Cut Through the Noise.
Make AI Work for You.

I'm Susan Roth, a fractional Chief AI Officer and founder of Compass Consulting. I help firms across the Main Line, Greater Philadelphia, and the Tri-State area cut through the noise and make AI actually work — for your team, your clients, and your bottom line.
I specialize in making AI approachable, actionable, and impactful for professional-services firms. My approach blends strategy, empathy, and hands-on know-how to integrate AI into your daily workflow — saving you time and amplifying what makes your business great.

Specialization

Helping professional-services teams make AI practical — to save time, improve workflows, and deliver measurable business value.

Focus

Integrate AI into your everyday operations to simplify work, save time, and enhance productivity.

What I've Built

Boards have stopped asking “what’s our AI strategy?” They’re asking “what shipped this quarter?” Here’s a sample of what I’ve shipped.

Forensic Engineering Report Solution

Field photos and rough notes go in; a draft expert report comes out in the firm’s own template. The engineer accepts, rejects, or edits every observation — the AI drafts, the expert decides. Chain-of-custody and offline capture built to maintain evidentiary integrity.

Government Compliance Automation

Compliance paperwork was eating an owner’s week. AI reads each agency form, fills it from an approved company profile, and flags only what needs a human’s judgment. Sensitive PII stays in a local vault by design — the owner gets back to serving her clients, instead of drowning in form fills.

Finance Reconciliation Assistant

Built for a manufacturer’s finance team: month-end bank reconciliation without the hours in Excel. Software matches the clean items, and AI explains the oddities in plain English. It even catches the transposed digits a tired eye misses and drafts the fix. Nothing posts until a finance leader clicks “approve.”
Read-only data, full audit trail.

AI Literacy and Enablement Programs

Hands-on workshops that give teams a shared AI vocabulary, clear governance and policies on what data goes in and what stays out, and role-specific use cases they can put to work immediately. Participants leave knowing exactly where AI fits in their job — with zero overwhelm. Explore the AI Literacy Hub.
