ABOUT
Our background in finance that moves businesses forward
Our mission is to help businesses build finance functions that improve visibility, accountability, and performance
I am Sevilay Alan, CFA, a strategic finance leader with more than 20 years of experience across investment banking, GE Energy, Coca-Cola, consulting, and CFO advisory. My background spans industrial, manufacturing, technology, professional services, and consumer goods.
I build finance capabilities that improve planning, reporting, controls, and decision support. I work with leadership teams to strengthen the connection between financial data, operational execution, and strategic priorities.
Over the course of my career, I have led finance initiatives in global, PE-backed, and multi-entity environments, improved forecast accuracy, accelerated close and planning cycles, supported growth and profitability improvement, and led diligence, M&A, and integration work.
Why Alan Corporate Finance Consultancy
We combine strategic finance leadership with practical execution. That means helping clients not only see what the numbers say, but also build the planning, reporting, and operating discipline needed to move forward with confidence.
We are particularly well suited to businesses facing inflection points—whether that means scaling, improving visibility, preparing for investment, strengthening finance operations, or navigating complex decisions that require both analytical rigor and operational follow-through.
Due Diligence, M&A, Integration, and Value Creation Support
We support business cases, financial modeling, diligence, integration planning, post-close reporting, and finance workstreams that help businesses create value before and after a transaction. This is especially relevant for companies navigating acquisitions, integrations, carve-outs, or preparation for investment.
Systems and ERP Readiness
We help leadership teams translate finance needs into practical system requirements and implementation priorities. This may include readiness assessments, finance requirements gathering, process alignment, reporting structure design, data mapping, training support, and migration planning for manual or fragmented systems.
Finance Transformation and Process Improvement
We modernize finance operations to improve speed, consistency, and reliability. This can include process redesign, close acceleration, reporting structure cleanup, chart of accounts redesign, workflow improvement, controls strengthening, and finance operating model redesign.
Services
Alan Corporate Finance Consultancy supports leadership teams that need stronger finance capabilities during growth, change, or increased complexity. We provide senior-level finance leadership with both strategic perspective and hands-on execution.
KPI Dashboards and Performance Management
We design KPI frameworks, executive dashboards, and performance review structures that make results easier to understand and act on. This may include project, product, customer, or business-line profitability views, along with revenue, margin, cost, cash flow, and working capital tracking.
FP&A, Budgeting, and Forecasting
We build planning frameworks that help leaders look ahead with confidence. This includes annual operating plans, rolling forecasts, driver-based budgeting, scenario analysis, long-range planning, and management reporting that connects business assumptions to financial outcomes.
Fractional CFO and Strategic Finance Advisory
We provide senior-level finance leadership for businesses that need stronger financial direction without hiring a full-time CFO. This work often includes executive decision support, board- and investor-ready reporting, growth planning, and improved visibility into profitability, working capital, and cash flow.
Our Strategic Approach
Our approach is analytical, practical, and tailored to the realities of each business.
We begin by understanding business needs, whether in reporting, forecasting, controls, systems, profitability, EBITDA, cash flow visibility, or operating cadence.
From there, we design, build, and implement solutions hands-on and in collaboration with business teams.
Step 1: Diagnose Business Needs
We identify opportunities and gaps in reporting, forecasting, performance management, controls, and operating cadence that limit decision-making confidence.
Step 2: Design Practical Solutions
We build finance capabilities tailored to how the business actually operates, not generic frameworks.
Step 3: Execute With Rigor
From rebuilding forecasts and refining KPIs to accelerating close and planning cycles, we deliver measurable outputs, not just recommendations.
Step 4: Build Lasting Capability
We leave businesses with stronger finance infrastructure, scalable processes, and better decision-making discipline.
