Copilot will never replace Excel.

In this episode of Future Finance, host Glenn Hopper talks with guest Tom Hinkle about the future of AI in finance, the role of Microsoft Copilot, and why Excel remains essential despite new innovations.

It’s where finance teams start, build, and analyze. AI will enhance it, but it won’t replace the need for strong analytical thinking.

AI is changing the workflow, but the best professionals aren’t just tool users-they're problem solvers.

Knowing how to interpret results and apply insights will always matter more than just running an algorithm.
