A nightly reconciliation with exceptions surfaced, not buried
Finance Operations Pod
Monthly close moved from weeks to days.
Finance operations breaks quietly: a reconciliation that takes three days, a close that lands mid-month, cash visibility that arrives too late to act on. The Finance Operations Pod puts a senior operator on the process and an AI layer on the repetitive matching underneath it.
Human layer
- Finance operations lead — fractional
- Reconciliation analyst — dedicated to you
AI layer
- Reconciliation agent — matches ledgers to settlements nightly
- Variance explainer — drafts the “why” behind every movement
- Collections agent — schedules and drafts follow-ups
The AI layer does not replace the human layer. It removes the work that never deserved a human in the first place, so senior time goes to decisions.

Contracted first outcome
Monthly close moved from weeks to days. It is written into the engagement, reviewed weekly and reported on monthly.
How it starts
Four steps. No hiring cycle.
Step 1
Start with a problem
Not a job description. We scope the business problem and the outcome that proves it solved.
Step 2
Get matched
A named lead and a team shaped to that problem — not a CV pile to filter.
Step 3
Execute from day one
The pod arrives pre-formed with playbooks. Ramp is days, not months.
Step 4
Track weekly
A weekly review, a monthly outcome report, a quarterly re-baseline.
