AI strategy
Where AI moves the needle in your operating model — and where it is theater. Honest assessment before the build.
CFO-led AI deployment for $20M–$500M operating businesses — finance-stack agents that actually do the work, governed and audited, owned by your team after we leave. The boutique alternative to the Big-4 AI-CFO advisory pitch: practitioner-led, integrated with your existing tools (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Workday), shipped in 8–12 weeks.
AI & Agentic Operations is rarely one job. Engagements typically braid two or three sub-offers, led by the partner with the most relevant operating experience.

Specific agents for specific jobs. AP, AR, reconciliation, reporting, anomaly detection. Built for the workflow you actually have.
NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Workday — we wire agents into your existing tools, not around them.
What did the agent do? Who approved it? Where is the log? Built in, not bolted on.
Your team owns the system after we leave. Documentation, training, runbooks.
Agents drift. We maintain them on retainer where useful.
The partner who takes your first call is the partner in the room. We don't sell what we haven't run.
Two-decade operator. 50+ DTC and CPG engagements including a dozen sell-side processes. Scaled brands through Shopify Plus, retail expansion, and inventory-led growth pressure tests. Leads the consumer practice and exit-prep across $20–$100M operating brands.
Tech executive with 15+ years in transformation and IT strategy, now operating as a fractional CIO. Leads systems modernization, ERP and platform implementations, project rescue and turnaround, and the privacy-and-security build (GDPR, ISO 27001) inside operating businesses. Brings the AI and agentic-operations practice to where the operating stack actually runs — oil & gas, construction, real estate and professional services.
Reconciliation, AP routing, invoice extraction, variance detection, reporting prep, KPI compilation. The boring repeatable stuff.
Yes, when designed properly. Every agent action is logged with human-in-the-loop for material decisions.
Vendors sell horizontal products. We design agents for your specific workflows, integrated with your stack, governed by your team.
Typically 8–12 weeks to ship a first agent. Then ongoing retainer to maintain and expand.
