About Dave Bybee

I specialize in building scalable, reliable back-office systems for small and mid-sized businesses — especially where financial complexity hinders growth. My work centers on critical processes like billing, payables, treasury, and reporting, with an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and scale.My expertise includes NetSuite ERP implementation, back-office process design, and AI-assisted automation. I combine strategic architecture with hands-on execution to simplify workflows, remove bottlenecks, and create systems that don’t require constant oversight.Often, this involves consolidating fragmented systems into clear, actionable financial reporting. I focus on presenting information that drives understanding and decision-making — not just data for its own sake.I’ve also supported multiple companies through sell-side financial preparation and due diligence, helping leadership navigate M&A without acting as a broker — ensuring financial operations and reporting stand up to close scrutiny.Focus areas include-NetSuite ERP implementation and optimization- Financial process design (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, treasury, reporting)- AI-driven tools for scaling back-office workflows- Consolidated reporting from fragmented systems- Sell-side M&A financial preparation and due diligence

Experience

1. Principal Consultant

   Accel Cfo

   Sep 2018 — Present · Phoenix, AZ, US

   I transform back-office operations for small and mid-sized businesses whose financial systems and processes can no longer support the pace of the business. Twenty-plus years of finance leadership and systems design allow me to quickly find the gaps and build intelligent, precise solutions that automate repetitive work and free people to focus on the decisions that matter. I also advise clients on developing and executing their AI adoption strategy with the right security and controls.My practice spans fractional CFO leadership, ERP implementation, technology integration, M&A readiness, and financial reporting and intelligence.
