About Dave Reilly
For more than 25 years as a CFO/COO, I led organizations through rapid scale, market volatility, operational restructuring, international expansion, and high-stakes financial decision-making. I’ve helped companies grow revenue 30×, guided teams through major business cycles, and stabilized organizations facing intense operational and financial strain. I’m known as a calm, stabilizing anchor: the person people look to when the stakes are high and the path ahead is unclear. Today, as a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide, I bring that same grounded, steady, and analytical leadership to mid-market CEOs, founders, and leadership teams.My clients typically lead businesses with $1M–$100M in revenue and are facing challenges like:• Stalled or inconsistent growth• Leadership team infighting or misalignment• Ineffective meetings and lack of accountability• Rising turnover or low morale• Uncertainty about company direction• Operational inefficiencies preventing scale• Uncertainty about how to leverage AI• Feeling overwhelmed and carrying too much of the load aloneUsing the Pinnacle Business Operating System, I help leadership teams create the clarity, alignment, and discipline they need to reach the top of their mountain. What it’s like to work with me: A steady partner who brings calm to complexity A trusted advisor who blends operational discipline with financial insight A purpose-driven guide who helps leaders focus on what matters most An analytical thinker who cuts through noise and restores clarity A protector of your vision, ensuring decisions align with long-term successMy philosophy is simple:Discipline creates clarity. Clarity creates alignment. Alignment creates growth.Stop the grind and enjoy the climb.If you\'re ready to rise above the fog and build a business that runs with confidence, predictability, and purpose, I am excited to talk with you.
