What We Do

Advisory Services

Each engagement is tailored to your organization's specific context, data maturity, and strategic goals.

About the Advisor

Finance expertise that speaks AI fluently.

Paul King founded PK2 AI Advisors to bridge the gap most organizations experience: AI vendors who don't understand finance, and finance leaders who don't trust AI. With over two decades in Financial Planning & Analysis — running P&L management, corporate transformation programs, and cross-functional operations — Paul brings practitioner credibility to every engagement.

The result is an advisory practice that doesn't sell technology for its own sake. We identify where AI genuinely moves the needle for your organization, implement it with rigor, and make sure your team can sustain and scale it.

The Case for AI

Why now. Why AI. Why PK2.

The organizations gaining competitive advantage today are those deploying AI strategically — not experimentally. The window to build a genuine edge is open, but it won't stay open forever.

Faster planning cycles

Faster, Smarter Forecasts

AI models process thousands of variables in seconds — delivering scenario analyses that would take a full FP&A team days to produce manually.

60%
Reduction in manual data work

Eliminate Manual Reconciliation

AI-driven data pipelines reconcile financial data across systems automatically — eliminating the most error-prone, time-consuming parts of the close process.

Real-Time
Variance & anomaly detection

Proactive, Not Reactive

Machine learning detects anomalies and emerging trends before they show up in your monthly variance report — shifting finance from a reporting function to a strategic one.
