SKILLS
ABOUT PAUL KANTOROVICH
I take finance teams from manual reporting to AI-powered operations that run in production and reach the board.At Foodtastic, I lead FP & A across a portfolio of restaurant brands and franchise locations while building the automation infrastructure that makes AI useful in corporate finance. My flagship system reduced monthly board-level performance commentary from 12+ hours of analyst time to under 3 hours, replacing analyst-synthesized call notes with direct operational input and automated financial metric integration. The output goes to our executive team and board every month.Beyond FP & A operations, I support M&A due diligence and integration planning, and have documented measurable EBITDA improvements through AI-assisted analysis.I have also trained 20+ finance team members to move from ad-hoc ChatGPT usage to systematic AI workflows with proper context management and quality controls. Building individual tools creates value once. Building organizational capability compounds.Previously at PSP Investments ($300B AUM), where I built portfolio optimization models for the Real Estate team that influenced hundreds of millions in capital deployment decisions.I build production systems using Claude Code, Python, and Power BI.
