Fractional Chief AI Officer

Your firm needs an AI strategy it can stand behind.

Fractional CAIO (Chief AI Officer) gives accounting and bookkeeping firms practical AI leadership—governance, priorities, and shipped work—built directly on the FynOps platform. Move past “should we use AI?” without creating a compliance or client-trust problem.

Available to firms with an active FynOps platform subscription.

The accounting-firm difference

AI governance has to fit professional responsibility.

Generic CAIO programs focus on technology spend. We focus on the accounting work that creates client and firm risk: confidentiality, approvals, documentation, and defensible human oversight.

Start with a Readiness Sprint

A two-week, $2,500 diagnostic that identifies the right first priorities. The fee is credited in full when you start a retainer within 60 days.

Built for firm leaders

A service line that turns AI into accountable operating leverage.

You receive senior guidance and concrete delivery—not a slide deck. Every plan, workflow, and shipped item is designed to live inside FynOps, where your team can see, govern, and build on it.

Governance your firm can use

Translate AI ambition into policies, risk tiers, and review points that fit accounting work instead of generic enterprise checklists.

A focused delivery backlog

Prioritize the agents, dashboards, reports, and automations that create measurable value without opening an uncontrolled project.

Leadership visibility

Keep partners aligned with a monthly value ledger, concise strategic assessments, and a plain-English record of what changed and why.

Governance with an accounting-firm lens.

Your team needs practical guidance for how AI is evaluated, used, reviewed, and documented. We organize the work around your firm's workflows and professional obligations—not a generic policy nobody follows.

FynOps does not provide legal, tax, or professional-standards advice. We help your firm build operational documentation and processes for review with its qualified advisors.
