About me
I am an AI and automation consultant with a background in finance and business processes. I know finance management from the inside — from chief accountant to partner at Grant Thornton Baltic and Tax Reporting & Strategy manager at PwC. I help company management understand how the finance function really works, where time and money are lost, and where automation and AI create real value — not just another tool.
My approach: process first, then technology. Not every problem needs AI. Often the biggest results come from a simpler process, better data and clearer responsibilities.
