An Irish practice where finance, BI, and AI come together.
New Waves Consulting helps Irish businesses run their finance back-office, build BI that actually gets used, and harness AI to do both faster and more cost-effectively. We sit deliberately between finance and analytics — and we use AI to remove the friction that traditionally separates them.
Make finance simpler. Make data useful. Let AI do the rest.
Many Irish businesses have plenty of data, plenty of spreadsheets, and not enough clarity. The numbers move, definitions drift, and routine work soaks up time that should be spent on decisions. Our mission is to remove that friction — governed numbers, AI-powered automation, and a senior perspective that keeps everything anchored in real outcomes.
Finance, Business Intelligence, and AI — delivered together, for an efficient, cost-effective service.
Two pillars, one story — both made better by AI.
Finance and Business Intelligence are usually treated as separate disciplines, served by separate suppliers. We don't. The best BI is finance-led — anchored in the questions leaders actually need to answer. The best finance is BI-enabled — automated, governed, and shared at scale. AI runs through both, accelerating delivery and unlocking insights that traditional firms can't match on cost or speed.

We embrace technology — and AI, used well, is the most important shift to hit professional services in a generation. Document intelligence removes manual keying. Anomaly detection catches errors human eyes miss. Generative AI drafts reports, commentary, and analysis at a speed traditional firms can't reach. The result for our clients: a service that's faster, more accurate, and considerably more cost-effective than the status quo.
We're not selling AI. We're using it, every day, behind every service — so you get the benefit without having to build it yourself.
Founder
An experienced finance and analytics leader
The consultancy is led by a senior practitioner with experience as a Director of Business Analytics — combining deep finance grounding with modern BI delivery and active use of AI tooling. The work spans aligning stakeholders around shared definitions, defining KPI frameworks that survive organisational change, designing AI-ready data assets, and shipping BI products that drive measurable adoption.
What this means for you: senior thinking applied directly to your problem, hands-on delivery rather than handoffs, AI used pragmatically (not as a slogan), and a focus on the artefacts — KPI catalogues, semantic models, governed dashboards, automated finance processes — that outlast the engagement.
How we work
Clarity
Plain language, governed definitions, and concise deliverables. If a leader can't act on it, it isn't done.
AI-first delivery
AI is woven through every service — automating the routine and freeing humans for advice, judgement, and interpretation.
Trust
Confidentiality, transparency, and numbers that reconcile. AI accelerates — humans verify and own.
Cost-effective by design
Automation absorbs the routine work — so pricing reflects senior judgement, not the hours used to spend keying data.
Let's talk.
If your finance, BI, or AI ambitions are pulling against each other — that's exactly the conversation we should have.
