About Josh Alessi

I lead finance transformation efforts with a strong focus on SAP and tools like BlackLine and Alteryx. My work centers on improving how finance teams operate day to day, especially in areas like the accounting close, accounts payable, and rebate accruals by simplifying processes, improving data flow, and automating where it makes sense. I’ve spent over a decade partnering with finance, IT, and operations to modernize core processes and make them more reliable and easier to manage.I enjoy finding practical ways to improve accuracy, reduce manual effort, and help teams get more value out of their systems. Whether it’s standardizing intercompany charges, tightening up GL reconciliations, or spending time in operations to better understand the business, I take a hands-on, data-focused approach to change.I do my best work in environments that value collaboration and continuous improvement, and I’m motivated by building finance organizations that are well-run today and better positioned for what’s next.
