AI now lets finance do more than report the past. Badger 6 turns your numbers into forward-looking insight, tighter controls, and better decisions — the finance function of a much bigger company, at any size, for a fraction of the cost.
Real financial insight — FP&A, controls, a partner who turns numbers into decisions — has always meant hiring a team most companies can't justify. That's just how finance worked. AI changed that. The same outcomes now cost a fraction, arrive faster, and free your people to act on the numbers instead of assembling them. Badger 6 is built entirely around that shift — at every size.
You no longer need a controller, an FP&A hire, and a CFO to run finance like a company ten times your size. AI does the assembly; you get the insight, board-ready reporting, and forward judgment — at a fraction of the old cost and complexity.
Hand off finance end to end and get more than an in-house team delivered. An AI-native close, reporting, and controls run the function faster and cleaner — so your people spend their time on decisions, not on assembling the numbers.
No rip-and-replace. We layer AI intelligence on top of your legacy ERP — insights, controls, and process efficiencies drawn from the data you already own — turning monthly reports into a real business partnership with the operation.
Finance as a business partner, not a scorekeeper. The goal of every engagement is the same — move finance from reporting what happened to shaping what happens next. AI is what finally makes that affordable at any size.
Three monthly engagements, one philosophy — AI-native finance that delivers more value, faster, for less. Start with controller-quality oversight on the books you keep, outsource the whole function, or run a full Fractional CFO stack with advanced modules, payroll, and treasury. Fixed pricing, not billable hours. If you already have a finance team and want AI layered onto the ERP you run, that’s project work — it’s below.
Keep your bookkeeper. I layer on controller-quality close oversight, FP&A, board-ready reporting, and forward judgment — with AI doing the heavy lifting — so you get decision-useful finance without hiring a full controller.
Hand off the entire function — bookkeeping through close through board-ready reporting — run on our proprietary AI-native platform for more value than your in-house processes delivered. One flat fee.
Everything in Finance, Operated, plus advanced finance and accounting modules, payroll, and treasury — a full Fractional CFO engagement on the same AI-native platform. One flat fee.
Monthly engagements are month-to-month · Fixed pricing, no billable hours
Monthly engagements cover ongoing finance. These are scoped, fixed-fee project services for a defined outcome — priced up front and staffed by me.
Suspected fraud, partner disputes, insurance claims, or books that stopped making sense. Rebuild the transaction history from source, document what the evidence supports and what it doesn’t, and deliver work that stands up to a lawyer, auditor, or judge.
Fundraising, hiring plans, or unit-economics tests. Assumptions separated from the math, scenarios that move together, and a model an investor can pull apart without it falling over — tied to the story the numbers actually support.
Stand up the finance function before separation: opening balances, chart of accounts for the new entity, close process, and sponsor reporting — so the first month post-close is a normal month, not a scramble.
Build on the data and ERP you already run — insights, controls, and process efficiencies that link operations to finance. No rip-and-replace; delivered as working systems, not a slide deck.
Scoped and quoted before we start. Fixed fee against a defined outcome, not hourly. If scope changes, we re-scope in the open before the invoice does. Timeline is clear before you commit.
For fifteen years I led finance — auditing at a Big 4 accounting firm, owning accounting policy for a $10B segment at a Fortune 100 public company, and building finance from zero at start-ups and growing companies. The whole time, I watched good businesses overpay for basic financial insight, because real FP&A, controls, and a finance partner meant hiring a whole team.
AI changed that. I built Badger 6 to bring big-company finance outcomes to companies of any size, built on automation powered by experienced finance operators and AI. Not reports about last month; a finance function that helps you decide what happens next.
