AI Consultant in Sydney for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses
By Rickey Singh, AI transformation strategist. 20+ years helping businesses grow through technology.
Most Sydney businesses know AI matters. Far fewer have the in-house expertise to make it work. Rickey Singh brings senior AI and business strategy to Sydney's small and mid-sized firms, without the overhead of a big consultancy.
The expertise gap holding Sydney businesses back
Australian adoption is uneven. Around 60% of mid-sized firms (50 to 199 staff) use at least one AI tool, but only about 38% of small businesses (5 to 19 staff) do. In CEDA research, 67% of SMEs named a lack of in-house expertise as their main barrier. Sydney has the largest demand in the country for AI consulting, and most of it comes from businesses that need senior guidance without building a team.
Where AI pays back first for Sydney companies
- Professional services: accounting, legal, consulting and agencies, where AI drafts, summarises and researches so senior people bill for judgement, not admin.
- Growing mid-sized firms: AI agents for customer service, sales follow-up and internal reporting that remove the manual work slowing the business down.
- Ecommerce and retail: product content, support and marketing operations automated. Rickey is a Shopify Partner.
How an engagement works
- Private executive consultation (US$250, one hour). Rickey learns the business and identifies the opportunities with the largest return.
- The 7-day sprint. One opportunity, turned into a working system inside your operations in a week.
- Ongoing partnership, if it makes sense. Two to three client partnerships at a time, by design.
Everything runs remotely. Booking slots are shown in Sydney time, with afternoon and evening availability.
