Practical AI and automation, built around your team's work, with clear checks and human review.
Is your finance team spending too much time moving data between spreadsheets, checking figures and preparing reporting packs? Does too much of that work depend on one person?
I help small and mid-sized finance teams turn repeated manual work into practical, reliable workflows, freeing up time to understand the numbers and support the business.
These are examples. I start with the one that matters most to you, then build from there.
01Reporting, any frequency
Provide your accounting exports, budget and management notes, and receive formatted reports with tables, charts and draft commentary, from board packs and group accounts to funder, bank and year-end reporting. Each workflow is built around your requirements, with agreed calculations, checks against your source data and finance approval before anything goes out.
02Repetitive processes
Reduce repetitive handling while keeping people responsible for exceptions and approvals. I've delivered bespoke automation, including accounts payable, combining AI with human oversight to substantially reduce manual effort.
03Tools and dashboards
Bring information together, reduce repeated data entry and give finance, key staff and management a clearer view of what needs attention. I've delivered improvements across both accounting and operational processes.
Your numbers stay yours.
Financial calculations follow agreed rules and are checked against your source data. AI helps draft commentary; your team reviews and approves the output. Before implementation, I agree with you how your data will be handled.
I'm Azi Awan. I have 13+ years of finance and business leadership experience, including Finance Manager, Commercial Manager and GM roles in commercial businesses, and CFO of a national sporting organisation.
I've been responsible for the numbers, the deadlines and the team delivering them. I also build the solutions myself, bringing business understanding and hands-on delivery together.
I learn your pain points, help you choose a task worth improving and agree with you how to measure the benefit.
I build and test the solution against your existing work, reconciling outputs and explaining differences where relevant.
I document the process, train your team and support them for an agreed period to help them realise the benefits.
Bring one task your team spends too much time on. I'll talk it through with you: how it works today, where AI or automation could help, and whether there's a worthwhile next step.
