For experienced accounting and finance professionals

You already have the track record. You just don't know how to make it visible to the people who need to  see it. 

Maybe you're doing the work but not in the rooms where decisions get made.

Maybe you're applying for roles you're qualified for and getting rejected before anyone even reads your resume.

Maybe you've been at the same level for two or three years waiting for someone to notice.

Maybe you're doing the job of someone two levels above you and getting paid like someone two levels below.

None of that is you lacking the ability to do the job.

It's you not knowing how to show that you can.

And that's not your fault - nobody in accounting or finance ever taught you that you needed to.

So you never learned it. You just kept doing great work and hoping the right people would eventually notice.

Most never do.

Here's why.

You were trained to be precise. Debits and credits. Chart of accounts. Journal entries. Account reconciliations.

You were trained to deliver the most important output in the building - financial statements that were accurate, on time, and gave leadership what they needed to make decisions.

Nobody trained you to talk about what those numbers meant for the business.

Nobody showed you how to connect your work to the decisions it enabled, the problems it solved, or the value it created.

So when you walk into an interview, sit down for a performance review, or get a recruiter on the phone - you do what you were trained to do.

You list what you did.

And the person on the other side hears a job description, not a reason to bet on you.

That gap - between the work you've done and the story you're telling about it - is what's quietly costing you promotions, offers, and opportunities you're completely qualified for.

The window to do this on your own terms is getting smaller.

The market for experienced accounting and finance professionals has gotten more competitive, not less.

Companies are running leaner finance functions. Performance reviews are shifting away from "how hard you worked" toward "show me the specific impact you drove." The bar for how you need to present yourself - in interviews, in reviews, in every high-stakes conversation - has gone up.

The professionals who are winning right now aren't necessarily the most experienced ones in the room.

They're the ones who can clearly articulate why their experience matters.

And if you need one more reason to stop waiting - AI is accelerating all of this.

The transactional parts of accounting and finance are being automated faster than most people realize. The professionals who will be most protected aren't the ones who close the books fastest.

They're the ones who can explain what the numbers mean, why it matters, and what the business should do about it.

That's not a new skill. It's just one nobody ever taught you how to demonstrate.

The good news is there's a structured way to fix this - and it doesn't require starting from scratch.

Here's what that looks like

The Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap gives you a structured, repeatable way to do the one thing nobody in accounting or finance ever taught you:

Take the work you've already done and translate it into the language that gets you promoted, hired, and paid what you're worth.

The core of it is a framework called IMPACT-G.

It walks you through every significant role you've held and pulls out what actually happened - the context you walked into, the problems you inherited, the actions you took, and the tangible results the business saw because of your work.

Most people who go through it say the same thing:

"I can't believe how much I forgot I'd done."

That becomes your Finance Impact Narrative - a clear, confident story of your track record that works in interviews, performance reviews, recruiter calls, and LinkedIn. Not a task list. Not a job description. A reason to bet on you.

What finance professionals are saying after going through the Roadmap:

"I was a very technical accountant who rambled through a list of projects and had a resume with no real story. Alec's program forced me to slow down, connect the dots, and translate my work into a clear, compelling narrative. I realized I'd accomplished far more than I was giving myself credit for - and my confidence in my own value went way up."

- Emily, Accounting Manager (8+ years with the same company)

"It is easy in finance and accounting to keep your head down and focus solely on the work. Alec showed me the importance of becoming my own advocate - both internally and externally."

- Kevin, Senior Director of Finance, Fortune 500 Manufacturer

Here's what's inside the Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap:

Becoming a Finance Leader of Influence: A full 239-page searchable reference Not a cover-to-cover read. A complete framework you open when you need it - before a review, before an interview, before a recruiter call.

Every section is built around how experienced finance professionals position, promote, and profit from their work using the 3P strategy.    

FIN Implementation Videos: Short, practical walkthroughs that show you exactly how to build your Finance Impact Narrative and apply it to your resume and LinkedIn - so you can clearly and confidently communicate your value in every high-stakes career conversation.   

