Finally, it’s possible to take greater control of your organization’s financial health, without relying on expensive third-party firms that charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for financial analysis projects that often fail to deliver.

I’ve seen companies spend over $250,000 just to find out what’s profitable and what’s not, only to learn that implementing the improvement strategy requires writing yet another large check.

As an IBM AI Partner, ACOMdev leverages advanced AI-driven analytics to perform deep financial health assessments at a fraction of that cost. Our AI tools can process and analyze thousands to millions of financial data points in just hours, something that was simply not possible for traditional finance teams in the past.

Our organization brings decades of experience to every engagement. Our CEO has over 30 years in the manufacturing industry, with a background spanning OEM, manufacturing, and healthcare, founded and sold three companies, and has managed domestic and global ERP implementations across the U.S. and Europe. Having “been there and done that, we understand firsthand the challenges of meeting payroll, managing dynamic businesses, and maintaining profitability.

As a Microsoft, Google, and IBM partner, we focus our solutions on practical applications of AI that deliver measurable business results.

Our Offer:
ACOMdev can provide a comprehensive financial analysis in a matter of weeks, at a fraction of traditional consulting costs. The potential return on this investment is enormous. Our engagement includes:

  • Financial forecasting and performance modeling

Finally, here’s an opportunity to gain major profitability insights from a minor investment and take full control of your organization’s financial future. Here is how a properly configured AI model can help.

  • Financial forecasting: AI models can analyze a wide range of data, including social media, news, and historical market data, to identify emerging trends and predict future outcomes with greater precision.
  • Statement analysis: AI can rapidly process and analyze financial statements to identify key trends and red flags and generate executive summaries.
  • Risk management: AI-powered tools can evaluate risk factors across global markets and identify potential inconsistencies or fraudulent activity in data.
  • Algorithmic trading: AI is used in trading platforms to analyze historical market data, predict price movements, and execute trades more efficiently.
  • Budgeting and variance analysis: AI can help build budgeting templates and analyze actual performance against budget to identify the drivers of variance.

Benefits coming from using AI for this kind of analysis not only increases efficiency and accuracy, but the ability for deeper insights never before possible from intensive, deep learning of your organization financial history and current trends is an outstanding edge and benefit few companies, including your competitors, currently have. This data will give you insights never before possible and will help you improve decision making.

You can have your internal finance team provide the raw data or allow our team to dig in and obtain it. We will use our AI tools to dig in and craw through mountains of data. From there we will take our AI foundation model and ingest your data for the analysis and provide the kind of reporting you have never seen before. We can also pull in competition with publicly available information to give you various market comparisons.
