Get a new hire’s output from the person you already have.
For owner-run companies of 20 to 200 people, Rasberry Advisory rebuilds one desk role around AI inside the tools your team already uses and trains your person to run it. Your person does at least twice the work in 30 days, or we keep working at no charge until they do.
The call takes 20 minutes, and you leave with a plan for the role whether you hire us or not.

A new desk hire costs at least $66,300 a year and three months of ramp-up.
An accounts payable specialist at $51,000 costs at least $66,300 a year once payroll taxes and benefits are added. Recruiting comes on top, and the new person needs three months to reach full speed. Most of the job is email, data entry, matching and reporting, and AI now handles that work well.
| Measure | Hire another accounts payable specialist | Remake the role you have |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | $51,000 salary, $66,300 a year with taxes and benefits | One fixed fee per role |
| When you pay it | Every year you employ them | Once |
| Time to full speed | Recruiting, then three months of ramp-up | 30 days, or 14 working days on Fast Track |
| Who carries the risk | You do, if the hire does not work out | We do: at least 2× in 30 days, or we keep working for free |
| What you keep | A second salary on the payroll | Skills, agents and a trained person, all inside your own accounts |
Run the comparison with your own salary and headcount in the hire or remake calculator.
AI only counts when it shows up on your P&L, and a hire you skip puts $66,300 a year back on yours.
A Role Remake rebuilds one role so one person does the work of two to five.
We take one desk role, map where its hours go with the person who does it, build Claude skills and agents for the heaviest tasks inside your email, accounting system and spreadsheets, and train your person to run them.
Day 30 is measured against day 0 on the same tasks. You get working agents and a trained person, with no roadmap to read and no slide deck to present. Your person keeps their job and gains the capacity you were about to hire for.
Read the worked example: a 60-person distributor’s accounts payable specialist handles 3.4× the work.
Every company that asks gets a 6 Ways Plan like this one. It breaks the role’s week into tasks, names the six changes that take most of the hours back, sets the math against the hire and includes two prompts your person can use the same day.

We map, build, train and measure in 30 days.
-
Days 1 to 3
We map the work with the person who does it.
We record every task, every exception and the hours each one takes, because the exceptions live in that person’s head.
-
Days 4 to 14
We build Claude skills and agents inside your tools.
Each of the heaviest tasks gets an agent that works in your email, your accounting system and your spreadsheets.
-
Days 10 to 21
We train your person until the new way is faster.
We use ADKAR, Prosci’s method for getting people to adopt a new way of working, and your person practices on their own tasks until the agents are part of every day.
-
Day 30
We measure the same tasks against day 0.
The same tasks are timed the same way. The result has to be at least 2×.
Twice the output in 30 days, or we keep working for free.
In days 1 to 3 we map the role’s tasks with your person and count the work they completed on those tasks in the most recent full week, such as invoices entered and matched. That count is the day-0 baseline. On day 30 we count the same tasks the same way. If your person is below twice the baseline, we keep working at no charge until they reach it. We call it the 2x-in-30 Guarantee.
The call takes 20 minutes, and you leave with a plan for the role whether you hire us or not.
We work with owner-run companies of 20 to 200 people that are hiring for desk roles.
A strong fit
- Your company has 20 to 200 people.
- You are hiring, or about to hire, for finance, admin, operations or sales support.
- The role lives in email, spreadsheets and software such as QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite.
- You want the result measured in hours and dollars.
Not a fit
- You want an AI strategy deck or a roadmap.
- The role is mostly physical or in-person work.
- You want AI to replace the person instead of multiplying what they do.
Josh Rasberry runs every Role Remake himself.
Josh builds the Claude skills and agents for each role, trains the person who will use them every day and works directly with owners on the numbers. His most recent Role Remake set up an accountant to handle 3× the work, and the client kept the $200,000+ it had budgeted for new hires.
Owners ask these eight questions before they book.
Will this replace my employee?
No, your person stays, runs the new tools and does the work you were about to hire for. The budget for that hire stays in the business.
Most AI projects fail. Why is this different?
Most AI projects start with a tool and never define success. A Role Remake starts with one role, records a baseline on day 0, measures the same tasks on day 30, and the 2x-in-30 Guarantee covers the gap.
What if my person won't use it?
We train your person with ADKAR, Prosci’s method for getting people to adopt a new way of working. Your person maps the work with us and practices on their own tasks until the new way is faster than the old one. People resist AI when they expect it to take their job, and the Role Remake keeps them in it.
Is our data safe?
Your files and records stay in your own accounts. Claude works inside the systems you already use, and nothing posts or pays until a person approves it.
What AI do you use?
We use Claude, from Anthropic, and set it up inside the tools the role already uses: Outlook or Gmail, QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite, Excel and your shared drives.
What does it cost?
Each Role Remake has one fixed fee, which Josh gives you on the Planning Call. The fee depends on how many tasks the role covers, which systems the AI works inside and whether you choose Fast Track, and Josh shows it next to what the hire would cost you.
Can my team do this themselves?
Your team can start today with the two free prompts in every 6 Ways Plan. The Role Remake adds the work mapping, the agents built into your systems, the training and the measured result.
How long does it take?
A Role Remake takes 30 days from kickoff to the day-30 measurement. Fast Track finishes in 14 working days, so a person you have just hired starts on the new way of working from their first day.

The call takes 20 minutes, and you leave with a plan for the role whether you hire us or not.
Your person does at least twice the work on the mapped tasks by day 30, or we keep working at no charge until they do.
