Treasury still runs on spreadsheets. In 2026.
I see it constantly in finance transformation engagements — sophisticated businesses with mature ERP stacks, yet the 13-week cash flow forecast is still being stitched together manually in Excel every Monday morning.
Someone pulling bank statements. Someone else chasing AR on outstanding invoices. A third person reconciling intercompany positions. Hours of work to produce a forecast that's already partially stale by the time it lands in the CFO's inbox.
Here's what AI-powered treasury actually looks like when it's implemented properly:
📊 FORECASTING ACCURACY
Traditional 13-week forecasts carry a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of ~25%. ML-based forecasting models — fed with ERP actuals, AR/AP aging, payroll schedules, and bank feeds — bring that error rate down to under 10%. Some well-configured implementations are hitting 93–97% accuracy. That's not marginal improvement. That's a different instrument entirely.
💸 CASH POSITIONING
Instead of reactive liquidity management, AI continuously monitors cash positions across all entities and bank accounts. It flags anomalies — unexpected outflows, bank fee irregularities, idle cash sitting in low-yield accounts. Alerts before problems, not after.
🌍 FX EXPOSURE
For businesses trading across currencies, AI identifies FX exposure patterns and generates hedging signals automatically — monitoring transaction flows and flagging when positions breach risk thresholds. No more manual currency exposure tracking in a separate spreadsheet.
⚡ SCENARIO STRESS TESTING
Capgemini's research highlights AI running thousands of stress-test simulations — currency shocks, supply chain disruptions, interest rate movements — in seconds. What used to take a treasury analyst days now runs overnight.
JPMorgan's treasury AI research makes the point clearly: the future of treasury isn't just faster forecasting. It's autonomous cash management where human treasury teams shift from data collectors to strategic decision-makers.
The ERP layer is where this gets interesting. If your D365, SAP, or Oracle instance isn't feeding real-time data into your treasury function, you're leaving significant value on the table. The cash visibility your systems already hold is the fuel — AI is the engine.
The question isn't whether AI will transform treasury. It already is. The question is whether your treasury function will be leading that shift or catching up.

Tax compliance used to be a once-a-year scramble. Now it's a full-time operational risk — and most finance functions aren't equipped for it.
Here's what's landed on CFOs and Group Finance Directors in the last 12 months alone:
→ BEPS Pillar Two (15% global minimum tax) — live in 140+ jurisdictions. GloBE calculations require data from every legal entity, every quarter. That's not a spreadsheet job anymore.
→ VAT digital mandates — Belgium, Croatia, and more went live January 2026. ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age) is rolling across the EU. E-invoicing isn't optional; it's a compliance condition.
→ Transfer pricing documentation — regulators are using AI to audit. Your documentation needs to keep pace.
The finance teams that are handling this without drowning? They've started using AI to do the heavy lifting.
What that looks like in practice:
◆ Automated GloBE income modelling — AI pulls entity-level data from ERP systems, runs the Pillar Two calculations, and flags top-up tax exposures before the quarter closes. No manual aggregation. No missed jurisdictions.
◆ VAT compliance checking across jurisdictions — AI flags transactions that violate local rules in real-time. Not post-filing. Not after the penalty notice arrives.
◆ Transfer pricing documentation automation — AI drafts the functional analysis, comparables review, and benchmarking narrative. Tax teams review and approve. Hours, not weeks.
◆ Regulatory change monitoring — AI watches for legislative changes (OECD updates, HMRC guidance, EU directives) and alerts the finance function to impact. No more discovering a rule change after it bites you.
The risk of doing nothing is asymmetric. Regulators have more tools than ever. Penalties for Pillar Two non-compliance are material. VAT errors trigger audits that cost infinitely more than the automation would have.
The finance functions ahead of this curve aren't bigger or better-resourced. They've just stopped treating tax compliance as a manual process.
AI doesn't replace your tax knowledge. It operationalises it — at a scale and speed that makes the old approach unviable.
