Two flagship frameworks and five shorter essays — the questions a CFO at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and global commerce considers most consequential. Frameworks, not forecasts.
A
Flagship essays
Each is a full analytical framework, structured in eight sections, with a closing set of numbered principles.
A senior CFO's framework for navigating treasury, on-chain settlement, carbon accounting, MiCA regulation, and audit in the crypto era. The vocabulary is new; the discipline is not.
A senior CFO's framework for governing, deploying, and measuring AI investment in the modern finance function — FP&A, cost structure, controls, organisation design, and capital allocation.
B
Shorter essays
Focused arguments — each one a single question, answered in roughly six minutes of reading.
A CFO's framework for managing a native token in treasury — valuation, hedging, liquidity, and the accounting decisions that have to be made before they become urgent.
MiCA is not primarily a legal problem — it is a finance and controls problem that arrives on the CFO's desk regardless of how the legal team handles it.
On-chain settlement changes the raw material of accounting — the transaction record — and the finance function that adapts to it earns advantages the one clinging to the old workflow cannot match.
The carbon credit market is growing fast and the accounting standards have not kept pace — which means the CFO who does not build a rigorous framework now will be building it under pressure later.
AI does not automate the finance function — it redesigns it. The CFOs who understand the difference will build something significantly more capable than the ones automating tasks at the margin.
