Questions, answered
What does an AI FP&A Analyst do?
This teammate runs the planning rhythm: building budget templates, maintaining rolling forecasts, tracking actuals against plan, and modeling scenarios for leadership. Use it to keep forecasts current between planning cycles and to answer what-if questions with driver-based logic. Typical work includes: maintain the rolling forecast with latest actuals and drivers; support annual budget preparation across departments; track budget versus actual performance with variance narratives.
Will an AI FP&A Analyst act without my approval?
You decide how far it goes. In chat it does what you ask — ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts — and email from web chat is drafted for you to send. Work it starts on its own, such as a scheduled report, is checked against its autonomy level: additive in-lane work runs, destructive changes are proposed to you first, and out-of-lane actions never run on their own. Every reply shows its steps.
