Machine Learning Uses in Finance Departments


Inaccurate cash flow projections can cost businesses up to 3% in profits and erode trust in previous decisions. Machine learning incorporates all financial data to deliver accurate projections. Models can explore relationships between thousands of different data points and identify the points with the strongest correlation. Multiple models can be created to play out different scenarios. Once created, models can be adjusted to accommodate new information, providing for proactive, rather than reactionary, decisions.
