If you just read the 3‑mistakes guide, the Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap is the next step. 

The guide showed you what can quietly stall your career. This roadmap gives you the full playbook to fix how you're positioned and promoted so you don't stay stuck.  

What You Get Inside The Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap:

  • Becoming a Finance Leader of Influence (239‑page ebook)
    • A practical, go‑to reference on how experienced finance professionals position, promote, and profit from their work using the 3P strategy (Position → Promote → Profit).
  • Implementation Videos
    • Short, practical walkthroughs where I show you exactly how to turn your experience into a clear Finance Impact Narrative (FIN) and apply it to your resume, LinkedIn, and real‑world conversations.
  • 30-Day Visibility Plan
    • A simple daily/weekly checklist to start getting your updated story in front of the right people, inside your company, and in the broader market - without becoming a “look at me” person.
  • Lifetime Updates
    • Any future examples, tools, or refinements I add will automatically show up in your library at no extra cost.
  • Bonus chapter 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.

Inside the Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap You'll Build: 

  • An updated resume that highlights the impact you’ve actually delivered, not just a list of tasks, so hiring managers and leaders can quickly see why you’re worth talking to.
  • A LinkedIn profile that stops reading like a job description and starts signaling “high‑impact finance leader” for the kinds of roles you actually want next.
  • A 30‑day visibility plan that gives you a simple, realistic way to start rebuilding your network and showing up in front of the right people before you need a job.
  • A career‑aligned network that sends you better referrals, intros, and off‑market opportunities instead of you only hearing about roles after they’re already filled.
  • A written Finance Impact Narrative (FIN) you’re confident explaining in performance reviews, networking, and interviews – so you’re no longer the invisible “Excel monkey” doing all the work while someone else gets the credit.

As I add more examples, tools, and refinements to the FIN workspace over time, the price will only go up from there, but you’ll get all future updates included at whatever price you buy in at today.

30-day guarantee: Go through the roadmap, use the exercises, and update your resume and LinkedIn.

If you don't feel it was worth multiples of the price, email me within 30 days, and I'll refund you. No forms or hoops. 

Don't spend $2,000 on something you can do yourself. 

Most career services providers will charge you $1,000- $2,000, hand you a new document, and move on. 

They rarely specialize in accounting & finance, and most of them aren’t actually in the hiring seat anymore (if they ever were).

The Finance Leader of Influence Roadmap is built specifically for experienced accounting & finance professionals and focuses on:

  • Rebuilding how you think and talk about your career, not just swapping templates
  • Giving you a reusable framework (IMPACT‑G), you can apply to every future role
  • Making you self‑sufficient so you don’t have to pay $1,000+ for something you can do on your own with small guidance. 

I’m in the weeds of hiring accounting and finance professionals every day. I can’t place everyone I talk to, but I can share what decision‑makers at Fortune 500s, privately held, and PE‑backed companies actually look for in interviews, resumes, and LinkedIn, and how you can present yourself to land those roles.

Instead of dropping $1,000–$2,000 on a one‑time service, you get the same underlying positioning framework and examples for a fraction of that.

What this is (and isn’t)

This is not a magic template where you paste in a few bullets and suddenly get flooded with offers.

It’s a structured way to do the hard thinking most busy, exhausted finance pros avoid doing for themselves.

That work is where the transformation happens.

It’s why people like Kevin, Greg, and Emily all talk about confidence just as much as interviews and assets. They finally saw how much they’d actually done, and they had the language to prove it and the visibility plan to share it.

What Finance Leaders Are Saying

“Figure out what your finance impact narrative is. If you don’t stick out, you’re going to get left behind. You need this story out in your organization and on your LinkedIn.”

- Kevin, Senior Director of Finance, Fortune 500 Manufacturer (1:1 Implementation client)

“I used Alec’s fractional CFO chapter as a practical guide while standing up part of my own fractional CFO business. The insights on client positioning and value‑based pricing are especially useful for experienced finance professionals considering the transition."

- Dan, Fractional CFO & Experienced Private-Equity backed Finance professional

“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.”

– Greg, Senior Finance Professional (M&A / Investments)

“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)

“There’s no fluff. Every section is relevant to my career and situation. I’m highlighting nearly every paragraph.”

- 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

Why This Matters Now

Top companies are shifting performance reviews away from “how hard you tried” and toward “show me the impact of your work.” CEOs at firms like Amazon, Meta, and Citi are literally asking people for 3–5 accomplishments that prove their results. 

At the same time, the market for experienced accounting and finance professionals has gotten tougher. That’s why you’re seeing more “career services” charging $1,000+ to rewrite your resume, “optimize” your LinkedIn, and even mass‑apply for roles on your behalf, often with disappointing results.

I don’t want you to have to spend $1,000 on something you can do yourself with the right framework. And I don’t want you waiting until you’re in a desperate search to start building the story and network you’ll need.

Building your Finance Impact Narrative and becoming visible now means you have proof of impact and clear messaging ready before a manager, a CEO, or a layoff memo forces you to explain “why should we keep you?” - and it means you’ve already started rebuilding your network so you’re not starting from zero when you need it most.

Who This Is For: 

  • Experienced accounting and finance pros (roughly 5–20+ years). Not entry‑level.
  • People who are great at the work but feel stuck, overlooked, or easy to replace on paper.
  • Job seekers who apply for roles they’re qualified for, and either get instant rejections or hear nothing at all.
  • Finance leaders who know they’ve done real, meaningful work but struggle to explain it quickly and clearly when it matters.
  • Professionals who aren’t actively looking yet, but know the worst time to figure this out is after a surprise reorg, layoff, or bad review.  

This is not for entry‑level candidates or anyone looking for a done‑for‑you “we’ll update your resume and apply to 100 jobs for you” service. It’s for experienced finance pros who are willing to do the thinking once and benefit from it for the rest of their careers.

About Alec

I’m a CPA turned executive recruiter. I started my career in public accounting with a top‑50 firm, then spent 3 years at a Global Fortune 500 search firm placing accounting and finance talent around the country.

After building and running my own search firm for 3 years, Pinnacle acquired my search practice and brought me in to help middle‑market and enterprise companies solve their finance talent gaps with interim and project‑based consultants.

Over the last 7+ years, I’ve interviewed over 4,000 accounting and finance professionals and placed hundreds of them into high‑impact roles: Controllers, Assistant Controllers, and senior finance leaders.

The pattern was always the same: I could only place one person into a role, but I’d talk to 15–20 strong people a week who were under‑selling themselves or telling their story the wrong way.

I created the Finance Impact Narrative (FIN) and this Roadmap to open the kimono on what actually works in interviews, resumes, and LinkedIn so you can present yourself like the top candidates I placed, without needing me to be your recruiter.
