AI training for finance & professional services

AI connected to the ledger, the spreadsheet and the document store.

Your accounting platform, your spreadsheets and your documents can now talk to AI. I train your team to make that work safely, on your own numbers, in a single session.

What I bring

Board-level credibility, with working builds to prove it.

Built with the FD in the room

I led a hands-on build with a UK commercial estate business, alongside its finance director, turning their own records into a working lease management system in one afternoon.

Three exits, one NASDAQ listing

Audit, investor reporting, forecasting and diligence are not theory to me. I have run companies through all of them.

Production, not slideware

I have built and deployed large language models in legal and public markets, and I run agentic systems in production today.

What connects today

The connectors already exist.

Claude can already connect to the systems finance teams and professional services firms run on. Connecting them is the easy part. Deciding what to connect, with which permissions, and how to check the output is the work.

What you leave with

A finance function that uses AI on day one.

Where the line sits

Confidentiality and sign-off, designed in from day one.

01

Client data stays governed

Existing permissions are respected, so gated files stay gated. Which provider sees what is agreed with you and your IT vendor before anyone gets access.

02

Every figure traceable

The working I teach keeps each number traceable to its source, so a reviewer can check it quickly.

03

Professional judgement stays human

Sign-off, regulatory responsibility and opinions stay with the qualified individual. AI drafts, checks and flags.

04

Cost and access limits

Per-user model and spend limits are set before anyone types a prompt, and pilots start small.

Who it is for

Finance leaders and the practices that serve them.

What's on offer

Training, rollout, or both.

Every engagement is scoped and quoted after the free discovery call. How each one runs is on the main page.

30 minutes, no deck, just what this would look like for your finance function or your practice.
