Background
Alicia Dahling is the founder of Dahling Consulting, LLC, bringing 18+ years of finance and operations experience across Fortune 500 companies including Deloitte, KPMG, and EY. With an MBA and Master of Accountancy (MAcc), she specializes in AI automation, cost optimization, and finance operations transformation.
Why She Built This
After advising dozens of organizations on AI implementation, Alicia noticed a critical gap: teams needed cost planning tools before deployment, but enterprise monitoring solutions were too expensive and focused on post-deployment tracking. The LLM Cost Analyzer fills this gap by providing enterprise-grade cost analysis for free, helping teams make smarter decisions upfront.
Community Impact
Beyond consulting, Alicia founded the Anna Dahling Foundation, a nonprofit supporting education and community development. She believes in making powerful tools accessible to everyone, which is why the LLM Cost Analyzer is free forever.
