The strong foundation your business has been missing.
Founder-led SOX advisory, internal controls, and AI adoption for finance, accounting, and operations teams building toward audit, scale, or an IPO, laid one solid block at a time.
Where growing teams get stuck
Growth outpaces process. Then external audit requests begin—or the board starts asking about AI—and there’s no clear framework to point to.
Controls built ad hoc
Policies exist on paper but weren’t designed to hold up under real audit scrutiny.
Audit prep starts too late
Readiness work gets squeezed into the weeks before fieldwork instead of built in advance.
Process can’t scale
What worked at one entity breaks down across multi-state or multi-entity operations.
AI pilots stall
Tools get tested but never adopted, because there’s no governance or training.
Building blocks for a stronger organization
Every engagement is senior-led: the person you meet on the discovery call is the person doing the work.

Senior-led, not staffed down.
“Every engagement gets the same person on day one and day two hundred, no hand-offs to a junior team you’ve never met.”
Bricks Advisory is led by Alyssa Clarcq, a CPA and SOX Director with Big 4 training and deep AuditBoard implementation experience. That means Big 4-level rigor, direct senior involvement on every project, and none of the large-firm overhead or staffing churn.
AI adoption that actually sticks.
I help finance teams, and the businesses around them, move past AI experiments into real, governed adoption.
