About

Meet Tal and Roei

Before the professional introductions, three things about us:

  1. We are not just business partners. We are also siblings.

  2. We are third-generation accountants in Israel, with a family firm: Hagai Wallenstein & Co.

  3. No one in our family wears red. We are a family of Maccabi fans.

WHY AI FINANCE

Why we do this

We are helping bring AI and finance into the same conversation. Where there is hesitation, we bring demonstrations, questions and a way to try things responsibly. Progress starts with understanding what is possible, what is appropriate and what needs a human decision.

Beyond being partners, we are also siblings.
