I run a structured 4-week diagnostic that quantifies where your planning, forecasting, and reporting are failing to deliver decisions — and hands back a costed plan to fix it. Then, if you want, I build it.
I don't sell hours. I sell a diagnosis and a build. Everything else is a conversation, not a service line.
A structured 4-week diagnostic of your finance function. I pull your numbers, trace your systems, quantify where the function is failing to deliver decisions, and hand back a costed action plan. Eligible for 50% Fit 4 AI co-financing in Luxembourg.
Start the DiagnosticI build or redesign your planning, forecasting, and business partnering capability so that finance becomes a decision-making engine rather than a reporting function. For companies that have completed the Diagnostic — or already know their FP&A is underdeveloped. You own what I leave behind.
Discuss a Build-OutEvery engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. I won't sell you a diagnostic if you need a build, or a build if you need a diagnosis.
Book Your Free Discovery CallI start with the decision your leadership needs to make, then tear down to where the system is failing to deliver it.
One conversation with the CEO, CFO, or Managing Director, anchored on the management report they already send the board. I ask which numbers they trust, which they mentally adjust before acting, which questions the report consistently fails to answer, and what they wish they could see. The end defines everything that follows.
I speak with the people who actually build the report — finance managers, analysts, controllers. I map every system the data touches, every manual copy-paste-reconcile step, every number that lives in someone's personal file. I always end with one question: what breaks when one specific person is on holiday? The answer is usually the highest-priority finding.
Independent analysis — no more client meetings. Every finding is a precise, quantified statement. Not "the close process has inefficiencies" but "the monthly close takes 12 working days; 4 people spend 60% of their time on it — approximately 480 hours per month — for a report that arrives too late to influence the decisions it supports." Fluffy findings don't survive this layer.
A prioritization matrix (impact × effort) and a sequenced, costed action plan. Every recommendation has an owner, a timeline, a cost, and a conservative ROI. I also tell you explicitly what not to spend money on — the bottom-right quadrant is where most consulting quietly hides. The final page names one number: the conservative annual value to your business if you execute the priority items.
AI does not compute financial truth — it explains it.
I'm an accredited Fit 4 AI partner at the House of Entrepreneurship. If your company qualifies as a Luxembourg SME, the government pays 50% of the diagnostic fee.
Fit 4 AI is a Chamber of Commerce programme that co-finances AI readiness and transformation work for eligible SMEs. The DBX Finance Diagnostic meets its scope: data, systems, process, and a prioritized roadmap.
Eligibility is a short conversation — company size, sector, prior aid received — which I'll walk you through before anything starts. No eligibility, no diagnostic contract, no invoice.
Practical thinking on AI in finance, FP&A best practices, and the future of financial intelligence.
Every financial decision in a company flows through FP&A. That's exactly why it's the highest-leverage place to start your AI transformation journey — and where the ROI is most visible.
Read Article →Not every company is ready to deploy AI in finance — and that's okay. Here's how to assess your readiness honestly and build the foundation that makes AI actually work.
Read Article →Most SMEs outgrow their finance setup before they realize it. Here's a practical framework for building financial infrastructure that grows with your business — from startup to scale-up.
Read Article →I've spent fifteen years building at the intersection of technology and finance — across three continents, multiple industries, and the better part of a decade leading FP&A and AI transformation inside one of the world's most rigorously data-driven companies. I went independent because most finance consulting is designed to last, not to finish. I work on fixed scope, fixed fee, and I work alone — which means the person who designed the work is the same one who delivers it.
Whether you're a startup building your first finance function, an SME ready to embrace AI, or a corporate looking for strategic finance advisory — I'd love to hear about your challenges.
