Two Paths Into AI × Finance
Whether the goal is sharper desk work or a career building AI systems, Grounds has a structured path.
AI Expert
For finance professionals who want to apply AI to real workflows, modeling, diligence, research, and memo-writing, and earn on Qofi engagements.
AI Forward-Deployed Engineer
For technical builders who want to deploy AI inside financial institutions, context graphs, agents, and the harness Qofi runs on live workflows.
Six Courses. One Complete Pipeline.
Each course is self-contained, project-based, and built around the workflows finance teams actually run.
AI Foundations for Finance
How the models work, where they break on financial tasks, and the mental model for using them with rigor rather than blind trust.
Prompting for Financial Reasoning
The prompt patterns behind valuation, diligence, and analysis, with a library of tested prompts to adapt to any desk.
Modeling and Analysis With AI
Build, stress, and audit financial models with AI in the loop, multi-case sensitivities, exit scenarios, and review.
Building Evaluation Sets
Design rubrics and benchmarks that measure whether a model reasons like a practitioner, the core of frontier finance data.
Agents and Workflow Automation
Wire tool-calling agents into real finance pipelines, retrieval, document generation, and integrations that hold up.
Deploying Inside Institutions
Take a pipeline from prototype to production behind the firewall, security, governance, and change management.
Taught by Operators, Not Theorists
Every lesson is built and delivered by people who have run these workflows on real deals and shipped AI inside financial institutions.
A decade advising on multi-billion-dollar transactions, now building the AI workflows that compress diligence and modeling.
Led value-creation across portfolio companies; teaches how AI agents fit into investment workflows end to end.
Ships context graphs and agents inside banks and funds; covers the technical path from prototype to production.
What Graduates Walk Away With
200+ tested prompts for valuation, diligence, research, and memo-writing, ready to adapt to any desk.
End-to-end project builds, from a graded eval set to a deployed workflow agent, kept as portfolio work.
A completion credential and a direct route to apply to the Qofi expert network and its engagements.
What Our Students Say
“The prompting course alone changed how the whole team approaches diligence. It paid for itself in a week.”
“As an engineer new to finance, the FDE track gave me the domain context I was missing to ship something useful.”
“Finished the bundle, applied to the network, and started on a paid engagement two weeks later.”
Common Questions
Who is Qofi Grounds for?
Finance professionals who want to apply AI to their work, and technical builders who want the finance domain context to deploy AI inside institutions. No prior AI experience is required for the AI Expert track.
Do the courses require coding?
The AI Expert track requires no coding, it is prompt- and workflow-focused. The Forward-Deployed Engineer track is technical and assumes comfort with code and APIs.
How long does the bundle take to complete?
The full curriculum is roughly 40 lessons. Most students finish in four to eight weeks at a few hours per week, but access is lifetime and self-paced.
Is access really lifetime?
Yes. A single payment grants lifetime access to every current course, the full prompt library, and all future updates to the bundle.
Does finishing guarantee a role on the Qofi network?
No. Grounds is educational. Completion gives a credential and a direct route to apply, but every applicant still goes through the standard vetting process, and no outcome is guaranteed.
What is the refund policy?
Because course materials are delivered digitally and immediately, sales are final. See the Terms & Conditions for the full policy.
