AI Consulting & Automation

AI that pays for itself — built by people who know your numbers.

Most AI consultants have never closed a set of books. We run our own firm on AI every day — and as CPAs, we know exactly where your time and money go. We find the automation that pays off, build it, and prove the ROI before you spend a dollar on it.

LedgerPilot — Live AI-assisted close, reviewed by a CPA.

Flat retainers from $595/mo. Your bookkeeper keeps the books — we deliver the intelligence and automation layer on top.

What You Get

Your entire monthly finance cycle, run for you.

Five things every owner wants from their finance function, delivered as one connected monthly system — reviewed by a CPA before anything reaches you.

1 · Data In

Clean books, every month

AI-assisted transaction review and categorization QA keeps your books accurate and your close on schedule.

2 · Close

A close that happens in days

Close flags and a checklist that surface what's missing — so month-end wraps in days, not weeks.

3 · Understand

Numbers that make sense

A plain-English narrative report each month: what happened, why, and the questions a CFO would ask.

4 · See Ahead

Cash visibility 13 weeks out

A rolling forecast updated twice monthly with alerts — you plan the crunch instead of getting surprised by it.

5 · Get Paid

Invoices that get paid faster

An AR collections agent drafts polite, escalating follow-ups from your aging report. You approve, it sends.

How It Starts

Three steps, no leap of faith.

Step 1 · Free

Initial consultation

A free intro call. You tell us how your business runs; we tell you honestly whether AI can help — and where. No pitch, no obligation.

Step 2

AI Opportunity Review

$499

A focused working session on your operations, then a written roadmap: what to automate, what it saves, and what it costs — with ROI estimates for each.

Fully credited against setup if you join
Step 3

Your monthly retainer

We run your finance cycle every month. One-time setup $749 (the $499 review counts toward it); 3-month minimum, then month-to-month.

Pricing

Flat monthly retainers. No hourly surprises.

A part-time bookkeeper costs $2,000+/mo and a controller $8,000+. Every plan below costs less than either — and thinks harder than both.
