Whether you’re a CFO juggling strategic decisions, a CP of Finance driving planning cycles, or an accountant buried in reconciliations, you’ve probably wondered: Can AI actually make this easier?
The answer: yes, when you ask the right questions.
We’ve compiled 25 AI prompts tailored to five finance roles. Each one is designed to solve a real pain point, deliver fresh insight, and make your job just a little bit easier.
Even if a specific prompt doesn’t fit your needs, this list can help inspire you to use AI in new ways.
Treasurers are responsible for safeguarding liquidity, managing risk, and optimizing capital, often across multiple markets and currencies. It’s highly strategic work, but much of it depends on wrangling scattered data and tedious analysis.

1. What strategic decisions can CFOs make more effectively with AI?
AI enables CFOs to move faster on capital allocation, liquidity planning, scenario modeling, and board communications. With real-time access to reconciled data and predictive insights, CFOs can evaluate tradeoffs (like R&D vs. debt paydown) with more clarity. It’s not about replacing judgment, it’s about reducing friction between questions and answers to give more time for strategic thinking.
2. Should finance leaders use ChatGPT or Gemini for their financial prompts?
Generic AI tools are a good starting point, but they weren’t built for the nuance of finance. Prompts often rely on context those models don’t have, like audit rules, treasury constraints, or reporting timelines. That’s why tools like Nilus pair human-centric AI with structured financial data to deliver usable, real answers, not generic advice.
3. How do AI tools like ChatGPT support treasury and cash management decisions?
They help translate fragmented data into working capital insights, faster. Whether you’re identifying idle cash, testing debt scenarios, or building variance explanations, AI accelerates the work finance teams already do without waiting for custom spreadsheets or tech tickets. That’s where treasury leaders find real leverage: in speed and accuracy.
4. Are AI-generated insights reliable for strategic financial decision-making?
AI is reliable when paired with source data, context, and review. At Nilus, we see AI as a thinking partner, not a final approver. It should surface questions, catch anomalies, and make the first draft better. The best finance teams use AI to raise the floor on accuracy and free up time for the strategic calls that still require judgment.
5. Do AI prompts for finance require special training or finance-specific models?
Absolutely. Finance work has edge cases, compliance constraints, and timing sensitivities that generic models can miss. That’s why Nilus trains on treasury workflows and finance operations, not just general language. The result is finance-aware outputs (like reconciliations, KPI summaries, and audit checklists) that don’t need rework before they’re useful.

Cash flow management is critical for business success. Whether you’re a startup or an established company, implementing effective cash flow strategies can mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving in today’s competitive market.
This guide explores proven techniques to improve cash flow, recognize warning signs of cash problems, and build a stronger financial foundation for sustainable growth.
Cash flow refers to the net amount of cash moving in and out of your business over a specific period. Understanding the difference between positive and negative cash flow is essential:
Positive Cash Flow: More money coming in than going out – your business can cover expenses and invest in growth.
Negative Cash Flow: Outflows exceed inflows – putting your business at risk of financial difficulties.
Important: Cash flow isn’t the same as profit. While profit reflects earnings after expenses, cash flow measures liquidity – how much actual money you have available to operate your business.
Healthy cash flow management allows your business to:
Recognize these red flags before they become critical issues:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to implement cash flow improvement strategies immediately.
Faster collections = better cash flow. Optimize your AR with these tactics:
Invoice Immediately: Send invoices the same day you deliver goods or services. Set Clear Payment Terms: Use specific terms like “net-30” or “2/10 net-30”
Offer Early Payment Discounts: 2% discount for payments within 10 days. Implement AR Factoring: Convert receivables to immediate cash (80-95% of invoice value). Automate Follow-ups: Use software to send payment reminders automatically
While collecting payments quickly, extend your own payment deadlines when possible:
Proactive cash flow management requires regular monitoring and forecasting:
Review operating costs and eliminate waste without compromising quality:
Immediate Actions:
Ongoing Reviews:
Excess inventory ties up valuable cash. Implement these inventory optimization strategies: Just-in-Time (JIT) Ordering: Order stock as needed to minimize excess. ABC Analysis: Focus on managing high-value items more closely
Inventory Turnover Tracking: Monitor how quickly inventory sells. Seasonal Adjustments: Reduce slow-moving inventory before peak seasons
If cash flow issues stem from low profit margins, consider strategic price adjustments:
Create a financial safety net for unexpected expenses or opportunities:
Target: 3-6 months of operating expenses in reserve. Strategy: Allocate 5-10% of monthly revenue to cash reserves. Investment: Keep reserves in high-yield savings or money market accounts. Access: Ensure funds are readily available when needed
Partner with financial institutions to offer early payment options to suppliers while maintaining extended payment terms for your business.
Use excess cash strategically by taking supplier discounts when cash flow is strong and skipping them when cash is tight.
Access multiple financing options including factoring, asset-based lending, and invoice financing to optimize cash flow timing.
