Why Now?
Finance isn't going away. It's evolving.
AI isn't just making its way into finance departments—it's already there. And it's primarily affecting the areas that have historically provided employees with their first professional experiences: production, analysis, auditing, reporting, forecasting, and data processing.
This trend is already beginning to change access to careers in finance. Hiring of entry-level candidates is slowing in several roles, as the tasks traditionally assigned to newcomers are precisely the ones that AI and automation are taking over first.
In the United States, job postings for entry-level positions in accounting and finance have declined by about 30% since 2019, while several industry analyses estimate that 40 to 50% of accounting tasks could be automated or significantly enhanced by AI.
Generative AI is already capable of analyzing, synthesizing, explaining, and generating. AI agents go a step further: they can search for information, interact with systems, trigger actions, monitor results, and chain together multiple tasks within a single process.
A professional's value will no longer lie solely in their ability to produce information, but increasingly in their ability to:

AI automates some of the work. It enhances the value of what remains profoundly human. Financial professions aren't disappearing—their focus is shifting.
What the Numbers Say
The first step in one's career is changing.
59%
Finance departments are already using AI. Adoption has risen from 37% in 2023 to 59% in 2025. Among the most common uses are knowledge management, accounts payable automation, and error and anomaly detection.
Gartner, AI in Finance Survey 2025
80.5%
Finance and accounting professionals believe that generative AI and AI agents could become standard tools in their field within the next five years.
Deloitte, Center for Controllership, 2025
41%
Some employers plan to reduce their workforce in areas where AI will automate certain tasks. The WEF already lists accountants and auditors among the professions expected to see a decline in employment by 2030.
World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025
39%
Skills currently used in various professions are expected to be transformed or become obsolete by 2030. At the same time, AI and data are at the top of the list of skills for which demand will grow the fastest.

The Promise of the MSc
You already know about finance. Now learn how to transform it.
The MSc in AI & Data for Finance & Accounting is designed for graduates with a five-year degree who have already received training in the fields of finance, accounting, auditing, and management accounting. The program’s goal is not to retrain students in finance, but to equip them with a second set of skills that has become essential: expertise in AI and data.
Not data scientists. Not AI engineers.
The program does not aim to turn finance professionals into IT development specialists. Instead, it equips them with the ability to understand, use, build, and manage AI and data solutions within their own professional environments.
- Leveraging and Making the Most of Financial Data
- Using predictive models to anticipate and make decisions
- Building Assistants Based on Generative AI
