Develop AI cost KPIs such as cost per task/workflow/case/user, cost per avoided hour, cost per token, and cost per business outcome.
Partner with Accounting and Controllers to evaluate capital-versus-expense treatment for AI-enabled products, agents, platforms, data work, implementation costs, software development, licensing, and ongoing support.
Create repeatable standards, templates, decision trees, and governance routines for AI financial review, including intake requirements, cost categories, benefit taxonomy, accounting considerations, O&M tail assumptions, and evidence of value realization.

What success looks like

AI initiatives have clear, decision-ready business cases connecting technical scope, model usage, implementation cost, run-rate O&M, accounting treatment, and measurable outcomes.
Savings and productivity benefits are assigned to accountable business owners, incorporated into forecasts or budgets where appropriate, and tracked through realization.
AI consumption is financially transparent through repeatable views of token usage, model selection, unit economics, cost drivers, vendor pricing, and optimized run-state recommendations.
Accounting, Finance, IT, and business teams share a common framework for capital-versus-expense evaluation, O&M tails, and financial governance for AI agents, platforms, and enabled capabilities.