Track these key metrics to monitor improvement:
Operating Cash Flow Ratio: Operating cash flow ÷ Current liabilities. Cash Flow Coverage Ratio: Operating cash flow ÷ Total debt payments. Free Cash Flow: Operating cash flow – Capital expenditures Days Cash on Hand: Cash and equivalents ÷ Daily operating expenses
Mistake 1: Focusing Only on Profit
Solution: Monitor both profitability and cash flow separately – they’re different metrics
Mistake 2: Inadequate Forecasting
Solution: Create rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts updated weekly
Mistake 3: Poor Customer Credit Policies
Solution: Implement credit checks and clear payment terms from the start
Mistake 4: Seasonal Planning Failures
Solution: Plan for seasonal fluctuations and build cash reserves during peak periods
Effective cash flow management isn’t just about balancing the books – it’s about creating a solid foundation for business growth and sustainability.
Start today by:
Remember: Small improvements in cash flow timing can have dramatic impacts on your business’s financial health and growth potential.
Ready to transform your cash flow management? The combination of strategic processes, technology solutions, and proactive planning will give you the financial control needed to grow your business confidently.

From Treasury Masterminds
Based on a Treasury Masterminds webinar featuring Bojan BelejkovskI, Board Member at Treasury Masterminds, and Charles Brough, VP Global Head of Account Management at SAP Taulia. Moderated by Patrick Kunz.
Recordings on Spotify and YouTube:
Working capital is one of those topics that every company talks about, but few companies truly own.
It sounds simple enough. Improve receivables. Optimise payables. Reduce trapped cash. Create more visibility. Free up liquidity.
In practice, it is rarely that clean.
Working capital does not sit neatly inside one department. Treasury sees the cash impact, procurement negotiates supplier terms, sales agrees customer terms, finance manages the accounting, operations influences execution. Everyone touches it, yet ownership is often unclear.
That was one of the key themes in our Treasury Masterminds webinar, “Unlocking Liquidity: Flexible Working Capital Strategies”, with Bojan Belejkovski, Treasury Masterminds board member, and Charles Smith from SAP Taulia.
As Patrick said during the session:
“There is no working capital department and there will never be a working capital department. Collaboration is the key.”
That may sound obvious, but it is often exactly where working capital initiatives fail.
Treasury is usually close to the numbers. It sees the cash flow forecast, the bank balances, the liquidity gaps, the funding needs and the impact of payment behaviour.
Bojan described treasury’s role very clearly:
“Treasury owns the measurement and the consequence of working capital, even when it doesn’t own the levers themselves.”
That is the uncomfortable truth.
Treasury can see that DSO is moving in the wrong direction. It can see when supplier terms create liquidity pressure. It can see when cash is trapped in entities or countries. It can also see when the forecast does not match reality.
But treasury does not always control the decisions that create the problem.
Sales may agree to extended payment terms to close a deal. Procurement may negotiate supplier terms without considering the full cash impact. Business units may sit on cash locally. By the time treasury is involved, the decision has often already been made.
Bojan put it even sharper:
“Treasury is often the last function to find out and the first one to be asked to fix something.”
Many treasurers will recognise that sentence immediately.
Visibility Comes First
Before companies can improve working capital, they need to understand where liquidity is stuck.
Charles made that point early in the discussion:
“If you don’t have visibility, you can’t actually take any action, and you can’t improve from where you are today.”
This is where many organisations still struggle.
They may have data in ERP systems, TMS platforms, spreadsheets, bank portals and local reports. The information exists, but it is fragmented. By the time it is collected, cleaned and discussed, the opportunity may already have moved.
That lack of visibility makes it difficult to answer basic questions.
Without answers to those questions, working capital management becomes guesswork. And guesswork is not a strategy, even if someone puts it in PowerPoint.
One of the most interesting parts of the webinar was the discussion about receivables.
When asked where he would focus first, Bojan did not hesitate.
“If I can fix one tomorrow, it’s going to be receivables.”
His reason was simple. Receivables are often under-owned.
Sales is focused on revenue. Credit is focused on risk. Finance is focused on accounting. Treasury is focused on cash. All of them have a role, but that does not automatically create ownership.
Or as Bojan said:
“Everyone touches receivables. No one owns it.”
That is a big issue.
A company can have a strong sales performance and still struggle with cash collection. It can have good revenue growth while liquidity gets stuck in overdue invoices. It can have a strong pipeline, while treasury is forced to deal with the cash gap.
Receivables are also messy. Customer behaviour changes. Billing data is not always clean. Collection processes are not always consistent. Commercial teams do not always want to have uncomfortable conversations with customers.
That is why receivables deserve more attention from treasury.
Not because treasury should suddenly become the collections department, nobody needs that tragedy, but because treasury can help quantify the cash impact, highlight the risk and bring the right teams together.
Supply chain finance was another important topic in the discussion.
It is sometimes presented as a simple liquidity tool. Extend payment terms, offer suppliers early payment, unlock cash. Done.
Reality is more nuanced.
Charles explained it well:
“The primary value of supply chain finance is as a negotiation tool.”
