KAMIL KOŁODZIEJ
I build finance functions that run without babysitting. End-to-end AP automation, AI tooling shipped to production, FP&A built from zero — reclaiming hundreds of hours for your team, every year.
Adaptacja to moja najtwardsza waluta. Finanse to silnik decyzyjny, nie fabryka raportów w Excelu.
Od korporacji po zwinny SaaS buduję systemy które działają bez nadzoru. W Shell i Heineken zarządzałem procesami z ekspozycją ponad €100M rocznie. W SaaS Labs zbudowałem FP&A od zera dla biznesu o skali $30–50M ARR i skróciłem close o 4–5 dni przez automatyzację AP.
Z każdym rokiem jedno przekonanie rosło: manualna praca zabija potencjał analityczny. Dlatego przestałem być użytkownikiem procesów, stałem się ich architektem.
- Transformacje end-to-end od negocjacji z dostawcami po live na platformie.
- Autorskie narzędzia AI gdy gotowe rozwiązania nie wystarczają, koduję własne.
- Automatyzacja poza finansami agenci AI którzy nie biorą urlopu i nie robią literówek.
Twój zespół powinien myśleć. Algorytmy niech liczą.
GL i R2R od podstaw. Tu nauczyłem się czytać anatomię korporacyjnych finansów i zobaczyłem gdzie manualna praca zaczyna zjadać czas analityków.
FP&A, controlling i raportowanie regulacyjne przy ekspozycji €100M+. Dwie role w trzy lata i jedno pewne: przy takiej skali nie ma miejsca na procesy oparte na Excelu.
Pełna funkcja FP&A zbudowana od zera, 5 narzędzi AI wdrożonych w produkcji. Tu wszystko co budowałem wcześniej połączyło się w jeden system.
Over €100M in annual CO₂ exposure — reporting for regulators, board, and external auditors simultaneously. Not a single restatement over the entire period. When the stakes are this high, 'roughly right' is not an option.
Before: invoices matched in Excel, contracts reviewed line by line, reports assembled from four different tabs. After: AP processes without being touched, contracts analysed in minutes, content published automatically. Five tools that don't take holidays and don't make typos.
450 hours a year recovered through one simple fact: manual GL entries in Excel can be replaced by logic that does it on its own. Every new line generated automatically, every month closed without retyping. 450 hours that used to go into the keyboard now go into thinking.
