Background

About Alec Borlin

I help accounting and finance leaders navigate heavy change - new systems, acquisitions, integrations, growth, and turnover by putting the right people in the right seats at the right time. Most finance teams are not struggling because of skill. They are struggling because of bandwidth. Close deadlines pile up. Reporting backlogs form. Strategic work gets pushed to next quarter again. Leaders spend their days firefighting instead of actually moving the business forward. That is where I specialize.Since leaving public accounting, I have interviewed more than accounting and finance professionals and placed hundreds across the United States. As Market Director for Pinnacle, I partner with Financial Leaders who need experienced consultants that can step in fast, stabilize the workload, and deliver high-quality work with minimal handholding. Our consultants are former CFOs, Controllers, and senior operators who know how to get inside a finance function, fix the gaps, and keep the business on track. We place people who become productive in the first week, not the fourth. Typical situations include:Losing a key team member, preparing for year-end/quarter-end, managing an audit or reporting backlog, supporting a systems upgrade, absorbing new acquisition work, or needing senior oversight without adding permanent headcount.I work heavily with middle-market and PE-backed companies across manufacturing, distribution, real estate, healthcare, technology, and financial services. The common thread is simple: when the team needs stability, accuracy, or more hours in the day, I bring the right consultant in quickly and stay close through completion.Sample projects- Deployed Interim Controller for 950 MM public company to get them through filing 10Q resulting in on-time filling, streamlined accounting processes, and reduction of days to close- Deployed accounting consultant to 200 MM PE-backed manufacturer to enhance inventory accounting. —Beyond consulting, I also help accounting and finance professionals advance their careers through my book and the FIN Framework. Most high performers are technically strong but under-communicate the context and business impact of their work. I teach them how to fix that so they stand out for the right reasons.You can get my Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap at my personal website: alecborlin.me/finIf you need bandwidth for your finance team or you want to advance your own career, feel free to reach out.YouTube:@alecborlinContact: aborlin@pinnacle-cr.comCall/Text: 440-554-1473
