Why Now
The Foundation
Your value came from delivering accurate numbers, reports, and analysis.
The Next Level, with AI
AI can produce those outputs faster. Your value now lies in validating the results, understanding what they mean for the business, and recommending what to do next.
Using AI well is now part of the job, and it comes down to two skills.
Skill 01
Know which tasks AI can automate, then set up your own AI assistants for them, loaded with the context they need to do the work well.
Skill 02
Verify and refine what AI produces, then present it as a recommendation senior management understands and can act on.
You practise both in every module, building AI assistants that take over the routine work so you spend more of your time on analysis and advice.
Your Progression
After your first few years in finance, moving toward FP&A and more strategic roles means going beyond your own function: understanding how the numbers connect, what drives business performance, and how to turn analysis into better decisions.
Where you are today
Starting point A
You've built deep expertise in AP, AR, treasury, or tax compliance. Now you want to understand how your work connects to cash flow, profitability, and decisions across the business.
Starting point B
You work across accounting, reporting, or FP&A. You know how the numbers come together. Now you want to go deeper into what drives performance, evaluate trade-offs, and help shape business decisions.
What this program adds
Where you'll be
Connect the dots across finance functions and turn numbers into business decisions.
Understand how financial performance, cash flow, funding, and tax implications fit together. Learn to evaluate business scenarios, challenge assumptions, and make recommendations you can defend. Use AI to accelerate the analysis, so you can focus more on the judgment behind every decision.
What You'll Build With AI
Four examples of the AI assistants you build during the program and keep using at work afterwards. No coding needed, and you check every answer before it goes to anyone.
“Which funding option should we pick?”
ExampleAn AI analyst set up with your group structure. You ask it what-if funding questions and it shows the NPV and IRR calculations, flagging tax and legal issues along the way.
“What does the regulation say?”
ExampleAn assistant that answers only from the regulations you load into it, and cites the exact article so you can check every answer yourself.
“How did we do this month, and why?”
ExampleAI drafts variance commentary from your actuals and budget. You review each line against the source before it goes to management.
“Is this intercompany deal safe?”
ExampleAn assistant that holds the accounting, tax and legal rules for group transactions. You give it a new deal and it checks it against each of them, so the risks are flagged before the deal reaches the CFO.
Illustrative screens. You build each assistant yourself during the program, with no coding needed.
What Makes It Different
Weeks 8 to 10
Most Indonesian groups and conglomerates move money between their own companies all the time (loans, equity injections, management fees). Whether you've never handled one or only seen your piece of it, you learn to work through them end to end.
Financial statements, corporate finance, modelling, Indonesian tax and the regulations that shape group transactions, taught in one program. So you can contribute to the whole decision, including the parts outside your own team.
Each module puts AI to work on its own finance problem. You run funding scenarios with your own AI analyst, research tax rules with cited sources, audit an AI-built forecast line by line, and rehearse your recommendation against an AI playing a sceptical CFO.
Accounting and tax lectures come from FEB UI and FIA UI, including a Professor of Fiscal Administration and a lecturer who started his career as a tax examiner at the Directorate General of Taxation before becoming a licensed tax attorney. Case workshops and mentoring are led by finance leaders who've worked at GoTo, Deloitte, PwC and McKinsey.
Credential
Graduate with a credential from Indonesia's #1 university, earned through a capstone graded by UI faculty.
Issued by Universitas Indonesia once you complete the program requirements, including your capstone.
Receive it at graduation on campus with your cohort, or join online if you can't attend in person.
Curriculum
Most weeks pair a lecture with a case workshop or simulation, so you use each idea on an Indonesian business case, with and without AI, the same week you learn it.
Kickoff · Module 1
Week 1
Read a company's financials the way a manager does, and set up how you'll work with AI for the rest of the program.
By the end you can: read any company's financials and explain the business story behind them.
In class: A practitioner reads an anonymised Indonesian company's financials live and talks through what they look at first. You run the same ratios by hand and with AI, then compare which red flags each one caught.
Module 2
Weeks 2 to 3
Compare funding options on cost, then again once tax and legal are added, with AI running the what-if scenarios, and pitch a capital plan.
By the end you can: compare funding options and defend a capital plan to a CFO.
In class: Rank three funding options on finance grounds, then again with tax and legal added. In week 3 you pitch a 3-year capital plan to a Group CFO who questions your tax rationale and cash flow timing. You rehearse it first against an AI playing the CFO.
