Who We Help
We work best with regulated and litigation-exposed firms adopting AI, and with leadership teams where technology decisions carry real business risk and nobody in the room owns the answer.
Your Team Wants AI, Your Data Says No
Your staff are asking for AI, your clients expect you to use it, and the data you hold, privileged files, tax returns, non-public financials, cannot be pasted into a chatbot on consumer terms.
You'll recognize this
- Client or regulated data would have to enter tools you do not control
- You have banned AI, and you suspect the ban is not holding
- Peers are adopting AI and you do not have a safe way to follow
AI Is Already in the Building, Ungoverned
Staff are using personal AI accounts informally. No policy says which data can go where, and the first person to notice may be an auditor, an examiner, or opposing counsel.
You'll recognize this
- There is no AI acceptable-use policy, or there is one nobody follows
- An auditor, examiner, or client has asked how you govern AI
- You cannot list which AI tools your staff actually use
Technology Bets With No Senior Owner
AI is one of several bets on your desk, alongside infrastructure, security, and vendor decisions. Nobody in the room owns the technical answer, and a wrong call is expensive.
You'll recognize this
- Technology decisions are being made without a senior technical leader
- A platform migration, acquisition, or major vendor change is on the horizon
- You want a virtual CTO's judgment, not another vendor's pitch
Industries where the data raises the stakes
We do our highest-value work with regulated and litigation-exposed firms adopting AI, where getting it wrong is not an option.
CPA and accounting firms
A Section 7216-aware AI policy, governed Claude rollouts, and document automation for busy-season volume.
Law firms and litigation practices
AI governance and safe adoption built for privilege, confidentiality, and ABA Formal Opinion 512.
SEC-registered advisers and financial firms
Examination-ready AI governance and approved tools for firms handling non-public client data.
Forensic, expert, and document-heavy practices
Document automation and governance built for defensibility and privilege.
You do not need a regulator to need this
If clients make you sign NDAs with teeth, send you AI-use questionnaires, or ask "is your firm using AI on our files," you are held to regulated-grade confidentiality without the rulebook. The same rules, training, and controls answer both. We build them for the standard your clients hold you to, not for the regulator you do not have.

Who we are NOT a fit for
If you are looking for the absolute cheapest IT support to fix printers and reset passwords, we are not your team. We are advisors and strategic partners, not a helpdesk (though we can help you manage one).

AI Readiness Checklist
The questions every regulated firm should answer before adopting AI
The Regulated Firm's AI Readiness Checklist
Six questions that decide whether your firm can adopt AI without putting client data, a renewal, or an examination at risk. Walk them before your next audit, not after.
- Where client data is leaving your environment through personal AI accounts
- Whether your AI controls would survive a SOC 2 audit or an examination
- Where a human, not the model, needs to ratify the output
