Riley Financial Consulting builds the financial foundation growing companies need for a raise or a sale, clean books, sharp models, and a story that holds up under diligence.
Everything ladders up to the same outcome: a business that can withstand scrutiny, whether that's an investor, an acquirer, or your own board.
A bounded, 90–180 day engagement that gets your financials, data room, and story ready, whether you're getting ahead of a raise or sale, or a deal is already on the table and the clock is running.
The infrastructure work that makes readiness possible: clean books, the right tools, and a stabilization plan when cash is tight.
Strategic finance leadership for companies scaling toward a future raise or sale.
We've been the ones answering the diligence list, not just the ones writing it. That shapes every engagement.
We assess what's actually deal-ready today and what a buyer or investor would flag first.
We build the model, the data room, and the reporting, in the order that matters most.
When the request list arrives, we own it. Your team stays focused on operating the business.
We stay through close and into integration, having done it ourselves, not just advised on it.
Different industries, the same standard for what "ready" actually means.

Alex has spent his career building the financial backbone of companies moving fast, from global manufacturing at Intel Corporation, where he spent four and a half years rising from financial analyst to finance team lead, to CFO roles at Ummino and Take Two. He led financial planning and analysis at Craft Brew Alliance, and has advised or run finance for companies across beer, wine and spirits, CPG, nonprofits, and biotech. Across every industry, his focus has stayed the same: build the systems and forecasts leadership can actually trust, then use them to drive real decisions, not just report on them after the fact.
