AI-Powered Strategic Budgeting: Optimizing Resources for Enterprises from Startups to Global Giants is a comprehensive guide crafted for finance professionals, IT leaders, and business strategists navigating the evolving fiscal landscape of 2025 and beyond. Written from the perspective of late 2025, the book synthesizes historical budgeting wisdom with cutting-edge AI innovations, offering actionable frameworks scalable across startups, SMEs, and global multinationals. Structured in five parts across 12 chapters, it blends practical blueprints, real-world case studies, and forward-looking trends-supported by over 130 verified sources-to transform budgeting from a static exercise into a dynamic, strategic tool. This book delivers six core benefits: Efficiency (30-50% faster cycles), Accuracy (20-40% fewer errors), Risk Resilience (20-30% exposure cuts), Strategic Alignment (25% better execution), Scalable Optimization (15-25% margin gains), and Future-Proofing (2x ROI on emerging tech). For CFOs and IT leaders, from startup scrambles to global giants, it is essential because it scales seamlessly-offering lean tools for startups (Chapter 8) and federated AI for multinationals (Chapter 9)-backed by cases like Shopify and GE. Misalignment costs 20-30% value (McKinsey 2025), making this actionable guide-complete with diagrams, checklists, and a glossary-a compass for breakthrough budgets.
