AI × Finance for APAC Finance Teams

AI for finance teams — output you can sign off.

Copilot and AI training for finance teams, built around the question most training skips: how do you know the output is right? Delivered in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

When a workflow is ready, a 10-day automation sprint turns it into a controlled, repeatable process.

Illustrative output from a demonstration build (synthetic data).

When to bring us in

When to bring us in

• Your team has Copilot licences, but usage is scattered prompts — nobody has built finance workflows on them.
• AI output looks finished, but no one can say whether it’s right — so it never survives review.
• Month-end takes days of copy-paste before analysis even starts.
• In 2026, the bottleneck is no longer the model. It is workflow design and verification.

How we work

How we work

Every engagement follows a simple discipline: finance automation only ships when every output traces back to a verified source.

Know exactly which FP&A workflows are ready for AI — and which decisions must stay human.

Fixed scope, fixed fee, full handoff. Your team owns everything we build.

Automate the preparation. Keep the decision human.

Albert Lee, CPA (Hong Kong) — Founder, Axiom FP&A Partners. Fellow of the HKICPA · Former PwC · Chicago Booth Executive MBA Candidate. I help APAC finance teams cut manual reporting hours with AI they can audit — using the tools they already have: Copilot, Excel and Power BI. Every engagement is built for finance transformation with clear controls, verification and handoff. I’m not selling software; when we’re done, your team owns the workflow. I also provide AI finance coaching for senior finance professionals embedding AI agents into day-to-day FP&A and CFO functions.
