CLIENT STORIES

Real problems.
Working results.

No long, expensive implementations. Practical AI and technology leadership, connected to the tools our clients already use.

Entara

From 60-hour weeks to automation that’s ready before day one.

60 → 40hours a week for the accounting team, and on track
The challenge
Bookkeeping was eating the team alive. 60-hour weeks just to keep the books closed, and no time to wait another year on a big ERP project. They needed something working now.
What SIS did
Instead of another long, expensive system implementation, SIS piloted Claude and Cowork connected directly to the tools already in use, like QuickBooks, Gusto, and O365, putting the Finance skill to work automating month-end close and GL reconciliation.
The result
A new offshore controller joins this fall. Instead of walking into the same manual grind, they inherit automation that already works, built before their first day, not months after.

Crossbridge Energy Partners

From “we should do something with AI” to a plan the board signed off on.

Phase 1of a three-pillar AI strategy, now underway
The challenge
They didn’t need another AI vendor. They needed a partner who could turn “we should probably do something with AI” into an actual plan the board would approve.
What SIS did
As Fractional CIO, SIS built a three-pillar AI strategy: automate the corporate back office, instrument the portfolio assets, and sharpen how deals are underwritten. SIS also stood up the AI & Data Council, giving the board and investors confidence in how model risk, data lineage, and vendor risk are managed.
The result
Now in Phase 1, with SIS providing hands-on advisory and managed delivery. The first phase targets the finance and back-office workflows that eat analyst hours, with faster, sharper M&A diligence and screening to follow.
