KPMG finds 76% of firms use AI for financial planning

Business Aug 06, 2026

KPMG's report says 76% of firms now use AI for financial planning, a huge jump for the finance world.

But just having AI isn't enough; companies need to actually build it into their decision-making and set up solid rules for how it's used.

Firms' limited AI training, messy data

Here's the catch: only 38% of companies are training their teams to work with AI, and even fewer are hiring new talent or updating roles for these changes.

Plus, a lot of firms struggle with messy data: 36% say better data integration is key to making AI really work.
