Private AI you own.

Private AI runs inside your own walls. Your data and your prompts never leave your network, are never seen by an outside cloud, and never train someone else's model. And you own it.

A capability Kanton-West brings to a finance function, alongside the hands-on CFO work. Scoped here, built by the TransformationWorks engineering team.

What it is

Private AI, built for regulated work.

Private AI means running AI in a closed environment, on dedicated hardware inside your own network, so your data and prompts never leave your control and no outside platform can see them or train on them. Built for the sector, with a person keeping the judgment.

Private by design

The AI runs on dedicated hardware inside your own environment, never a shared public cloud. Nothing is handed to a third party.

You own it

The delivered system, your data and your intellectual property stay yours, inside your walls. You are not renting someone else's model.

A price you can budget

A scoped build, a fixed monthly fee, and no usage fees. Predictable however much your people use it.

Consultancy-led

Discovery and design come before any build, so every deployment reflects how your people actually work, not a generic template.

For the finance function

Close faster. Report sooner. Scale without hiring.

A team of specialised finance agents working alongside your finance function, built by people who have run finance, and deployed inside your own environment.

Reporting

Board packs, management accounts and variance commentary, drafted from live system data, in your format, every cycle.

Invoicing

Generated, validated and dispatched, from purchase order to revenue recognition, with no manual touchpoints.

Payroll

Calculated, compliance-checked and processed every cycle, with the statutory rules handled by default.

Accounts receivable

Chasing, payment matching, dispute triage and debtor reporting, automated end to end.

Accounts payable

Invoice capture, three-way matching, approval routing and payment. Your team reviews the exceptions only.

Procurement

Purchase orders, vendor management and spend control, run against policy, with a full audit trail.

A layer above your ERP. Connected, not converted. Nothing migrated, nothing replaced.
Private by architecture. The agents run inside your environment, and your ledger never leaves it.
The finance team keeps the judgment. The agents absorb the repetitive work; people review, approve and decide.
The IP stays yours. The models, rules and learnings built on your data belong to you.

It begins with a short, fixed-scope diagnostic: your processes and systems mapped, the highest-value agents identified, and a build plan you can take or leave. The first agent goes live in weeks, and the platform grows one agent at a time.

Why now

Most AI lives on someone else's cloud.

The cost follows usage

AI on the public cloud is getting more expensive and harder to budget. The bill follows how much you use it, not how many people you employ.

The rules are tightening

Data-protection rules are tightening on where sensitive information may be processed. For finance, putting client data on a shared cloud is getting harder to justify.

AI is coming in-house

Organisations are bringing AI back inside their own walls. That is the shift TransformationWorks was built for.

Who is behind it

Run like a business, built in-house.

Private AI is only worth owning if the people behind it are real. Here they are.

The South African licence

Scoped here. Built globally.

Kanton-West holds, through SATalent1st, the exclusive South African licence for TransformationWorks. One appointment, covering the whole market. For a South African business that means Private AI with a local principal: scoped and stood behind here, while the engineering, across Silicon Valley, Singapore and Melbourne, builds and maintains it.

The private AI is a capability brought to the table. The finance work itself is still done personally.
