Three ways to work together

Every engagement is built so your team owns the result after handover. No prices on this page: the first step is a paid two-week assessment, and you get a fixed price for the work before anything is built.

1

Finance and operations automation

Closing the books, accounts payable and reporting, with AI used only where it earns its place.

  • Intercompany entries and reconciliations prepared automatically; exceptions flagged when numbers don't tie.
  • Consolidation and close checklists tracked to the day, with variance commentary drafted for review.
  • Payroll checks before anything posts; labor accruals and allocations without rework.
  • Calculations and matching rules run as tested code. AI reads documents and drafts; it doesn't do the math.

2

Data clarity

Dashboards and KPIs an owner can read in five minutes.

  • One consistent view of the numbers across every company and system you run.
  • Automated pulls from each accounting system, mapped to one common chart of accounts.
  • Cash, margin and cost-to-serve by customer, product line or plant.
  • Built on the systems you already own; it carries through any future system change.

3

Fractional CFO

A senior finance head, part-time.

  • 13-week cash flow forecasting and working-capital discipline.
  • Lender, bank and board reporting that holds up to scrutiny.
  • Sale readiness: quality of earnings, clean controls and credible numbers.
  • Pricing and margin work, budgets and GAAP governance.

Built in

Controls from day one

  • A person approves anything before it posts to the general ledger, pays anyone or leaves the company.
  • Every action is logged for audit, and any workflow can be switched off instantly.
  • Runs on accounts you own, with your data kept in your environment.
  • An AI use policy written for your business, updated as the rollout grows.

How an engagement runs

Weeks 1 to 2

Assess

Interviews with finance and operations leaders. Map every system, data source and the close calendar. Baseline days to close and error rates. Fixed price for the first wave.

First wave

Build and prove

Reporting, close and payroll automations built and run alongside today's process. Switch over when the numbers prove it. Staff trained on each workflow.

Then

Scale and hand off

Next wave from the roadmap. Department champions own the day-to-day running, with a lighter monthly advisory role.
