Short pieces on the things we actually argue about with clients: governing AI inside a finance function, building reporting a board will accept, and knowing when a growing company genuinely needs senior finance leadership.
This section is designed and empty on purpose. We would rather show you what is coming than pad the page with recycled commentary — the pieces below are drafted and publish with the full site. Nothing here is written by a machine; the irony would be difficult to survive.
Each piece answers a question we have been asked in a real board meeting or a real first call. If one of them is your question, ask us now rather than waiting for the post.
Auditors are not against automation; they are against unexplainable numbers. Here is the documentation set that turns an AI-assisted close from a finding into a footnote.
Most packs answer what happened. The credibility comes from the next layer: why, what it means for the plan, and what you are doing about it — in three pages, not thirty.
Revenue recognition, cap table hygiene, contract terms nobody read since signature. A ranked list, from processes we have had to repair under time pressure.
The single most useful artefact in a tight quarter. What goes in it, who maintains it, and the warning signs that it should already exist.
Including the cases where the right answer is to hire someone permanently and stop paying a firm like ours.
Practitioner-grade, not lead-bait. Both are the checklists we use ourselves, written so a competent finance team can run them without us.
Twenty-two questions covering what your AI tooling touches, who reviews its output, how model versions and assumptions are recorded, and what an auditor will expect to see. Written against the way audit committees actually ask.
What belongs in a monthly pack by stage, what a lead investor will ask for in diligence, and the six items companies most often discover they are missing at the worst possible moment.
Mock-up only. At launch: both checklists, plus a note when a piece publishes. Two or three emails a month, no drip sequence, one-click unsubscribe.
The slots below exist and stay empty until real engagements fill them. No invented logos, no anonymous testimonials that could have been written by anyone, no “as seen in” filler.
One page: what was true when we arrived, what we did in the first ninety days, and what changed by number. Published only with the client’s name and permission.
We would rather show two real engagements in six months than ten plausible ones today.
Attributed to a person with a title and a company. Anonymous praise is not evidence.
Every piece above started as something a founder or an owner asked a partner on a call. Thirty minutes gets you the answer without waiting for the post.
