Alchemy · Automation
Alchemy is arboleda’s automation practice. We rebuild your core finance and operations processes — close, AP/AR, reporting, approvals — as dependable AI-powered workflows, using whatever fits your stack: Claude, LangChain, Manus, native ERP features or light scripting.
The processes where finance and ops teams lose the most hours — and where automation pays back fastest.
Every engagement is scoped from the audit — fixed price, fixed timeline, no surprises.
01
2–3 weeks · fixed scope
We map 10–15 of your core finance and ops processes, score each for automation potential, effort and ROI, and identify the top five with estimated hours and dollars saved. You get a prioritised automation roadmap and an executive readout. The starting point for every client — low risk, fast, and the roadmap pays for itself.
02
4–10 weeks · scoped from the audit
We implement automation for your three to five priority processes — close checklist automation, AP approval flows, automated board reporting, expense workflows. Staff training and handover documentation included. Tooling is vendor-neutral: whatever fits your stack, never what earns a commission.
03
Monthly · ongoing
We maintain and improve what we built: monthly health checks, break-fix, small enhancements and a quarterly ROI report — so the automations keep paying off as your tools and team change.
Who Alchemy is for
A 150-person company where finance spends eight days on month-end close and the ops team lives in spreadsheets. The CFO knows there’s waste — Alchemy quantifies it, then removes it.
The Ops Audit tells you exactly what to automate first — and what it’s worth. Scoped within 48 hours of your intake.
