Ref. 01AThe Work

Finance, data, and AI systems built around how your business works.

Finance, reporting, and AI workflow support for small and midsize businesses. Based in Augusta, with senior expertise available on a project or fractional basis.

Ref. 01BThe Principle

AI is an unbelievable tool. It also needs the right context, the right scope, and the right hands.

We bring all three. The diagnosis of what’s actually worth automating. The discipline to keep the implementation small. The operator’s eye for whether the thing we built is going to survive contact with a real workday.

Ref. 02The Reframe

Most service businesses don’t have a data problem. They have a visibility problem.

The data exists. It’s trapped in seven different places: the field app, the billing system, the spreadsheet one person knows how to update, the email chain where the decisions actually get made.

FinData connects source information, reporting, and automation around the decisions your team makes. We start with the existing systems, resolve the gaps that matter, and build a process people can run.

Operator Truths
  • “You shouldn’t have to wait three weeks to know what last month looked like.”
  • “Your forecast shouldn’t live in one analyst’s laptop.”
  • “Your dispatch data shouldn’t require a human to reconcile it every Friday.”
Ref. 03The Catalog

Methodology

How we work

Async-first engagements. No standing Zoom calls. Scoped work, visible progress, finished deliverables. Most engagements run 4–12 weeks. Retainers available.

Step 01

Intake questionnaire

We define the problem in writing. No discovery calls.

Step 02

Written diagnostic

Analysis and recommendations delivered as a document.

Step 03

Scoped proposal

Fixed deliverables, defined timeline, transparent pricing.

Step 04

Execution

Async check-ins and Loom walkthroughs for every deliverable.

Ref. 05The Difference

Practical experience, applied to your business.

01
Principle 01

The operator bridge

We connect the financial view with how work gets done. Reporting and automation are designed around the people using them, the source systems they rely on, and the decisions they need to make.

02
Principle 02

Senior expertise, fractional footprint

Hands-on finance, business intelligence, and marketing analytics leadership across tax, accounting, and software businesses. Experience building teams, reporting, and workflows around the decisions people need to make.

03
Principle 03

Connected systems

Finance, reporting, data, and AI designed to work together. Shared definitions, visible ownership, and a repeatable process from source information to action.

04
Principle 04

Async by design

Scoped work, fixed deliverables, no retainer padding. No standing Zoom calls. No status meetings that should have been emails.

Ref. 06The Model

A spreadsheet is software. We build it that way.

Financial models, operational workbooks, and decision tools scoped around the decision you need to make. Built with the structure of real software: documented, auditable, handoff-ready. Operated by the people who didn’t build them.

Most business-critical spreadsheets are held together by one person’s memory. When that person leaves, the model leaves. When the business grows, the model breaks. When someone new needs to use it, training takes weeks.

We build the opposite. Real structure. Clean interfaces anyone can run. Logic that survives handoff. Speed without shortcuts. Most of what we build started as a conversation about a spreadsheet someone was afraid to change, and ended as something a new hire could use on day one.

What We Build
  • 01Financial models. FP&A, forecasting, scenario planning, cash flow.
  • 02Operational workbooks. Job costing, route profitability, margin analysis, capacity planning.
  • 03Decision tools. Pricing calculators, bid estimators, scenario comparators.
  • 04Real-time workflows. Live calculations, reconciliation engines, operator-facing interfaces.
  • 05Common reporting datasets. Workday, multiple QuickBooks companies, Sage, and other finance systems consolidated into Airtable, Snowflake, or Power Platform for BI and AI model analysis.
Built To
  • Scale without breaking when the data does.
  • Run without the builder in the room.
  • Hand off cleanly to non-technical operators.
  • Audit cleanly when something goes wrong.
What this can look like

An operational workbook with a clear interface. Detailed calculations behind the scenes. Clear inputs, visible exceptions, and practical instructions for the next person who uses it.

The scope determines the timeline. Reusable patterns and written delivery help keep the work focused, with assumptions, controls, and handoff included from the start.

Ref. 07 · AI agents, tools & processes

Give AI a useful job.
Build a process you can trust.

AI can prepare reports, work across apps, and keep recurring tasks moving. FinData helps you choose the right tools, connect the right information, and turn that capability into a dependable part of the workday.

01 / Ask

Get an answer

Ask a question, explore an idea, or improve a draft. You direct each next step.

02 / Delegate

Get a finished task

Give an agent a defined result, such as a report built from several files. It works through the steps and returns something to review.

03 / Assign

Keep a process moving

Give an ongoing assistant a responsibility, a schedule or supported trigger, and clear limits. It follows up and brings you exceptions.

Meet the assistants that keep working.

dots and Grok Bot bring ongoing work into focus. The practical starting point is one clear responsibility with information it can access and an owner who checks the result.

ChatGPT dots

An ongoing assistant that keeps context, works across connected tools, and brings back results or decisions that need you. Its cloud work can continue while your computer is off.

Example assignment: prepare a weekly cash brief from approved reports and flag missing inputs.

Gradual rollout to eligible accounts. Connected apps and local-computer work have separate access requirements.

Official ChatGPT dots guide

Grok Bot

Named AI teammates that carry out work across apps and websites on a persistent cloud computer. Skills and routines help repeat a process once it has been checked.

Example assignment: assemble a follow-up queue and leave customer messages ready for review.

Plan and connection requirements apply. Bots within one account share a computer and its app logins.

Official Grok Bot guide
