Hire the builder,
not a deck.
Fractional controller/CFO engagements for $5–30M companies. I stand up the stack you've seen on this site — in your company's name — automate your transactions at the source, and build the dashboards your leadership team runs the business on.

Three ways in
A controller/CFO who brings the infrastructure
The SMB Finance Stack, deployed in your company's name: Xero and Gusto as systems of record, transactions automated at the source, a governed warehouse, and AI-built leadership dashboards — run month after month.

Already on Microsoft? That's a different engagement — forward-deployed finance: I embed with your team and we ship AI-built tools on your governed Azure stack. It has its own page.

Maybe it's one dashboard, one automation, or a second opinion on your close. A working session finds the smallest version that pays for itself — and we go from there.

A short, free look at your close
Your systems, your close calendar, where the manual work lives. You leave with an honest read on what's automatable and what it's worth — whether or not we work together.
Transactions coded at the source
The stack goes in — or your current one gets tuned. Bank feeds and rules, spend and receipt capture, AR and payments. The ledger largely writes itself; exceptions get reviewed instead of keyed.
The reports your leadership team actually runs on
Cash, KPIs, AR, the income statement — built with AI on your governed data, behind your team's own sign-in. Then any report you want, because the data's already modeled.
An ongoing fractional cadence
The close, the forecast, the board reporting — month after month. Your company owns every account; I keep the whole thing running and improving.
Try before you buy — right now
Nothing on this site is a mockup. The dashboards run in your browser on synthetic data, and the architectures are the actual blueprints I deploy. Open them and judge the work directly. The process side has a track record too — I've cut a multibillion-dollar restaurant chain's close from 14 days to 4.
Forward Deployed CPA is where I publish the work. Client engagements are delivered through my advisory practice, Hundred Spires Advisory. Platform infrastructure typically runs $100–300/month in your company's name; advisory fees are scoped in the working session — no surprises, no long-term lock-in.
