Prompt Engineering Best Practices for Financial Modeling using AI

Master the art of AI-powered financial analysis in one intensive day.
from fundamentals to advanced financial applications.
Course Description
This intensive 1-day course equips finance professionals with practical prompt engineering skills for AI-assisted financial modeling using Claude AI. Through hands-on workshops and real-world case studies, participants will learn to craft effective prompts for DCF analysis, LBO modeling, 3-statement models, comparable company analysis, and more — transforming how they approach financial analysis workflows.
4 Sessions: Structured progression from prompt engineering fundamentals through advanced multi-model financial workflows
3 Workshops: Hands-on exercises building real financial models with guided prompt engineering practice
1 Day: Comprehensive 9 AM – 5 PM intensive covering zero-shot basics to advanced multi-model strategies
What is Claude?
Claude is a next-generation AI assistant and family of large language models (LLMs) developed by Anthropic, designed to be safe, accurate, and highly performant in reasoning, coding, and analysis. Known for its “helpful, honest, and harmless” approach, Claude is a popular alternative to ChatGPT, often used for complex tasks, creative writing, and processing long documents.

Trainer Profile
Purwadi Nitimidjojo
the trainer, started his financial modelling career in early 2005 after working for Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA / BPPN) during the monetary crisis from 1998 through 2004. At IBRA’s Credit Risk Management Division he developed various financial models for debt restructuring and corporate restructuring and learned that most of IBRA’s large debtors hired foreign financial consultants to develop financial models as they didn’t have any resources who could develop proper financial models, and financial modelling training courses were not available back then. This is when he saw an opportunity to deliver financial modelling training courses and develop best-practice financial models for clients in various industries in Jakarta.
In early 2005 Purwadi teamed up with two of his friends and used “Edward, Farral & Peterson” and “Edward & Peterson” as their brands to provide monthly public training courses and financial modelling services until early 2012 before he was hired by Deloitte Financial Advisory as a Financial Modelling Director to do the same. At Deloitte he and his financial modelling team developed best-practice financial models for his clients in various industries for various purposes and delivered monthly financial modelling and Power BI training courses for the public, clients, and Deloitte’s internal staff in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia.
After spending 10 years working for Deloitte, he returned to his own financial modelling business and is now working as a financial modelling subcontractor for BDO and Deloitte as well as an independent private financial modelling consultant and trainer.
