Your Team Is Doing Work That AI Should Be Doing

I map exactly where — and hand you a prioritized plan to fix it. Fixed fee. No retainer is required.

Most $5M–$50M companies are running on manual processes that quietly cost six figures a year in wasted hours, slow quotes, missed follow-ups, and decisions made without data. The tools to fix this exist and are cheaper than most people think. What is missing is someone who understands both the technology and how your business actually runs.

That is what I do. Twenty years plus across PwC, BearingPoint, SAP, and Wipro — now applied to mid-market companies that do not have a CTO or tech-savvy COO and do not need one.

No pitch. You answer four questions before we talk, so the call starts with your situation, not my background.

Big-4 rigor. Operator execution. PE outcomes.

Background

Enterprise Rigor. Operator Reality.

I am Andy Mahfooz. Twenty years plus across PwC, BearingPoint, SAP, The Hackett Group, KPIT and Wipro — implementing technology in companies where a failed rollout costs millions, and architecting, selling, and directing implementation of complex business and technology solutions where the business case had to hold up under real scrutiny.

More recently I have worked directly with private equity and venture-backed companies as an interim revenue leader (CRO) and operating partner (COO) and built an AI-native revenue recovery platform for home services operators. That combination is unusual, and it is the point: I have done enterprise-grade implementation, and I have run hands-on operating work in small companies where nobody has a spare hour or extra money.

What that means for you: I know which enterprise practices actually transfer to a mid-market company, and which ones are expensive theatrics

open enterprise doors, and build repeatable sales systems

The Problem

The Gap Is Not Technology. It Is Translation.

Enterprise companies have had AI-driven operations for years. They have the budgets, the internal teams, and the consultants to make it work. Mid-market companies have been sold applications, technology and software they never fully implemented, by vendors who did not understand their operations.
The result is predictable: expensive tools nobody uses, workflows still running on spreadsheets and memory, and an owner-operator who has stopped believing any of it will help.
The technology is not the hard part anymore. Knowing which three things to automate first — and which twelve to ignore — is the hard part. That requires someone who has sat on both sides: enterprise technology implementation, and hands-on operations reality.

Quick proof:

How I Work

Start With a Diagnostic. Expand Only If It Is Worth It.

Every engagement begins with a fixed-fee audit. What happens after that is your decision — and only makes sense if the audit proves it will pay for itself.

AI Operations Audit

Find out exactly what AI can do for your operation — before spending a dollar on tools.

I map your workflows from first customer contact to final invoice, identify where time and margin are leaking, and rank every automation opportunity by return and speed. You leave knowing three things: what to fix first, what it will cost, and what it should return. You can execute that with your own team, another vendor, or with me.
WHAT CHANGES AFTER THE AUDIT
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
PRICING
TIMELINE: 2–3 weeks from kickoff. Your team spends about 3 hours total.

Implementation Sprint

Build the two or three things that matter most — in 30 to 60 days.

Most companies do not need a full transformation. They need two or three specific bottlenecks removed. I build and implement them alongside your team, then train your people to run and extend them without me.

WHAT YOU GET

PRICING: Value-based fixed fee, scoped from your audit findings. Typically, $15,000 to $40,000.

Implementation Sprint
Design and run focused pilots that demonstrate value and lead to signed revenue

Design and execute Proof of Value (PoV) pilots that demonstrate business value and lead to signed revenue

Build scalable go-to-market strategies that fit your product, buyer, and team

Build scalable go-to-market and revenue generation strategies customized to your solution/product needs

Advise on partnerships, positioning, and sales operations to support long-term growth

Advise on sales training, operations and strategic partnerships to enable long-term growth

Sample 30/60/90 Day Snapshot

0-30 days:

Discovery, pilot targets, partner shortlist, commercial SLAs.

31-60 days:

Launch paid pilot(s), KPI dashboards, weekly cadence.

61-90 days:

Close ARR, scale into additional accounts, hand off playbook.

Four Questions Before We Talk

Four Questions Before We Talk

Booking sends you four short questions. Answering them takes about three (3) minutes and means our call starts with your situation instead of my background. If it is clearly not a fit, I will tell you on the call and point you somewhere better.

SHOW THE FIVE QUESTIONS AS A LIST:

  • What are the two or three things in your operation that eat the most time or cause the most friction?
  • How long has that been the case?
  • If it were solved, what would change — more revenue, lower cost, less chaos, something else?
  • How would you know it worked? What are the metrics for success? What number(s) would move?
  • What have you already tried?

FAQ

Q: Do I have to commit to a monthly retainer?
A: No. Most engagements are value-based, fixed-fee, and finite — an audit, or an audit plus a build sprint. Ongoing retainers exist for companies that want them, but they are not the starting point.
A: Then that is what it tells you, and you have spent a small amount to avoid a large mistake. I would rather give you an honest no than sell you a project that will not pay for itself and deliver notable value to your company.

A: On the value of the outcome, not hours worked. The audit is priced by scope so you know the number before we start. Anything beyond it is a fixed fee agreed in advance, based on what the work is worth to your business — never an hourly rate, never an open-ended engagement.

A: Almost never. Most of the value comes from connecting and automating what you already have. If a replacement genuinely makes sense, I will show you the numbers — but it is never an essential requirement.
A: For the audit, about three hours total across two to three weeks — one kickoff conversation, a few short workflow interviews, and a final review session. The rest happens on my side.
A: Mid-market operating companies — home services and trades, construction and specialty contracting, professional services, oil and gas, logistics and transportation, manufacturing and distribution. The common thread is a real operation with real workflows, not a technology company.

A: The audit is deliberately structured so that I am paid whether or not you hire me for anything else. If the honest answer is that two inexpensive tools and a process change will fix your problem, that is what the roadmap will say.

Flexible Engagement Model

I offer flexible engagement options based on each client’s unique goals, timelines, budgets and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a short-term sprint or proof-of-concept, GTM technology play guidance, interim leadership, or strategic advisory, I’ll tailor the model to fit your needs.

Why This Works

  • De-risked pilots convert buyer reluctance and skepticism into contracts.

  • Reduces customer acquisition costs and accelerates adoption.

  • Enables cross-functional teams collaboration.

Who This Is For

Built for Operators, Not Tech Companies

This is a fit if:

You do $5M to $50M in revenue and do not have a CTO or tech-savvy COO
Your team spends real hours on work that feels like it should be automated
You have bought software before that never got fully used
You want to know what is worth doing before you commit to a budget
You can make a decision without a six-month committee process

This is not a fit if:

You are looking for someone to write code or manage a development team
You want a technology vendor rather than an advisor
You need enterprise-scale change management across thousands of employees
