ERP implementations run into trouble when finance joins the project late.

By the time accounting gets involved, the chart of accounts is already built around IT's assumptions instead of the close process. Reporting requirements get added afterward. Change management becomes a scramble instead of a plan.

The implementations that hold up long-term give finance a seat at the design table from day one.

Alliance pairs CPAs who understand the close with the technical team running the build.

A six-week search doesn't have to become a twelve-week one. It's rarely the market's fault when it does.

The most common reasons a search stalls have nothing to do with candidate supply:
Feedback on candidates takes a week instead of a day, the role's real requirements shift mid-search, and offers move slowly while a competing one doesn't.

Candidates with options don't wait for internal alignment. The finance and accounting leaders who land their first-choice hire are usually the ones who moved decisively, not the ones with the biggest budget.

For a search you're planning this fall, the timeline gets set well before the process officially starts. Getting aligned now on criteria and pace is what keeps a six-week search from turning into a twelve-week one.

Alliance's Human Capital Solutions team manages that process end-to-end, from defining the role clearly upfront to closing candidates through to an offer. With that in place, six weeks stays six weeks.

Finance infrastructure at early-stage and high-growth companies is rarely designed all at once. It tends to take shape gradually, built to solve whatever problem is most urgent that quarter.

That approach works until it doesn't. The gaps usually surface during a fundraise, an audit, or a board meeting, right when the cost of fixing them is highest.

We broke down the most common mistakes companies make when building finance from the ground up, and the sequencing that holds up as the business scales.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Amy Nguyen – Senior, Client Advisory

Amy is based in Orlando, FL, and spends much of her time in the day-to-day work that keeps a finance function running: month-end closes, process improvements, and audit support. It's the kind of work that doesn't always get the spotlight, but it's foundational to everything else the Office of the CFO relies on.

What she loves about Alliance is the supportive, collaborative environment and the real opportunities to keep growing professionally.

Outside of work, Amy travels, tries out new recipes, weightlifts, practices hot yoga, and is working on baking sourdough bread. 🍞

A private equity-backed organization was taking more than 20 days to generate a single invoice because its billing process was almost entirely manual.

Alliance designed and deployed an AI-enabled billing solution that extracted billing terms directly from contracts, automated the billing workflow, and applied contract-specific rules to keep every invoice accurate and consistent.

The result: invoice processing time dropped from more than 20 days to just 2 to 4 days, improving cash flow and creating a process that can scale without adding back-office headcount.

Our AI & Data Analytics team helps finance functions turn manual, error-prone processes like this into something that scales.

Finance teams often spend hours each month assembling static reports that are outdated as soon as they're finished.

Alliance's AI & Data Analytics practice includes automated management reporting and KPI visualization, along with finance and operational dashboard design and build, giving teams live numbers instead of static ones.

Ten years in a row. That doesn’t happen by accident, and it doesn’t come down to one deal, one practice, or one person.

We're proud to share that The Alliance Group has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, ranking No. 4,052 nationally with 58% three-year revenue growth.

This marks our 10th consecutive year on the list and places Alliance among only 96 companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 that have earned this recognition 10 or more times.

This achievement belongs to everyone who has been part of Alliance’s story, from the earliest team members who took a chance on a young firm, to every person who has joined since, to every client who trusted us with the work that mattered most to them. It’s also a great moment to be building alongside our newly formed Advisory Board as we take the firm into its next chapter.

Here’s to everyone who helped make this possible and to the next ten years!

A finance function built for a $150M company rarely fits a $400M one. That mismatch tends to stay hidden until it shows up at the worst possible moment, in a board meeting, an audit, or a transaction.

The instinct is usually to look at the people in the roles. A more useful place to start is the structure itself: whether reporting lines, decision rights, and role definitions still reflect the business as it exists today.

We laid out five specific signs a finance function has outgrown its structure, and why the usual fix isn't always the right one.
