Where we work

Four practices, one standard: senior people doing the work, not just advising on it.

01

Operations & Execution

Fractional COO and Chief of Staff leadership. We build the operating cadence, KPIs, and accountability that turn strategy into results.

  • Integration planning
  • Day-1 readiness
  • Synergy tracking
04

AI Strategy & Implementation

Move from experimentation to production. We identify high-value workflows, implement enterprise AI and automation, and build the governance and operating capability for your team to run it.

  • Workflow prioritization
  • Production AI & automation
  • Governance & enablement

How we engage

The discipline of a global consultancy, without the pyramid. You work directly with senior practitioners from day one.

01

Diagnose

A focused assessment of where value is being lost and what it will take to capture it, in weeks, not months.

02

Embed

We work inside your organization alongside your leaders and implement the solution, rather than handing over recommendations.

03

Transfer

Your team takes ownership of the workflows, playbooks, and know-how to run it after we step back.

Diagnose→Embed→Transfer. We don't stop at recommendations.

AI in practice

Practical AI that pays for itself: real workflows, measurable economics, running in production, and owned by the client's team.

Finance operations

Automated Cash Reconciliation

Automated a client's cash-receipts and bank-reconciliation process, replacing a $2,500/month outsourced accounting workflow. We implemented the solution and enabled the client's accounting team to run it internally, reducing cost and processing time while giving more timely visibility into cash.

AI-Powered Invoice & Margin Reconciliation

Built an AI-enabled workflow that matches incoming customer payments to outstanding invoices, including complex payments covering multiple invoices that were hard to reconcile manually. It also tracks PO utilization, remaining balances, and engagement margins, updating financials automatically as payments are processed.
