01 ConsultTransform & Design

Before We Operate, We Help You
Get The Foundation Right

Most growing companies don't have broken finance - they have finance that was never designed. We help you move from ad-hoc to architected, so every dollar, every process, and every report has a home.

Finance Operations Assessment

We audit your current state - processes, systems, controls, team structure, and reporting. Not a generic checklist. A practitioner-led assessment that maps exactly where you are and where the gaps are, scored across 15 maturity dimensions.

ERP & System Selection

Still on QuickBooks when you need NetSuite? Running Sage Intacct but only using 30% of its capabilities? We help you evaluate, select, and plan the right system - and more importantly, the right configuration for your stage and complexity.

Process Design & Documentation

Most early-stage finance teams run on tribal knowledge. We design documented, repeatable workflows - AP processing, month-end close, reconciliation cadence, approval hierarchies - so your operations survive when people change roles or leave.

Controls & Governance Framework

Investors and auditors expect segregation of duties, approval matrices, and documented controls. We build the governance framework - from basic internal controls to SOX-readiness - scaled to where you are today with a path to where you're heading.

Not Sure Where To Start?

Most engagements begin with a 2-week diagnostic. We look at your close process, your AP workflow, your chart of accounts, your reporting stack, and your team structure - and give you a clear, prioritized roadmap. No commitment to buy anything else. Just clarity.

From Transactional To Strategic

03 Amplify: Amplified By GenieWorks.ai

Experience First.
AI-Amplified.

We didn't build AI and go looking for problems. We spent seven years in the trenches of finance operations - then built intelligence tools that make our experienced team even more effective. Not just automation - optimization, risk detection, and connected intelligence that learns from every transaction.

Invoice Genie

AI-powered invoice extraction, 3-way PO matching, and exception handling - reducing touchless processing time by 80%.

Smart Risk Detection

Automated duplicate detection, variance flagging, and compliance checks before invoices hit your ERP.

Connected Intelligence

Every invoice processed makes the next one smarter. Vendor patterns, GL coding suggestions, and CPI clause recognition - all learned from your data.
