What if your next accounting mistake could be caught by AI before it ever reaches your financial reports?

From messy general ledgers to time-consuming reconciliations, accounting can drain valuable resources. But Claude AI is changing what's possible, helping businesses turn raw financial data into structured reports, identify discrepancies, and automate repetitive work.

In this episode of Leveraging AI, host Isar Meitis sits down with Maksims Sičs, co-founder of the Microsoft Excel World Championship and founder of Flowbyte AI, for a practical demonstration of AI-powered accounting automation. Watch how Claude transforms months of general ledger data into Excel-based profit and loss statements and balance sheets, while flagging errors that might otherwise go unnoticed.

In this session, you'll discover:

• How to use Claude AI to automate accounting workflows without complex technical skills.
• How to turn six months of general ledger data into structured P&L statements and balance sheets.
• Why asking AI to use Excel formulas instead of hard-coded numbers makes financial reports easier to audit and update.
• How to provide the right business context to reduce AI assumptions and improve accuracy.
• How Claude can identify duplicate invoices, VAT discrepancies, unusual transactions, and missing information.
• How to use AI to reconcile financial data and simplify monthly accounting reviews.
• Why these same AI automation principles can work across other business operations.

Maksims Sičs is a finance professional, co-founder of the Microsoft Excel World Championship, and founder of Flowbyte AI, where he helps businesses automate operational processes using artificial intelligence.
