I used to run the numbers for a factory.
Then I automated my own practice.
Twelve years running finance and systems for a manufacturing operation taught me what actually moves the needle: hours recovered, cash visibility, and margin that shows up on the P&L — not vendor promises.
When I started my own accounting practice, I applied the same discipline. I automated the repetitive work. I built the systems I wished I’d had when I was inside the factory. The practice itself became the first real-world case study.
That is Case Study Zero. The numbers are real and they will be published. No hype. Just the hours and the margin.
- • Specific hours recovered per month
- • Rand value impact on margin
- • Clear before-and-after from the practice
- • Peer-level credibility, not vendor theatre
