Three to four weeks. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Delivered by a sitting Controller and CPA — not a vendor pitching tools, not a generalist consultant who's never closed books at scale.
Every finance leader we speak with is somewhere on this map. Most are in more than one place at once.
Your CEO or CFO is asking what finance is doing with AI, and the answer needs to be more substantive than "we're looking into it."
Your stack works. But you suspect AI could compress the close, the reporting cycle, or AP — you just can't quantify where, or in what order.
Vendors are pitching point solutions every week. You can't tell which claims are real, which are demoware, and which solve problems you don't actually have.
Your team is already using ChatGPT ad-hoc. That's not a strategy. It's also not nothing — but you have no framework to build on it.
A focused first step. Sixty minutes on your function and your stack — recorded, structured, and useful the next morning. For finance leaders who want a credible starting point before committing to a full engagement.
The $500 fee is credited in full toward a subsequent AI Readiness Assessment booked within 60 days.
Inquire →A defensible, prioritized roadmap your CFO can present, your team can execute, and your CEO can fund. Built for multi-property hospitality operators, hotel management companies, and F&B groups.
A clear-eyed assessment of your close, AP/AR, reporting, and FP&A workflows — with cycle times, pain points, and automation gaps documented.
Every viable AI use case in your function, scored on ROI, implementation effort, and risk. No vendor slides masquerading as analysis.
For each opportunity: a build, buy, or wait recommendation, with named vendors, rough costs, and the red flags worth watching.
Sequenced workstreams with owners, milestones, and success metrics. Designed to be defensible in front of an audit committee.
A sixty-minute presentation delivered to your leadership team, with the working files handed off afterward.
Nordpath was founded on a simple premise: the people best positioned to advise finance teams on AI are the ones still operating finance teams. Not vendors with quotas. Not generalist consultants who left the function a decade ago.
Over seventeen years in finance — six in Big 4 audit, then a decade plus inside the corporate finance functions of multi-unit hospitality, restaurant, and retail brands — shapes the work. The opportunities are real. So are the constraints. The roadmaps delivered here account for both.
Like the Norse explorers who navigated uncharted waters with skill and discipline, Nordpath helps finance leaders chart a defensible course through the AI frontier — without the hype, and without the regret.
— E.B.
Tell us a bit about your finance function. If the Assessment is a fit, we'll say so. If it isn't — or if you'd be better served starting with the $500 session — we'll say that too.
