AI consultant for small business

An AI consultant for small business owners.

I work remotely with owners of small businesses across the US and Canada. Together we find the work that takes too long, test the smallest useful fix and decide whether it is worth keeping.

Quick answer

What does an AI consultant do for a small business?

I look at how your business runs, find the one place where AI can save the most time or protect the most revenue, and test the smallest useful version of it. You then decide whether it is worth keeping, with evidence rather than a pitch. It starts with a free 15-minute call, and I work with owners remotely across the US and Canada.

Does this sound familiar?

Where small businesses lose the most time

  • Quotes, leads and follow-ups depend on someone remembering.
  • Customer enquiries arrive from too many places to keep up properly.
  • Useful information is buried in emails, notes, PDFs and spreadsheets.
  • The same weekly report takes hours to prepare.
  • You are copying information from one system into another.
  • You have data, but no clear view of what needs attention.

You do not need to be technical. You do need a real problem worth solving.

How it works

Start with an assessment

  1. We look at how you work

    You walk me through a typical week, the tools you use and the work that creates the most friction.

  2. I identify the best opportunities

    You receive a practical assessment showing where AI could save time, improve quality or help you capture more value, with recommendations on where to start.

  3. We decide what makes sense

    We go through the recommendations together, answer your questions and choose the next step.

Work already delivered

What a first project can look like

  • A measurements dashboard: cards for current weight, waist, navel and hips, each showing the change since the first entry, above a line chart of every measurement over time.
    Nutrition coaching practice

    Dashboards on top of the coach’s spreadsheets

    A month of an athlete’s data reads at a glance instead of row by row, so checking in takes a moment rather than a sitting.

  • The opening of a listing reel: the property’s exterior photograph filling a vertical frame, the asking price in large type across it and the street address beneath.
    Real estate team

    A reel for every listing, the day it goes live

    A thirty-second vertical video for every listing, ready for Instagram, TikTok and Shorts, without anyone opening a video editor.

  • A spending dashboard: filters for month, card and category, totals for spent, refunds and net outflow, a ranked breakdown by category and a bar chart of each month.
    Personal finances

    Every card’s spending in one place

    The statements arrive and sort themselves, instead of being downloaded, pasted together and totalled by hand.

After the assessment

Then you decide what happens next

  • You take it from there

    Use the assessment and implement the recommendations yourself.

  • I build it

    I build and test the first solution for you.

  • We build it together

    We work side by side so you and your team can learn how to use and improve it.

The point is not to sell you a big AI project. It is to figure out what is worth doing first.

Who you would be working with

I spent 20 years building software products and leading product and engineering teams.

I know the difference between a good idea, a useful first version and a project that becomes more complicated than the problem it was meant to solve.

Now I bring that same thinking to small businesses using AI, working remotely with clients across the US and Canada.
