Return on AI.
A new AI model ships almost every week. We filter what actually changes something for your closing, your reporting, or your deal flow — and we ignore the rest, no matter how impressive it looks on paper.
For CFOs, accountants, PE GPs and LPs, asset managers and family offices. We bill on results, not on concepts.
Positioning
We don't sell AI concepts.
We deliver measurable ROI to CFOs, accountants and private equity funds.
We leave that to others
- Slide decks without a single ROI figure
- AI vocabulary with zero implementation behind it
- Dizzying stats that are never sourced
- Generic "AI changes everything" takes
Every week in Return on AI
- One anonymized, numbered case study per week
- The method behind the result — not just the tool
- Honest limits: where AI actually stops today
- Grounded in the job: CFOs, accounting, PE
What you get
Four angles, on rotation.
The blunt take
What gets sold in the boardroom, and what actually survives — or doesn't — the first implementation sprint.
A number, every week
One anonymized real engagement per issue: the initial promise, what got delivered, the actual figure.
The real mechanics
DDQs, cap tables, closings, audits: where AI genuinely helps, and where it's still risky unsupervised.
AI news, filtered
A new model ships every week. We keep what actually changes something for your team — and ignore the rest.

AI consulting & implementation firm — finance
95% of AI projects fail. Not the technology — the people who sell it without ever having implemented it. At i-avantage, we work with CFOs, accountants, private equity funds and M&A boutiques with a team that implements, not one that presents. 200+ companies supported.
