Neville Ops — Cincinnati / NKY & Remote
CPA-built AI automation for small-business finance & ops. Every engagement starts with the math: hours saved, dollars returned, time to break even.
The distance between those two numbers is implementation — and implementation is a finance question: which hours, which dollars, which controls.

01The Offer
Thirty minutes on how your finance and ops work actually runs today. No pitch deck, no discovery-call theater — a working session with a CPA who has run these processes for 15 years.
Doing nothing has a price. A close that eats ten days a month is roughly $40–60k a year in salaried hours — before you count the decisions made late on stale numbers. The audit tells you your number.
We go through your close, reporting, AP/AR, and the recurring work your team does by hand. You talk, I take notes. That's the whole meeting.
Within a few business days: the automations worth building, each ranked by hours saved per month and estimated payback period. A finance document, not a sales document.
The audit is free and the shortlist is yours to keep — build it with me, build it with someone else, or build nothing. If automation isn't worth it for your business yet, the shortlist will say so.
02What I Automate
Finance and ops only — not IT, not generic "AI consulting." These are the workflows I've run myself and now automate for small and mid-sized businesses.
Checklists chased by email, accruals rebuilt from memory, a close that swallows the first two weeks of every month.
Close in days, not weeks.
Bank recs, credit cards, intercompany tie-outs — hours of matching rows a person never needed to do by hand.
Hours of tie-outs become minutes of review.
The monthly package rebuilt by hand every cycle, screenshots pasted into slides, numbers that go stale before anyone reads them.
The board deck builds itself.
Invoices keyed in manually, approvals lost in inboxes, receivables nobody chases until cash gets tight.
Invoices coded, chased, and filed without a human in the loop.
The same numbers moved between the same systems every week, by someone you're paying to think.
Re-keying goes to zero; errors go with it.
The spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch — one person understands it, and it breaks when they're out.
Tribal-knowledge spreadsheets become systems anyone can run.
You're deciding on hires, prices, and contracts from a gut feel and a stale spreadsheet.
A live cash model with levers you can pull yourself — hire or don't, raise prices or don't — and see the runway move.
Every question about your own business turns into an hour of exports and pivot tables.
Plain-English answers from your real data, with the business rules encoded so the answers are actually right.
03Why Neville Ops
I'm Rob Neville — CPA, ex-EY, 15 years in FP&A, most recently leading finance at a 250-person cybersecurity SaaS company: $100M+ raises, board reporting, close after close after close.
Then I started automating the work instead of doing it. The first process I automated saved a company $30k+ in its first year, and it became a commercial product. Neville Ops is that same work, done for your business.
Since then I've automated finance operations at enterprise scale: journal entries that match the accountant line-for-line, month-end pipelines with controls that block bad loads instead of hoping someone notices, a nine-figure book of business moved out of spreadsheets into systems that reconcile to zero.
Most AI shops are generalists or IT-focused. They can build an automation; they can't tell you which of your controls can't break, or which of your hours shouldn't exist. I also wrote the AI control framework for an audited, multi-entity company's finance function — human review on every published number, AI locked out of source data, zero tolerance on the numbers that must always tie. I don't just automate your books. I install the guardrails an auditor would ask for.
Where I work
04How It Works
Thirty minutes, free. We map how the work runs today and where the hours actually go.
A prioritized shortlist of automations, each with hours saved per month and estimated payback. You pick what's worth building.
I build inside the tools you already use — QuickBooks, NetSuite, Excel, email. No rip-and-replace, no new logins for your team.
A monthly retainer keeps every automation maintained, measured, and extended as your business changes. That's the engagement — ongoing, not one-and-done.

06FAQ
Software that does the repetitive parts of finance and ops work — reading invoices, matching transactions, drafting reports, sending reminders — with a person still reviewing what matters. No data scientists, no six-month IT project. Most of what I build runs inside the tools you already pay for.
A monthly retainer, sized to the scope of what's running. The roadmap from your audit shows the estimated payback for each automation before you commit to anything — if the math doesn't work, we don't build it. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
I'm a CPA — confidentiality and controls are the profession, not a policy page. I wrote the AI-in-finance control framework for an audited, multi-entity company, and your engagement runs on the same rules: AI never modifies source data, every number that reaches you is human-reviewed, and anything that touches an AI model is scoped to the minimum needed. I'll walk you through exactly what goes where before anything runs, and I'm happy to sign an NDA before the audit.
QuickBooks, NetSuite, Excel and Google Sheets, Bill.com, Ramp, and the systems around them — plus email, since that's where half of ops actually lives. If your stack is different, the audit will tell us quickly whether it's a fit.
That's a valid outcome of the audit — and it's free, so it costs you thirty minutes to find out. If your processes need cleanup before automation makes sense, the shortlist will say that, and it will say what to fix first.
Thirty minutes, free, and you keep the roadmap either way. Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky in person — anywhere remotely.
