Yes, where it helps. Your Financial Analyst works in the AI tools you already use. They use AI for first drafts and routine work, check every output, and follow your AI policy. You can ask for no AI on any task.

An Intermediate Financial Analyst owns the monthly management pack from start to finish. An Expert Financial Analyst builds integrated three-statement and scenario models from scratch. We usually recommend Intermediate.

It stays under your rules: your admin settings and AI policy apply. Our talent rules ban client data in personal or free AI accounts, and passwords, card numbers, health details and ID numbers never go into any AI tool.

Only when you and your person both agree to it in advance. Otherwise they work the hours you set, and you pay for the hours they log.