Module 3
Week 4
Indonesian tax as it affects business decisions, taught by FIA UI faculty, and how to research it with AI that cites its sources.
By the end you can: spot the tax risk in a transaction and know when to bring in a specialist.
In class: Three intercompany structures go on the table. You work out which one the Directorate General of Taxation would look at first, and what documents it would ask for.
Module 4
Week 5
How AI behaves on finance tasks, where it fails, and what you never hand over to it.
By the end you can: give AI the context finance work needs and catch its mistakes.
In class: Pick a recurring task from your own job. Run it with a bare prompt and again with full context, then audit both outputs against the source data.
Module 5
Weeks 6 to 7
Build a three-statement model by hand and with AI, and learn to tell when a model can't be trusted.
By the end you can: build a three-statement model and present a forecast leadership trusts.
In class: Build a 3-year model by hand, have AI build the same one, and compare line by line. Then find the three errors hidden in an AI-generated forecast and explain how you found them.
Module 6 · Signature
Weeks 8 to 10
Shareholder loans, equity injections and management fees across accounting, tax and legal, including the cases where they disagree.
By the end you can: structure intercompany transactions that hold up on accounting, tax and legal grounds.
In class: Map the same transactions across accounting, tax and legal in a decision matrix, then argue a multi-entity case where each lens points to a different answer. An AI assistant loaded with your rulebook carries over from week to week, and argues the opposite call so you have to defend yours.
Capstone · Defend
Weeks 11 to 12
Coaching on your weakest lens, then you submit your recommendation and defend it to a panel.
By the end you can: defend a multi-entity recommendation to a panel.
In class: Rehearse your pitch against an AI “sceptical CFO” loaded with your mentor's feedback, then present it for real.
Graduation
Week 13
Selected capstones presented on campus and the certificate handover with your cohort.
By the end you can: present on the UI campus and receive your certificate.
In class: A hybrid session on the UI campus, open to the whole cohort.
Capstone Project · Weeks 11 to 13
Choose one of 2–3 Indonesian multi-entity company cases we provide, each from a different industry, and use your AI team to build a recommendation you defend to a panel.
Choose one of 2–3 multi-entity company cases, each from a different industry. Your mentor, matched in week 7, helps you scope it.
An AI-built model you audit yourself, an accounting, tax and legal review, and a log of the AI errors you caught. Two coaching sessions in week 11.
Submit your recommendation in week 11, then pitch it to a panel of UI faculty and practitioners in week 12.
Selected capstones are presented to panelists and UI faculty on graduation day, followed by the certificate handover.
Companies can run the program as a dedicated cohort for their own finance team. Talk to us about schedule and pricing.
How You'll Learn
A hybrid program for working professionals. Live online sessions on weekday evenings, with graduation day on the UI campus.
Week 13 closes the program with graduation day, capstone presentations and the certificate ceremony at the UI campus. You can also join online if you can't attend in person.
Live lectures and workshops, taught in real time. Short pre-recorded lectures from UI faculty open most modules, and every session is recorded so you can catch up.
Tuesday & Thursday, 19.30–21.30 WIB
You're matched with a mentor from industry in Week 7, so there's someone to ask when you're stuck. There are two coaching sessions in Week 11 before your panel defense.

FAQ
Ideal for individuals with a foundational understanding of finance or accounting, typically backed by two or more years of relevant experience. That includes specialists in AP, AR, treasury or tax, generalists such as finance executives, general accountants and FP&A analysts, and people aiming to move to a larger group of companies.
No. You learn tax and legal as lenses for business decisions, enough to spot the risk in a deal, ask the right questions and know when to bring in a specialist. The program doesn't prepare you to file tax returns or give legal advice.
AI is part of every lecture and workshop. You start with free AI tools and move to Claude Pro, included from week 5. In most tasks you do the work yourself first, then with AI, and check where the two differ against the source. You always review what it produces.
Plan for around 6 hours a week, more during the capstone weeks. Every live session is recorded.
Upon completing the program requirements, you'll receive a certificate issued by Universitas Indonesia, presented at the graduation ceremony on the UI campus. If you can't attend in person, you can join the ceremony online.
Yes, if you plan to move to a larger group. Around a quarter of the program covers multi-entity structures and intercompany transactions, which is the work larger groups and conglomerates expect from their finance teams.
Yes. Company sponsorship is one of the payment options, and we can invoice your company directly. Talk to us if you're sending several people from the same team.
