Fractional CFO · AI & fintech transformation
Senior finance leadership, and the technology that changes it.
Most finance functions are slower than the business they serve. I run the finance function properly, then rebuild it around tooling that keeps it that way after I leave.
AI in Finance
Finance that runs itself, built around the systems you already have.
01
Close the month faster
Reconciliations, accruals and consolidation handled by tooling built around your ledger, so the close stops depending on one person working late.
02
Release cash from working capital
Receivables, payables and inventory watched continuously, with the actions surfaced before the cash position moves.
03
Board packs that build themselves
The pack assembles from your actuals, with commentary drafted and a human review gate before anything reaches a board.
Every build is bespoke to the client’s systems. There is no product to licence and nothing to migrate to.
One partner
The person who wins the work does the work.
Built to run without me
Dependency is a failure, not a business model.
