Your finance function, rebuilt with AI
Runbook builds and operates your finance operating model as a managed service. SLA-based. AI-enabled. Proven in production.

Most mid-market finance functions are structured around people doing work that systems should be doing
The CFO spends most of their time managing process. The close is the fifteenth. The board pack is late. Junior staff churn because the work is fragmented. The tooling to fix this has matured — but building it requires engineering, governance, and operational finance expertise in combination. Most businesses don't have all three.
Traditional outsourcing
Cheaper labour, same broken process. No automation. No compounding improvement. You still own the delivery risk.
Point AI tools
The vendor sells the software and leaves. You build the integration layer and bear the implementation risk.

Why this is different
We underwrite the delivery risk. Savings compound. Built for the mid-market.
We underwrite the delivery risk
SLA-based, not time-and-materials. If automation underperforms, that cost sits with us.
Savings compound and pass through
Quarterly reviews quantify gains. Material gains become fee reductions.
Built for the mid-market
$15M–$150M revenue. Enterprise governance without enterprise pricing.
Proven, not experimental
Expert360 is live. Every engagement starts from a production-tested runbook.
Senior leadership included
Fractional CFO and Finance Director are part of the service. People, judgment, accountability.
No technology lock-in
Model-agnostic. AI models swap via config. No rebuild required.
