Beyond the Prompt: The B.A.S.E. Framework
A four-step framework - Brainstorm, Architect, Systemize, Execute - that turned AI from a novelty into actual infrastructure for how I work.
A working notebook on AI × Finance.
I'm a CPA with 16 years in finance - from EY audit to CFO to co-founding an AI startup. I now also run a fractional CFO practice and spend a lot of time figuring out where AI actually fits in real finance workflows. This is where I document what I'm trying - what works, what breaks, and what I'm still figuring out. No polished takes. Just honest notes from someone doing the work.
