finance bro here, as tech bros list potential use cases of AI and ML for a non tech bro.
Hey guys, I'm a finance guy, i've already put up a post here and that has been helpful.
I'm exploring this area because it seems appropriate to equip myself with tech that makes sense for this day and age and the currently messed up market.
in additon I am also pursuing acca (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) a UK based certification that would qualify me as a charted accountant in the gulf, European countries and a handful more close to 120.
what I am fluent with (atleast the basics, they are rusty but I can get back) - Python libraries like pandas and matplotlib, SQL for data management and maintaining records.
I've used claude and chat for helping me strengthen my strategies, I have been working as a growth and marketing head at a startup, now I have taken a break and I am looking forward to pick up something or anything that will help me in areas of, data analysis, financial analysis, marketing and growth, and operations.
I am currently also learning SAP-FICO ( Systems, Applications, and Products in Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO))
And perhaps my ultimate goal for now would be to also learn process automation.
Note: my previous post had a lot of people give valuable comments, I also had a chat with a few people who've been very supportive I realised that I was not clear with what areas and roles I wanted to venture into and now I am somewhat clear lol.
I am based in india so that could give you some sense of clarity on things.
I've also heard about fast apis and all that which got me excited to learn but I am unsure where to start as I am stupid and get excited to do everything all at once.
