Expertise

Finance, data, software, AI, and operations under one roof.

We build everything from the spreadsheet behind a budget decision to the full application your team logs into every morning, including the AI agents that handle the busywork in between. The whole team is on every engagement.

Financial modeling & reporting

Budget systems, scenario models, forecasting tools, and the dashboards that sit on top. Built by people who did the same work at JP Morgan and Chevron.

Data engineering & analytics

We connect your data sources, clean them up, and build the analysis layer that answers real questions: which marketing channels are actually working, where revenue is leaking, which forecast leadership can defend.

Custom software

Full frontend-to-backend application development. We build the tools your team logs into every day: internal dashboards, client portals, and the cloud infrastructure that keeps them running across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

AI agents & tools

Custom AI agents that handle the repetitive thinking: inbox triage, document review, first-pass drafts in your voice. We build them from scratch, wire them into your existing tools, and put a human checkpoint on every action.

Workflow automation

The manual hours between systems: the Monday report pulled by hand, the approval chain in someone's inbox. We find where the time goes and hand that piece off to something that runs on its own.

Product & operations strategy

Process redesign, roadmap planning, and the organizational scaffolding that lets a growing team scale without breaking. Informed by the same frameworks built at Apple and AWS.

Case Studies

Every project starts with a team quietly absorbing work they shouldn't have to. Here's the before and after. Click any case to open the working tool.

AI ToolRIA · 4 advisors · ~200 households · $340M AUMLive Demo

Advisor Morning Brief

A four-advisor RIA running ~22 client meetings a week. Every morning each advisor opens a single URL and finds a one-page brief per meeting on the calendar. Zoom recordings auto-tag to the right client, file themselves into Wealthbox, and index transcript quotes for retrieval. Positions, drift, cash, and RMDs come from the Orion–Schwab feed through a read-only, audit-logged pipeline with account numbers masked to last-4. Ninety minutes of cross-tool prep per advisor became three minutes on one page.

MeasurementPsychiatric Inpatient · 26 beds · 2 unitsLive Demo

Morning Admission Queue

A 26-bed psychiatric inpatient facility runs a small morning tool before every 7 AM shift. An overnight integer program solves the admission assignment against the ED queue, respecting every rule the facility already enforces (1:4 acute RN ratio, 5150 holds in acute, single-sex rooms, LPS camera coverage). The charge nurse reads each proposed admission, approves it, or picks a different bed. Monthly utilization moved from a 62% baseline to a 91% six-month average. Same beds, same staff, roughly seventeen more admissions a month.

62% utilization → 91%, same beds, same staff

AutomationBoutique Pilates Group · 3 studios · ~1,400 membersLive Demo

Member Retention Queue

A three-studio boutique Pilates group, ~1,400 members, was running retention off a whiteboard. Members who quietly stopped booking went noticed only when someone remembered. Declined cards got chased in bursts. Birthdays and tenure anniversaries got missed or mass-blasted. We put a morning queue on top of Mindbody, Stripe, and Twilio — it surfaces who needs a touch today and why, and the GM approves, edits, or skips each one. Nothing sends without them. Front-desk follow-up time went from ~22 hrs/wk to a morning coffee's worth.

~22 hrs/wk of scrambled follow-up → one morning queue

Spreadsheet System$21M Construction Project

Cost Tracking Overhaul

A $21M project was being tracked across four linked workbooks that only the original creator understood. New PMs couldn't touch it without breaking something. We consolidated the whole thing into one structured workbook with a live budget dashboard any PM can pick up on day one.

Time Tracking Rollup

A 9-person boutique CPA firm tracking ~18,900 hours a year across 48 HNW clients was compiling its annual rollup by hand — an afternoon of copy-paste from 247 daily tabs, with the numbers coming out wrong often enough to need a second pass. The rebuild kept the daily-sheet habit and put a live SUMIFS rollup on top: hours by client, hours by month, billable-vs-non split, utilization against firm capacity. No new software.

AI ToolSolo Attorney · Family Law · Pasadena, CaliforniaLive Demo

Email Triage Brief

A solo family-law attorney was starting every day with 40 unread emails and two hours of manual sorting before she could touch real work. We built a system that runs automatically at 9 AM, auto-sorts the inbox against her matter list and court calendar, and drafts responses tuned to three years of her own sent mail. Morning triage dropped to fifteen minutes.

In their words, not ours.

The year-end close went from an afternoon of cross-checking handwritten timesheets to a five-minute review. I still don't fully believe it.

My inbox used to run my day. Now there's a briefing on my desktop by 6 AM with everything triaged and a first-draft response in my voice. I haven't missed a deadline since.

They didn't sell us new software. They rebuilt the Excel file we'd been limping along with for four years, and now every new PM is productive on day one.
