Let’s start with the million-dollar question: Is AI in financial services killing creativity?
With AI automating forecasting, portfolio analysis, and reporting, it’s a valid concern. If every advisor, CFO, and accountant has access to the same data-driven insights, where’s the room for original thinking? Aren’t we all just following the same algorithm now?
Nope. And here’s why.
Imagine a financial advisor using AI to scan hundreds of portfolios in minutes—but choosing a unique asset mix based on a client’s life goals.
Or a controller spotting a cost anomaly with AI, then deciding how to course-correct based on the company’s 3-year growth plan.
Or a bookkeeper leveraging automation for reconciliations, then crafting a narrative to help a client make better business decisions.
That’s not replacing creativity. That’s empowering it. Financial services don’t get less creative with AI. They get more human.
Because when you remove the manual tasks, you make space for deeper thinking. When you surface the same data, you still need a different lens to act on it. And when your competitors get lazy and let AI decide for them? That’s your chance to shine.
Creative firms don’t fear AI. They direct it. They understand it’s not the answer—it’s the starting point.
