  • How far should we trust AI? AI is everywhere, but large language models (LLMs) don’t truly think. They generate responses based on probabilities, so they can hallucinate, make errors, and miss key context. AI isn’t replacing financial modellers—it’s a tool, helping with: - Automating calculations - Running scenario analysis - Auditing and stress-testing Yes, AI speeds up workflows, but financial models still need judgment, strategy, and industry expertise. AI can’t replicate these. So what’s actually happening in financial modelling today? We decided to find out… That’s why we surveyed experts across project finance, FP&A, and corporate finance. 75% of those experts believe AI will transform the industry. Our latest report breaks down how AI is being adopted, the risks, and the key skills finance professionals need to stay ahead. Discover what the experts think.

  • Time is money, especially when it comes to financial modelling. But so often, it’s lost because of complex and inconsistent models. Imagine this: You're analysing a financial model. But instead of making strategic decisions, you find yourself tangled in: 1.  Long, complex formulas: Deciphering lengthy formulas with numerous external references 2.  Inconsistency: Different labels for the same item. (Confusing. Isn't it?) 3.  Poor labelling: Non-specific labels for different components, like calling various debt tranches simply “interest” These are not just minor nuisances. They cause confusion and burn valuable time. Get better at modelling. Get better at making things simple… and put time back into your day. #WeareGridlines #FinancialModelling
