Hi, I'm Alison Zinger- a CMA, CPA with 25+ years of finance and accounting experience, primarily in corporate roles across diverse industries including home textiles, construction, engineering, real estate, biotechnology, and IT services. My career has been shaped by deep involvement in the day-to-day financial operations of small to mid-sized businesses- giving me a front-row seat to what helps a business grow, and what holds it back.

While much of my work has focused on traditional finance and operational support, I've also been trusted to lead initiatives that improved profitability, streamlined processes, and supported company-wide change. Today, I bring that blend of practical experience and strategic thinking to business owners who want more clarity and control over their numbers.

Behind every successful business is a trusted advisor who sees what others miss.

Helping You Build a Smarter, More Profitable Business- One Strategic Move at a Time

My Approach

Most accountants look backward. I help you look ahead.

I go beyond compliance- this is strategic financial guidance designed for growth. I work alongside business owners like you to give meaning to your numbers, uncover missed opportunities, and build action plans to drive cash flow and profit.

I bring structure, insight, and strategic guidance to your business- without the salary of a full-time CFO.

What I Bring to the Table

Before launching my advisory firm, I held senior finance roles across multiple industries including automotive manufacturing, real estate, and home builder construction. In these roles, I didn’t just close books — I transformed operations.

Why I Do This

After decades of working in corporate finance for medium-sized businesses, I realized the part I loved most was effecting change and contributing to the growth of the organization. Now, by providing business owners with metrics and insights on a monthly basis, I can help them truly understand their business- not just their books, and guide them to realizing their goals.

If your numbers feel unclear and decisions feel uncertain, or if your business is doing "okay" but could be doing so much better, let's change that.

Let's Work Together

I offer a flat-fee monthly advisory service designed for simplicity, clarity, and impact. No complicated contracts. No jargon. Just a collaborative relationship focused on your business goals.
