This hands-on session focuses on real finance workflows using AI, with a strong emphasis on working securely with sensitive financial data. With a compare-and-contrast approach using ChatGPT and Kyva, with Kyva providing a secure environment for working with sensitive financial information, you'll gain clarity, and make more confident decisions.
You work through realistic finance scenarios using guided, “show and follow” demonstrations.
The focus stays on practical outcomes, not theory.
You leave with:
Faster forecasting using simple what-if scenarios and clear summaries
Better margin insight, including what drives profit and where to improve
A clearer view of financial health, including trends, cash pressure, and risk flags
Topics may include:
• Financial health across P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow
• Margins, COGS, pricing, and profit drivers
• Forecasting, budgets, and cashflow projections
• One to two topics will be covered in depth, based on attendee interest.
How it works:
• Live demonstrations using ChatGPT and Kyva
• Classroom “show and follow” delivery
• Demo data used in class, then get Kyva access for 7 days to test privately with your own numbers
• Seven-day Kyva access included, normally a $200 + GST pilot programme from Co-Intell
• Optional one-hour follow-up session with Co-Intell after the trial period
