CFO · SME mid-market
Evaluate AI spend before
the next market open.
Northwake is the daily diagnostic practice for the SME mid-market CFO priced out of legacy day rates. The agents read your margin, supplier, and competitive telemetry every morning and land a cost line your board can sign against — not a dashboard the last vendor left running.
Daily briefings
The three cost lines every morning briefing carries.
What the diagnostic loop reads on your behalf — every morning, before market open — so the cost conversation in your next board draft is anchored to the cost you've actually been running. Not a quarterly retro. Not a vendor pitch deck.
Unit-economics drift
Daily margin and AI-cost telemetry read against your 30-, 90-, and 365-day baseline. The trajectory lands before the next market open, so the cost line in the next board draft reflects the cost line you've actually been running — not the one the last vendor left standing.
Supplier-renegotiation signals
Freight, ledger, and SaaS spend re-priced against the peer panel Northwake is reading the same morning. The negotiation lever shows up tagged to the contract that pays for it — renewal-ready, in carrier names and SKU codes your team can paste into the next vendor call.
Competitor pricing moves
Competitive feeds re-anchored on each overnight pull. The pricing copy your sales team ships next week is anchored to the moves that landed yesterday — not the dashboard the last vendor left running when the contract lapsed.
Trust
The commitments the next board draft is signed against.
Every Northwake engagement is signed against the same standing commitments — the CFO-facing frame of the trust statement on /about, tuned for the cost line and the audit trail you'll eventually walk.
Cost controls that survive the first audit
Every cost line Northwake surfaces is reproducible from the underlying record. The audit trail your next auditor walks is the same one the diagnostic loop writes against from day one — no shadow ledger, no retro-fitted memo, no 'trust the dashboard' deflection at quarter-end.
The senior review layer returns at the pressure points
The agents run the continuous, unglamorous work. The senior review layer returns at exactly two pressure points: the cost-of-AI line item the board signs against, and the regulated spend overlay when a supplier dispute or a sanction-adjacent contract question comes back to the room.
Records sit inside a single-tenant envelope
Your ERP, freight, ledger, and competitive feeds stay inside your isolation envelope — single-tenant, signed, encrypted, regional placement set per engagement. Nothing leaves your account to train a shared model, and no operator pokes through without an explicit, traceable reason.
