AI Series

Practical AI for people who build real things

Written by a husband-and-wife team of operators, forensic accountants, and business exit advisors who use AI every day in real client engagements. Not theory. Not hype. What works.

Most AI books are written by researchers for researchers. This series is different. It was built for the business owner, the operator, the fractional CFO, the forensic accountant, and the advisor who needs to use AI in real work, not study it in theory.

Each book stands alone. Each one goes deeper. Together they form a complete blueprint for a modern, AI-powered practice.

Not for tech people.

For everyone else.

Questions we hear often.

  • The series covers ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, Canva AI, ClickUp Brain, and HubSpot AI integrations. Each platform is explained with plain-English descriptions and real workflow examples so you know exactly which tool to reach for and when.

  • No. Every platform covered has a free tier. The books show you how to get real value from free tools and explain when upgrading to a paid plan makes sense for your specific situation.

  • Yes. Book 2, AI for Business: The Advanced Playbook, is written specifically for operators, fractional CFOs, forensic accountants, and financial advisors. It covers forensic workflows, quality assurance agents, expert witness preparation, and the engagement checklist system. An industry-specific edition for accountants is also planned as part of Book 5.

  • Most AI books are written by researchers or technologists. This series is written by a CPA and forensic accountant who uses AI every day in real client engagements. The workflows in Book 2 were used in active litigation. The exit advisory frameworks in Book 3 come from real business sales. That practitioner authenticity is the competitive moat.
