Finance & AI sparring partner

AI Coaching.

I've built and run finance teams for 20 years. Over the past two years I put 1,000+ hours into building automations with AI, in my own finance work first.

Three formats, one principle: you apply AI to your own work instead of watching someone demo it.

Three formats

From one hour to four weeks. Same person, same way of working.

"I came to Thomas already AI-active in finance - ChatGPT, Claude Cowork, several Gems active on our Google Workspace, Lovable. Then he showed me Claude Code, and that was a whole different league. He turned a CFO into a coder.

Two new projects launched right after our first session (and a knowledge bot for our NGO, Female Finance Circle, set up by him - many thanks!).

What makes Thomas rare: deep expertise paired with the calm to make the technical side feel safe - and genuinely fun. The bigger shift isn't the tools, it's how I now think about what a finance team can build itself."

"What sets Thomas apart is the combination of deep domain knowledge in accounting, tax and FP&A with the ability to zoom out and think strategically about what can and should be automated with AI.

He doesn't ask you to rebuild everything from scratch. He looks at your existing system landscape and finds the process and insight improvements that are already within reach."

"Thomas combines decades of hands-on CFO experience with a genuine hunger to transform how finance professionals work with AI. What makes him rare is that he doesn't just talk about the future of finance, he helps you get there.

Working with Thomas shaped how I think about AI in my own finance organization, from strategy down to where to actually start. Deeply knowledgeable, but also a natural educator who meets you where you are."
