Step 1

Master 2-3 AI tools deeply: ChatGPT/Claude API for text analysis, Python for data processing, and one specialized tool (e.g., automated reporting with Power BI + AI). Get certifications: Google AI, AWS Machine Learning, or Coursera's AI for Finance.

Step 2

Build 3-5 demo projects: automated financial report generator, AI-powered expense categorizer, customer sentiment analysis dashboard, fraud detection prototype. Document these as detailed case studies with ROI metrics.

Step 3

▼ Read step

Write LinkedIn articles on AI in finance (weekly). Speak at fintech meetups. Create a professional website showcasing your projects. Target a specific niche: 'AI automation for European accounting firms' is more powerful than 'AI consultant'.
