Engagements designed for measurable ROI.

Six structured ways to work together — from a single board briefing to a complete, AI-fluent finance function.

Key Takeaway

CA Dhaval Kodilkar, FCA offers six structured engagement models — AI training, finance transformation, internal audit reimagined, cross-border advisory, virtual CFO/KPO, and board briefings — for MNCs, listed companies and mid-market firms. Every engagement begins with a diagnostic that quantifies the client's "cost of inefficiency" so fees map to a specific, recoverable business loss. Delivery is led by a practising Chartered Accountant with support from the Accounting Ally team across Mumbai, Bangalore and the United Kingdom.

01

AI Strategy & Corporate Training

Bespoke generative-AI transformation programmes mapped to your finance, audit, compliance and HR workflows.

  • Custom AICA curriculum
  • Executive masterclasses
  • Hands-on workshops
Impact:Across 700+ AICA batches and 500+ MNC engagements, CA Dhaval Kodilkar has personally trained more than 15,000 finance professionals — including 40,000+ Chartered Accountants through ICAI's AICA programme. Client teams at Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finance and Indian Oil have moved from workshop to live, ROI-positive AI use cases in as little as one week after the engagement.
02

Finance Transformation

End-to-end Gen AI workflows for AP/AR, bank & inter-company reconciliation, real-time reporting and month-end close.

  • 40% faster close
  • Zero manual reconciliations
  • Real-time dashboards
Impact:At a mid-market Indian manufacturing client, the practice re-architected AP/AR, bank reconciliation and consolidation workflows using Generative AI and RPA. The result was a month-end close cycle reduced by up to 40%, near-zero manual reconciliations, and management dashboards refreshed in real time instead of on a monthly lag.
03

Internal Audit Reimagined

AI-driven audit analytics performing full-population testing, anomaly detection and exception reporting at scale.

  • 5M+ daily transactions
  • Anomaly scoring
  • Risk-based coverage
Impact:For a large public-sector energy client, the internal audit function moved from sample-based testing to AI-driven full-population coverage across more than 5 million daily transactions. Anomaly-scoring models surfaced revenue-leakage and control exceptions that traditional sampling would have missed, and re-focused auditor time on the highest-risk items.
04

Cross-Border Advisory

IFRS & Ind AS, statutory audits, transfer pricing and GRC for groups operating across India, UK, US and East Africa.

  • IFRS / Ind AS convergence
  • Transfer pricing
  • SOX & GRC
Impact:For listed and multinational groups operating across India, the UK, the US and East Africa, the practice has led IFRS and Ind AS convergence, transfer-pricing documentation, SOX readiness and GRC design. Engagements typically deliver a clean statutory audit, defensible transfer-pricing position, and a single controls framework across geographies.
05

Virtual CFO & KPO

Outsourced finance leadership and finance & accounts process delivery via the Accounting Ally KPO platform.

  • Fractional CFO
  • F&A outsourcing
  • Investor reporting
Impact:Through Accounting Ally's Mumbai, Bangalore and UK delivery centres, growing SMEs and mid-market firms get a fractional CFO plus a full F&A back office — investor reporting, MIS, statutory compliance and treasury — at a fraction of the cost of a full in-house team, with senior Chartered Accountant oversight on every deliverable.
06

Board & Executive Briefings

Strategic sessions for CXOs, CFOs and Boards on AI-driven governance, profitability and risk.

  • AI-for-Board sessions
  • Strategy retreats
  • Keynotes
Impact:Across 500+ MNC engagements in India, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Kenya and the UAE, CXOs and Boards have used these sessions to sharpen AI strategy, governance and profitability decisions. Every briefing ends with a written 90-day action plan mapping AI investments to specific P&L, risk and compliance outcomes.
