Done-for-you AI helpers · Arundel, Maine
A helper for everything else.
You do the job, serve the client, or run the shop. Finch sets up an AI helper that handles the work around it: the quotes, the follow-ups, the reminders, the paperwork.
It drafts and watches. You say yes.
Built for owner-operators: anyone who owns the business and does the work.

By day, the work.
By night, everything else.
Quotes, follow-ups, invoices, scheduling, renewals, receipts, the team. Cheap AI tools are everywhere, but someone still has to set them up, teach them your business, and keep them working. That someone is usually you. Finch does that part.
// how it works
Four steps. Skip any of them.
- LearnA talk, a 1:1 private session, a group workshop, or a 4-week cohort that ends with a helper of your own.
- SetupRather have it done for you? We build it with you, on your accounts, in your voice, with a 30-day tune-up.
- Stay sharpAn optional, modest retainer: a monthly "what we'd improve" list, priority help, a quarterly check-in.
- Pay per jobOnly for real work you pick, at a flat price agreed before we start. Or pick nothing.

// why finch
An operator, not a tech agency.
Built by Rob Maxwell: 24+ years in retail and consumer-products operations and growth, including Whole Foods operations, CPG growth leadership, and COO roles. Costs, margins, suppliers, paperwork, small teams: known firsthand.
- Gardener, not landlord. You own every account and pay your tools directly. We tend the system; we don't hold your data. An optional system-only health report (what ran, what broke), never customer data or financials.
- You stay in charge. Nothing posts, sends, or gets paid without your OK.
- Plain English, no lock-in. Every setup is documented so it's yours to keep.
// quick answers
Fair questions.
Do I need to be good with tech?
No. If you can answer an email, you can run your helper.
Who owns my accounts and data?
You do. We work as an invited user, access only what a fix needs, and only with your permission.
Will it post or send things on its own?
Only what you've approved. You decide what needs your yes.
Does it do my taxes?
No. It gathers documents and flags gaps; your accountant does the taxes.
Can I stop the retainer?
Anytime. If it isn't earning its keep, we'll tell you first.
Do you give talks?
Yes: plain-English talks and hands-on workshops for chambers, associations, and trade groups across southern Maine and seacoast NH, or virtual. Email to ask.
Let's see what your helper could take off your plate.
