AI trainer for corporates and finance leaders.
CA Dhaval Kodilkar is a Fellow Chartered Accountant who helps organisations make every team AI-fluent, from the finance function to the boardroom.
CA Dhaval Kodilkar is a Mumbai-based corporate AI trainer, Fellow Chartered Accountant and founder of Accounting Ally. He runs hands-on AI programmes for Finance, HR, Marketing, Sales, Strategy and leadership teams, has trained 20,000+ professionals across 9 countries, and is faculty and course architect for ICAI's AICA certification.
A decade at the intersection of finance and AI.
With more than a decade of cross-border experience in financial reporting, audit, international taxation and finance outsourcing, Dhaval has led multidisciplinary teams of 350+ professionals for listed and multinational clients in India, the UK and the US.
He founded Accounting Ally in 2020, a business advisory and KPO firm with offices in Mumbai and Bangalore and a UK presence since 2025.
Today his focus is corporate AI training. He has trained 20,000+ professionals and delivered programmes for organisations including Safaricom, Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finserv, Indian Oil, IndusInd Bank, Abbott, Lanxess, UPL, Marico and WPP Media, in India, Kenya, Singapore and beyond.
His method starts with the "cost of inefficiency": quantify where time and money leak, then design AI use cases that recover it, so results are measurable within the first quarter.
Clients include Larsen & Toubro, Safaricom, Bajaj Finserv, Indian Oil, Galderma, Abbott, Lanxess, Bajaj Finance, VE Commercial Vehicles (Eicher), UPL, Marico, WPP Media, IndusInd Bank, KPMG, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), NPCI, Mayfair Insurance, Copy Cat Group, Ramco Group, HCG Group, Clutterbot.
Five reasons, with proof.
A practitioner, not a tool demonstrator
A Fellow Chartered Accountant who has run audits, reporting and tax work, so use cases are grounded in how work is actually done.
Built for your workflows
Labs mirror your team's own processes and data patterns, so people practise their real work.
Governance from day one
Every programme covers data, review and local law, from India's DPDP Act to UK GDPR and Kenya's Data Protection Act.
Measured outcomes
The cost-of-inefficiency method sets a baseline so results can be shown in hours and money, not anecdotes.
Proven at scale
20,000+ professionals trained for organisations such as Safaricom, L&T, Bajaj Finserv, Indian Oil and Abbott.