30-Day Visibility Plan: A simple, realistic daily and weekly checklist to start getting your story in front of the right people - inside your company and in the broader market - without becoming a "look at me" person.

Built specifically for busy finance professionals who don't have time for a second job.   

Lifetime Updates: Every example, tool, or refinement added going forward is included automatically at no extra cost - at whatever price you buy in at today.  

Bonus - Fractional CFO Chapter: A dedicated guide for finance leaders thinking about launching a fractional CFO practice in the next 1-5 years.

How to position yourself, pick the right clients, and avoid underpricing yourself when you go solo.

Here's what that translates to in practical terms:

A clear, documented track record of the impact you've had across your career - so you can confidently showcase the value you've driven and the problems you've solved instead of trying to piece it together on the fly when it matters most.

A resume that stands out from every other accounting and finance professional applying for the same roles - so hiring managers and leaders can immediately see the value you'd bring to the organization instead of passing you over for someone who simply did a better job of showcasing how their experience aligned with what the role actually needed.

A LinkedIn profile that signals high-impact finance leader for the kinds of roles you actually want next - not a digital version of your old resume that blends in with everyone else at your level.

A 30-day visibility plan that helps you start building and nurturing a network that becomes a career asset for life - set up in a way that's realistic for busy finance professionals and doesn't feel like a second job.

- Derrick, Controller, $500M Manufacturing Company

"I'm blown away by the sheer depth and breadth of the book. I thought this would be another career guide, but it's a complete blueprint that's modular, tactical, and actionable at every level."

- Cody, FP&A Director, Fortune 500 Company

"Alec's IMPACT-G framework gave me a clear way to explain to executives why my work was necessary and how it added value to the organization - instead of just listing responsibilities."

One-time investment: $97

No subscription. No upsells. Everything included from day one.

Most career services charge $1,000-$2,000 to rewrite your resume and LinkedIn. They hand you a new document and move on - with no plan for how to actually get it in front of the right people.

A prettier document in the same invisible place isn't a solution.

I interview accounting and finance professionals every week. I'm engaged by Fortune 500s, private equity-backed portfolio companies, and fast-growing privately held organizations to find and place their finance leaders.

I know what decision-makers are looking for. I know what makes them stop paying attention. I know what they're sick of seeing. And I know what actually makes them say yes.

The Roadmap is grounded in all of that real-world experience. No theory.

Not a one-time document. A reusable system you own for life.

This is for you if:

You're an experienced accounting or finance professional - roughly 5 to 20+ years in. Not entry-level.

You're great at the work but feel stuck, overlooked, or underpaid relative to the value you're actually delivering.

You're applying for roles you're qualified for and either getting instant rejections or never hearing back.

You've done real, meaningful work throughout your career and want to be more confident communicating that value to the people who need to hear it.

You're not actively looking right now - but you're career growth oriented and want to make sure you're always positioned for the next opportunity when it comes.

This is not for you if:

You're looking for someone to write your resume and apply to jobs for you.

You're entry-level or early in your career.

You're not willing to put in a few focused hours to do the thinking this framework requires.

About Alec

I'm a CPA turned executive recruiter.

I started in public accounting, then spent three years at a global Fortune 500 search firm placing accounting and finance talent across the country. After building and running my own search practice for three years, I sold it to Pinnacle to stand up their consulting and executive search practice in Cleveland.

Over the last 7+ years I've interviewed more than 4,000 accounting and finance professionals and placed hundreds of them into high-impact roles.

Here's what I kept seeing.

I could only place one person into each role. But every week I was talking to 15-20 strong candidates who were underselling themselves - not because they lacked the experience, but because they didn't know how to talk about it in a way that landed.

They were great at the job. They just couldn't show it.

I built the Finance Impact Narrative and the Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap to change that - to give every accounting and finance professional access to what I see working in hiring conversations every single day, without needing me as their recruiter to get there.

One important note.

This isn't a template. It's a framework that requires you to do the thinking most finance professionals have been avoiding for years.

That thinking is exactly where the value is.

You've already done the hard part.

The work is there. The track record is real.

The only thing missing is knowing how to make it visible to the people who need to see it.

That's what the Roadmap is for.
