About
Finance operations leader for clear closes, stronger controls, and audit-ready decisions.
I’m Michael Nalobin — CPA, CFE, and MBA finance leader with 20+ years across public, PE-backed, and multi-entity corporate environments.
My work sits where accounting discipline, reporting cadence, controls, and operating decisions meet. I help teams turn complex financial reality into reliable closes, executive-ready analysis, and processes that hold up under scrutiny. My approach is practical and hands-on: clarify the numbers, tighten the process, improve accountability, and give management reporting they can use to make better decisions.
BEST FIT
Where I add the most value
I work with privately held, PE-backed, and public companies that need stronger finance operations, cleaner reporting, better controls, or experienced leadership during periods of growth, transition, audit pressure, or system change.
