    A fractional CFO who brings AI to your finance function

    Strategic finance leadership combined with AI-powered dashboards, automated board reports, and real-time financial intelligence — without the $300K+ full-time CFO cost.

    The problem

    Making big decisions without real financial intelligence

    You don't have a CFO — or your controller is doing CFO work on top of their day job. Either way, strategic finance decisions are being made on gut feel instead of data.

    Board reports take a week to prepare. By the time leadership sees the numbers, they're already outdated. Cash runway calculations live in a spreadsheet. Variance analysis is done quarterly, not in real time.

    You need someone who can deliver strategic finance insight — and you need the AI infrastructure to make it fast, accurate, and continuous.
