Finance transformation and hands-on AI for CFOs and business owners
I'm Fidel Salazar. I spent 20+ years running finance operations at Fortune 500 companies. Now I help finance teams fix O2C, P2P and R2R, and put AI to work in their day-to-day.
Two ways to work with Fidaris
Different problems, same rule: the people who own the process grow with the change, or it does not last.
Finance Transformation
O2C, P2P and R2R redesign, shared services, M&A integration and system implementations, run alongside your team until the new way holds.
AI Enablement
Hands-on working sessions where you build something that runs in your business before the session ends: an audit, an SOP, a report that builds itself.
One-on-one executive coaching, group workshops and company programs.
Recent work, and what it changed
Client names stay confidential. The numbers come from the engagement record.
Cut from the monthly FP&A cycle, and the CEO decides faster
An expense and AP approval cycle redesigned with controls built in
Open invoices on one collections platform, across seven entities
How every engagement runs
Discover, Design, Deliver. The plan stays small enough to start next week.
Pre-discovery
A first conversation about your pain points, priorities and goals, and how the discovery should run.
Discover
Sit with the people who do the work, map how it really runs and pull the full data, not a sample.
Design
Agree the target state, the owners and the controls with your team, not for them.
Deliver
Run it alongside you with checkpoints and SOPs, then hand off to your own leads once it is stable.
Questions CFOs ask before the first call
Straight answers on your team, your systems and AI.
Do you replace my team or work with them?
With them. The people who own the process help design the change and run it before I step back. That is why it holds.
Do we need to buy new software?
Not to start. We fix the process first, then automate, often with the tools you already pay for.
Which systems have you worked with?
SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, QuickBooks Online and HighRadius, among others.
