What does it take to integrate effective AI tools in financial analytics? Exploring the financial sector, Gaby Lahoud found that conventional accounting practices needed more flexibility for modern challenges and needed to be more confining for his innovative spirit. This discovery led him to establish Be Certified Pro LLC and Serenity Advisors LLC, diving deep into financial analytics.

Gaby noted a big problem in how companies used technology in their financial planning. Despite heavy investments in ERP systems, many still preferred the old way of doing things with tools like Excel, which caused inefficiencies. Eager to fill this gap, Gaby brought sophisticated financial modeling into his practice, dramatically improving how firms make decisions.

He simplifies complex financial models with clear explanations, making sure everyone understands. Gaby stresses the importance of using good data and the right AI commands to benefit fully from today's technology. He often says, "Garbage in, garbage out," highlighting that output quality depends entirely on the quality of input. Also, Gaby believes in the power of external perspectives to avoid getting lost in details and to ensure data is well-organized and accessible.
