About Practora

AI workflow consulting, built by people who've worked inside finance and shipped the products it runs on.

Practora is a consulting firm. We help teams turn manual internal work into AI workflows that operate inside the finance, CRM, HR, project, and document systems they already use.

Why Practora exists

Most consultancies lean one way: deep operational knowledge or strong product and engineering chops. We've found you need both to ship something that survives contact with a real finance team.

Kendra spent years inside finance and operations as a management accountant. She knows where coordination breaks down, what the reporting calendar actually looks like, and which work is worth automating. Grant has built and shipped fintech products at scale: Token.com, Nomo Bank, Tesco Bank. He knows what's worth building, what should stay a spreadsheet, and how to integrate either one with the systems teams already trust.

We started Practora to bring that combination to the teams that need it. Most don't need another tool. They need a partner who can sit alongside the team, find the work worth changing, and ship it inside the systems they already run.

How we work

Three principles every engagement runs on.

Operate inside existing systems

We build into the tools, permissions, and approvals you already trust. No new platform to migrate to.

Prove ROI before scaling

We start with the workflow most likely to pay back fast, baseline it, then expand once the value is real.

Human-led, AI-prepared

AI does the preparation work. Approval, judgement, and final action stay with your team.

Built by us

We use our own product to run our own books.

Spark handles our invoice intake, reconciliation, and cash reporting end-to-end. When we work with you, we bring the same approach, adapted to your stack, your approvals, and your data. It's also the easiest way to see the kind of agent we'd build for you before we build it.