That is an important distinction.
A good supply chain finance programme is not just about creating liquidity for the buyer. It can also support suppliers by giving them access to financing at better rates than they could achieve on their own.
For the buyer, it creates flexibility. For the supplier, it can reduce cash flow pressure. For procurement, it becomes part of the broader supplier relationship.
That also means success depends on adoption.
Charles made another practical point:
“It’s not just about the rate. The supplier experience matters just as much.”
If the programme is difficult to use, suppliers will not adopt it. If procurement is not involved, it will not scale. If treasury builds the programme in isolation, it risks becoming a nice technical solution that nobody actually uses.
Bojan was clear on this as well:
“The programs that scale are the ones where procurement and treasury are genuinely aligned on day one.”
That is probably one of the most practical lessons for any company considering supply chain finance.
Do not start with the technology.
Start with alignment.
Working capital cannot be managed properly if treasury only joins at the end of the process.
Bojan captured this perfectly:
“You can’t drive strategy from the end of the process.”
If customer terms are agreed without treasury input, the cash impact becomes treasury’s problem later. If supplier terms are negotiated without considering liquidity, treasury has to manage the consequences. If local entities hold excess cash without group visibility, treasury has to work around the structure.
The companies that do this better involve treasury earlier.
Bojan explained:
“The companies where treasury drives working capital have given treasury a seat early and with a mandate.”
That mandate matters.
Treasury should not be there just to report the outcome. It should help the business understand the cash effect of decisions before those decisions are made. This does not mean treasury needs to own sales, procurement or operations. It does mean treasury should be part of the conversation when payment terms, financing structures and liquidity trade-offs are discussed.
Naturally, AI came up during the webinar. It always does now. Mention treasury technology in 2026 and AI enters the room like it owns the building.
But the discussion was refreshingly practical.
AI is not the first step.
As Patrick said during the session:
“AI is not step one. It’s often step three or four.”
Before AI can add real value, companies need visibility, automation and clean data. If the underlying data is poor, the output will be poor as well. AI does not magically fix broken processes. It just makes bad data look more confident.
Charles described the role of technology around three themes: visibility, scalability and automation.
Automation removes manual work. It makes receivables finance more scalable. It supports reconciliation. It helps treasury teams manage more with fewer resources.
Only after that foundation is in place does AI become truly useful.
Charles summarised the right mindset clearly:
“People direct. AI executes.”
That is the point.
AI should help treasury professionals gather information faster, analyse patterns and support better decisions. It should not replace judgment.
For small treasury teams, this can be powerful. Less time spent collecting data. More time spent using it.
Towards the end of the webinar, we discussed a more provocative question.
Are working capital programmes real liquidity improvements, or are they sometimes just balance sheet cosmetics?
The honest answer is: both can happen.
Some programmes are used around reporting dates to improve metrics temporarily. That may look good on paper, but it does not necessarily improve the underlying business.
Bojan was clear about that risk:
“Cosmetics are real, but they shouldn’t be the reason why you did the program.”
A well-run working capital programme should create repeatable value. It should improve liquidity, reduce funding pressure, strengthen supplier or customer relationships and give the company more flexibility.
Charles brought the discussion back to one key metric: the internal cost of cash.
If a company understands its true cost of cash, it can make better decisions about early payment discounts, supplier financing, receivables finance and liquidity trade-offs.
That is when working capital moves from cosmetic reporting to real value creation.
Working capital is not just a treasury topic: It is a business topic.
Treasury may see the problem first, but it cannot solve it alone. The real value comes when treasury, procurement, sales, finance and operations work from the same playbook.
That requires visibility.
It requires shared ownership.
It requires technology that supports the process.
And most importantly, it requires treasury to be involved before the problem lands in the cash forecast.
Working capital is often described as hidden liquidity. That is true. But in many companies, the liquidity is not just hidden in receivables, payables or trapped cash.
It is hidden between departments.

From back-office function to strategic powerhouse: How modern treasury departments are reshaping corporate finance
Corporate treasury has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. Once relegated to the shadows of financial management—handling cash, monitoring liquidity, and mitigating basic risks—treasury has emerged as a critical strategic partner driving organizational success. This evolution isn’t merely an upgrade; it’s a complete reimagining of what treasury can and should deliver.
Today’s treasurers sit at the nexus of strategic decision-making, armed with real-time insights, predictive capabilities, and technological prowess that was unimaginable just a decade ago. As CFOs face mounting pressure to deliver value beyond traditional finance functions, treasurers have stepped up to become indispensable strategic advisors.
Organizations hesitating to modernize their treasury functions face existential risks in today’s volatile business landscape:
As one Fortune 500 treasurer recently noted: “Our transformation journey wasn’t optional. It was either evolve or become obsolete.”
The marriage of digital technologies with treasury operations has created unprecedented efficiencies. AI and ML algorithms now predict cash positions with remarkable accuracy, while RPA has eliminated manual processes that once consumed thousands of labor hours annually.
