Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is profoundly reshaping the essence and boundaries of corporate finance work, driving finance professionals to transform from traditional accounting roles to strategic analysts and value creators. As intelligent systems gradually replace basic financial tasks, the core competencies of corporate finance professionals must be reconstructed to form a composite capability system of "technology application + business insight + strategic thinking". This paper analyzes from three dimensions: necessity, connotation, and implementation pathways, proposing that finance professionals need to focus on building five core competencies: data insight and decision-making empowerment, information technology integration and application, strategic vision and business insight, risk identification and prevention, as well as communication, collaboration, and team leadership. Through systematic capability upgrading, finance professionals can break through traditional functional limitations to become key drivers of corporate digital transformation and direct participants in value creation. The research not only provides direction for the career development of corporate finance professionals but also offers an operational framework for building finance teams. In the future, finance professionals must continuously adapt to technological changes and redefine their professional value proposition in the context of intelligent transformation.
