In this episode of Future Finance Podcast, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper invite David Ingraham, CEO & Founder of HyperPerfect, to explore why most finance professionals struggle with AI in Excel and how proper guidance changes everything.

Too many people open Excel and expect AI to build a perfect model instantly.

Then they question the technology when the output breaks.

The real issue is not the tool. It is the missing steps between idea and execution.

Financial models are built through a structured progression.

AI requires the same discipline to perform effectively.

Without context, it cannot understand your expectations.

Without guidance, it cannot deliver reliable outcomes.

The learning curve is steep because the workflow is misunderstood.

Support and education are now critical for adoption.
