Our story
Practitioner-led advisory.
Finspyr was founded in 2023 by Tariq Munir. Before that, he spent two decades leading finance and transformation at Fortune 500 and Big 4 consulting. Again and again, he saw the same pattern: big technology bets, small returns, because the process and the people never changed.
He wrote the best-selling Reimagine Finance (Wiley) to show leaders a better way, and founded Finspyr to do it in practice. Today he advises boards and executive teams, speaks on stages from Barcelona to Singapore, trains senior leaders on AI transformation, is a LinkedIn Learning instructor, and Top Voice.
Mission
Turn AI ambition into measurable value.
We identify and address business need and apply technology only where it earns its place, while staying 100% vendor- and tool-agnostic.
Vision
Build enterprises where AI makes people more valuable, not less.

Operating model redesign
From scattered pain points to a new operating design.

operating design and roadmap, built on insight from every function
Technology vendor evaluation
Choosing a data platform on evidence, not vendor pitches.
- Challenge.
- Data sat across field, operations and finance systems, and every vendor offered a different platform answer.
- What we did.
- Defined the data products and resulting architecture the business needed first, then evaluated vendors against them, independently.
- Outcome.
- A data product strategy and a vendor selection and due diligence process the leadership team could defend.

from RFP to independent evaluation of vendor capabilities
AI-powered process excellence
Finding the waste in order to cash, in one week.
- Challenge.
- Order to cash ran across several systems and teams, and nobody could see where orders actually stalled.
- What we did.
- Ran AI-powered process mining on system event data to map the real path of every order, end to end.
- Outcome.
- Every source of waste located and ranked, so the fixes could start on evidence rather than opinion.

process waste identified within one week
