Meet Ore Phillips
Our AI Services Lead
CCN brought Ore Phillips into the network to help turn our AI philosophy into practical action. He is helping us identify useful applications, equip our consultants, share what works across the network, and build a more intentional approach to AI in finance and accounting.
More Leverage for Your Team
AI for Clients
Finance leaders are being asked to move faster and do more. AI can help when it is applied to the right work, with the right safeguards and the right people involved.
CCN brings experienced finance and accounting talent to the problem first, using AI where it can accelerate routine work, strengthen processes, and create more capacity for analysis, problem-solving, and strategic priorities. Experienced professionals still own the final results.
Use AI to Strengthen Your Expertise
AI for Consultants
AI literacy is quickly becoming part of how modern finance and accounting work gets done. We believe consultants shouldn’t have to figure everything out alone.
CCN is investing in shared learning, practical resources, specialist support, and real-world experimentation so our consultants can build useful AI skills together.
What this Actually Looks Like
AI Accounting in Action
Across the network, consultants are already using AI in practical ways to catch errors, accelerate research, reduce repetitive work, and create more room for judgment.
AP & Cash
Preventing a $34K duplicate payment
AI flagged roughly $34K in a duplicate payment check before it went out. Our consultant reviewed the issue and decided what to do next.
FP&A / Procurement
Saving hours on a deal memo
AI helped create the first draft of a deal memo, cutting a task that used to take 4+ hours to about 30 minutes. A consultant still reviewed and finalized the output.
Technical Accounting
Accelerating deep research
AI helped assemble research for technical accounting memos in hours instead of days. The professional still checked every citation and owns the final judgment.
We’re Learning Together
The AI Accounting Forum
The AI Accounting Forum is one of the ways we’re putting our commitments into practice, creating a place for finance and accounting professionals to compare notes, learn from real applications, and navigate change together.
What's Next
We’re actively investing in our people: building stronger AI fluency, capturing proven use cases, and developing practical learning resources for CCN consultants. Over time, our vision is to share more of what works with the broader finance and accounting community.
If that sounds like the future of finance you want to be part of, there is a place for you in the network.
