementation, Nicolas shares how finance teams can transition from manual processes to AI-powered automation using frameworks like CSI and FBI for effective prompting. Currently leading the AI Finance Club community with over 1 million social media followers, Nicolas helps finance professionals develop critical AI skills and avoid common implementation pitfalls while building teams that combine human expertise with robotic efficiency.
