The premise
Numbers don't speak — narratives do. AI can convert variance tables into a story leadership can act on, while the CFO retains final judgment on what to call out.
What AI does well here
- Translate variance tables into plain English
- Cluster variances by root cause (volume, mix, timing, one-off)
- Draft 3 versions of the same finding for different audiences
- Suggest which metrics deserve a deep dive next
What AI cannot do
- Decide what to disclose vs. defer
- Validate the underlying accounting
- Predict next quarter's results
- Replace your audit committee's judgment
