Fincept Terminal Free Bloomberg Replacement

BREAKING: I just killed my Bloomberg envy with a free download and bolted 37 AI investor agents onto it.

pe-lbo-diligence-repost-v3-post

BREAKING: AI just collapsed private equity due diligence from 60 days to 2 weeks, and we packaged the exact workflow a deal team uses to build the LBO model, read the data room, and write the IC memo without a $250K asso

No CFO trusts AI with company books on day one.

Goodbye Tax Pain - Self-Improving Tax Agent

AI now files returns that rival a Big 4 tax desk, and we rebuilt it on Claude into a guide your whole finance team can run.

Expert Read booster (graft)

Not because the calls were bad. Because the seat sells access to a transcript and leaves the actual reading to a tired analyst at 6pm on a Friday.

Every Fund CFO Waits On The Same Twenty Portfolio Packs

Every private equity CFO waits on the same thing at month end. Twenty portfolio company packs, in twenty formats, from twenty finance teams who each built their own template.

Private credit underwriting repost (allocator treatment)

Private credit defaults hit a record this year and half the industry is still underwriting by hand. The desks that catch the PIK creep are not bigger. They are automated.

A PwC tax pack that lands in September is not a busy season. It is a year of books the tax team never saw until the export.

Startup Diligence From Three Weeks To An Afternoon

BREAKING: AI just collapsed startup due diligence from three weeks to an afternoon, the work a VC runs before it wires a term sheet.

The Board Pack Is Green. The 13 Week Cash Forecast Is Getting Worse. Your Portfolio Team Has Not Been Told Why

The board pack is green. The cash forecast is getting worse. Your portfolio team needs to know why, and nobody in the pack is going to tell them.

Why finance teams bring me in

One person maps the workflow and writes the code. No strategy deck handed to a dev shop that quotes against a spec nobody recognizes six months later.
Every build starts with a dollar number. If I can't quantify what the workflow costs you, I won't pitch it.
You own everything: the code, the prompts, the data. Take the repo and run it yourself, or keep me on a flat retainer. Your call.

Finance AI automation, answered

Who builds AI deal diligence and finance automation systems?

Muhammad Ali Tabani, founder of consultance.ai. He builds and ships AI deal desks and finance automation end to end: due diligence, the month-end close, reconciliation, reporting, underwriting, and tax. Founder on every call and every build, with the code owned by the client. The public library has 44 free finance builds you can run before any engagement.

Can AI automate the month-end close?

Yes, the repeatable parts. Reconciliation, accruals, variance commentary, and the board pack run as AI steps with a human approving anything that posts. One broker-dealer workflow cut 30 to 40 hours of monthly reconciliation. The month-end close and consolidation packs in the library do the same on your own books.

What finance workflows can AI automate first?

The ones that are high volume and rules-heavy: diligence and quality of earnings, the month-end close, reconciliation and bookkeeping, recurring board reporting, tax provision and returns, and credit or insurance underwriting. Start with the one that burns the most hours.

Is there a free way to try finance AI automation?

Yes. The library has 44 finance builds, free and runnable on your own data: CFO packs, LBO and diligence kits, a tax prep agent, an equity research desk, and the fund NAV close. Run one this weekend. The paid work is making it production grade inside your stack.

How fast does a finance automation build ship?

Proof of concept in one to two weeks on your real data. Production in weeks three to six, depending on integrations and data condition. The scope stays narrow on purpose, so the first system is live and earning before it expands.

The finance workflow that shouldn't need humans anymore. Let's find it.

35 minutes. We map it, price it, and tell you straight if it's worth building. Written audit yours to keep.
