AI-native strategic finance for founders.
Built from the ground up.
Your company's financial brain should belong to you.
This is a live finance operating system I designed and operate.
Every transaction assembles into one structured Register.
Role-gated views render from it automatically.
A change comes in, the model refreshes, every number computed in code, and a human owns the review.
It has run a paying startup's books in daily production since early 2026.
In most companies it is a 10-minute ritual with six places to be wrong.
I am the operator who makes it the 30-second question, and I stand behind the number.
The proof is below. It is running today.
The system, live
Every financial transaction assembles into one structured Register. From there, role-gated views render automatically. The operator sees one view, the board sees another, all from the same source. The Register holds segments of every transaction, and the function keeps it live through three update layers: comments, the data coming off your systems, and operator overrides. This is not a mockup of a future product. It is the control surface of a finance function I operate for a paying startup in daily production today. The data below is illustrative.

What I build, and the system that runs it
Most early-stage founders are the connective tissue between their books, their billing, their bank, and their own head. Every handoff loses context. Every spreadsheet is one person away from breaking.
This is the function I build, and the system that runs it.
It connects to the tools you already use: general ledger, payroll, banking, CRM. No rip-and-replace.
Last month, on a paying startup's live model, I worked ten change requests through the system end to end: replies drafted, figures updated, the model refreshed, every number computed in code with a human owning the review.
Renting a black box
- Export reports you cannot keep
- Pay every month to stay logged in
- Watch the context reset on the vendor's terms
- Lose what it learned the day you leave
- Trust numbers you cannot trace
Owning the brain
The answer is already there.
Sourced from the books.
Computed in code.
Reviewed by a human.
And the system that produced it is yours to keep.
Why AI fails at finance
Every founder has tried a chatbot on their numbers. Here is why it did not stick.
It guesses at numbers.
A live finance function computes every figure in code against the general ledger, so the math is right and it traces to source.
It forgets your context.
This system keeps a clean, living record of the business and carries your context forward across the whole engagement, so it gets sharper month over month.
The hard part is not the prompt.
There is a free AI CFO template going around, and firms that will hand you a CFO update from one prompt. That is the easy part, and it is already free. The hard part is the clean, live, deterministic financial backbone underneath, the part someone has to build, run, and stand behind.
One system, wherever the work already happens
The system stays in context across the artifacts your team already uses: the spreadsheet, the deck, the doc, the chat channel. One source of truth, one living record, no copy-paste between tools.
How it works
One system, built around how the business actually runs. Here is what standing it up looks like.
Connect the stack
General ledger, payroll, banking, CRM. No rip-and-replace. The system links to what you already use.
Assemble the model
Every transaction assembles into one structured Register. Role-gated views render from it automatically.
Operate it live
The model stays current in the spreadsheet, the deck, the doc, the chat. Every number computed in code, with a human owning the review.
I operate this system for one founding client today, and I am looking for the right next team to build it into, as the operator who runs it. I embed with at most three founders at a time. Apply for a finance-OS embed or email Ty.
You own your brain
Your data, your AI.
You run the system on your own AI subscription and your own keys. We never sit between you and the model, and we never mark up your compute.
You own what gets built.
Your context, your data, your outputs are portable and yours to keep, from day one. The methodology is licensed, perpetual and free, with no rent that holds your books hostage. If I ever step away, you keep everything and I do not send you a bill.
Trace to source.
Every number is computed in code, not estimated by a model. Each figure traces back to its source and is reviewed by a human before it reaches your board.
The operator and the system
A decade in institutional finance: investment banking at Houlihan Lokey and William Blair, a relative-value hedge fund, and two startups co-founded. Years on the operator side, building and running the finance function from the ground up, and the AI system that runs it. One accountable operator on the hook for the numbers.
The system Ty designed and operates. It assembles the finance model, renders the role-gated views, and keeps them live. It runs on code where code belongs and asks when it is unsure instead of guessing. Ty directs the work and a human owns the review.
Ty built the methodology and operates the system. The track record is the spine. The system is the multiplier.
See the system.
Then let's talk.
I embed with at most three founders at a time and build their strategic finance function the way I built my own. I would rather take less cash and share in what we build, with a team that sees the same leverage I see. If you want finance to be a source of truth instead of a monthly fire drill, or you know a founder who does, let's talk.
