I'm a Chartered Accountant who works AI-native. I help Australian accounting practices and in-house finance teams everywhere do the same. Train your team. Implement with you. Advise on retainer.
AI changed accounting in 18 months. Most practices are still running 2018 workflows. The ones that adapt now will own the next decade.
I cracked AI-native delivery on real Australian compliance work. BAS, IAS, super, FBT, year-end. Then on global finance work. Close, board packs, recons, vCFO support.
Now I help practices and in-house teams do the same, in their own stack, with their own standards.
If you sign off on financial work, this is for you. The compliance side is Australian-specific. The finance-team side travels.
Sole practitioners, small firms, and mid-tier practices. I help your team adopt AI without breaking your standards or your audit trail.
Controllers, FP&A leads, and finance managers in industry. I help your team work AI-native without losing audit trail or judgement.
Pick one or stack them. Most engagements start with Train, move into Implement, and graduate to Advise.
Six-week cohort. Live sessions plus labs. Your team leaves with three working AI-native workflows already running, and the muscle to build the rest themselves.
Done-with-you. I sit alongside your team for two to four weeks. We pick the workflows that hurt most. We rebuild them AI-native, in your own systems. We document everything. You own it.
Monthly retainer. Your team has a CA on call who knows AI without the hype. New tools, new methods, new use cases, new compliance updates. We meet, we ship, we move on.
This is what an Implement engagement actually feels like, week by week. Same compliance, same controls, fewer weekends.
Read-only access to your accounting system. I shadow the team for a week and document what hurts: which client takes too long, which return takes the most rework, which review meeting runs on too long.
Not ten. Three. The ones where AI changes the maths most. Usually a recon, a return prep, and a review draft. Scope written, signed off, fixed fee.
Daily working sessions. We use the AI tools your team can keep using. We write the SOP as we go. Every workflow has a CA-review checkpoint baked in.
Handover, runbook, 30 days of warranty. Most teams come back to scope the next three workflows by month two.
AI tools don't sign off. CAs do.
I'm a Chartered Accountant. Every workflow I help your team build runs through CA judgement before it touches a real ledger. AI handles the volume. I handle the judgement. Your team holds the standard.
The difference between automation that scales and automation that earns you a client refund is whether the person designing it understands what an audit defence looks like. I do. That's the entire promise.
CA-ANZ qualified. Practising. Working in Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and NetSuite for over a decade. Australian compliance is my home turf; global finance is my second.
Names changed, numbers representative, outcomes real. Three different shapes of engagement.
Two partners, six staff, 80 BAS clients per quarter. We rebuilt their BAS prep around AI-assisted GL review, automated GST reconciliation, and a CA-reviewed signoff sheet. Same compliance posture, six times the throughput.
Controller, two senior accountants. We restructured the close around AI-assisted reconciliation and commentary drafting. Same controls, fewer weekends.
Six entities, three currencies, one board pack. We built a standard drafting method on top of their existing reporting layer. Same accuracy. Half the prep time.
Whole-of-team cohort. Three live workflows shipped by week six: a payroll review pack, an FBT prep helper, and a year-end working paper drafter. The principal said it paid for itself in the first month.
For practitioners and finance staff who want to stop reading about AI and start using it on real work. Not theory. Three ways in.
All recordings, templates, and SOPs. Lifetime access. No live sessions.
Capped at 12. Live sessions, weekly labs, three workflows shipped by graduation. Includes everything in self-paced.
Same live cohort, four seats from your practice or finance team. Internal kickoff call included.
Not sure which tier? Send me a brief and I'll suggest one.
Where AI fits in compliance work. The audit-defensible posture. What to automate, what to never automate.
Bank, AR, AP, intercompany. Pattern your team can apply to any client or any entity by Friday.
BAS, IAS, GST, FBT, payroll. AU practitioners only stream. Global stream covers tax-prep equivalents.
Management reporting, board packs, year-end statements. Drafting that holds up to a partner review.
Onboarding, queries, internal review, partner sign-off. Where most of the time savings actually live.
Three workflows go live in your practice. CA-reviewed. Documented. Ready for Monday.
A Chartered Accountant working AI-native. Over a decade across Australian compliance and global finance work. The maths of the profession changed; this practice exists to help others catch up before the gap widens.
The Keen AI Accountant is how I help other practices and finance teams cross that bridge. Not by selling tools. By teaching the method, building it alongside them, and staying on call when they need a CA peer who actually uses this stuff every day.
This is not a competing accounting practice. It exists to make yours faster.
If yours isn't here, put it in the brief form. I reply within 48 hours.
No. I make the team you already have faster. I don't take on bookkeeping or compliance engagements directly. I train, I implement alongside you, and I advise. Your team owns the work.
Not the way I build them. Every workflow has a CA-review checkpoint, an evidence trail, and a documented SOP. I work the way an external auditor expects to see things working.
Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks (AU and global), NetSuite, Sage Intacct. For document handling: Dext, Hubdoc. For payments: Stripe, GoCardless. If your stack is different, tell me; the method travels.
Cohort: AUD $497 self-paced, $1,495 live, $4,995 for a team of four. Implement: fixed fee per scope, typically AUD $8,000 to $22,000. Advise: monthly retainer, AUD $3,500 to $6,500 depending on cadence. Always quoted in writing before we start.
Compliance work is Australia-only because that's where my licensure and my standards apply. Generic finance work (close, board packs, recons, vCFO support, migrations) I do for in-house finance teams anywhere. Sydney time zone is the anchor; async works for most of the build.
Read-only access to start. No data leaves your systems without your approval. The full posture is in the engagement letter and signed off before any work begins.
Paragraphs work. Bullet points work. A Loom link works. I reply within 48 hours with next steps or a direct "this isn't for me".
