You know the routine. Download files. Fix formats. Copy formulas. Chase missing data. Then do it all again next month.

While your team assembles the numbers, the questions keep coming: What changed? Where did the margin go? Can we see the latest report?

MEET THE PERSON BEHIND THE LAB

Hi, I’m Arthur Lai.

Founder · Finance AI Productivity Lab

I bring around 10 years of finance analysis experience across supply chain finance and FP&A, with hands-on experience in rebate reporting and Excel process improvement.

I understand the work behind the numbers: checking variances, reconciling data and getting reports ready for decision-makers. My focus is practical automation that respects those financial controls.

BEFORE WE TALK

A little more clarity.

Do we need new software?+

Not necessarily. Excel and Power Query may be enough. Any paid tool and subscription costs are discussed before you commit.

Can you automate all of our finance work?+

The standard Sprint covers one agreed reporting workflow. Additional processes, integrations or complex data cleanup are scoped separately.

Will you need our confidential finance data?+

Begin with approved sample or synthetic data where possible. Required access, confidentiality and data-handling arrangements are agreed before implementation. Please don’t submit financial records through this form.

Do you guarantee a specific number of hours saved?+

No. We measure the agreed process before and after implementation. Actual savings depend on your source data, process complexity and existing systems.

What if the agreed functionality isn’t delivered?+

The service agreement defines acceptance criteria, dependencies and a remediation period at no additional service charge. Any further remedies follow that signed agreement.
