About Chris Nelson
CFO | Executive Allies

Growing up in Alaska instilled in Chris a deep appreciation for adaptability and resilience, qualities that have carried him through a 25-year career in finance and accounting. He has worked with businesses at every stage, from pre-revenue startups to publicly traded companies, gaining a clear understanding of what drives organizations' success and where they most often stumble.
Chris specializes in developing repeatable processes and implementing the right level of financial structure to support growth. He has raised multiple rounds of equity and debt capital and helped business owners confidently communicate their financial story to investors and bankers. On the operations side, he focuses on streamlining transactions, applying best practices, and using technology to improve efficiency across teams.
His true passion is breaking down complex financial topics for leaders without an accounting background, helping them make confident decisions based on meaningful data.
When he's not working with clients, Chris enjoys traveling, cooking BBQ, and spending time with his family. Now based in Colorado, he takes full advantage of the outdoors and is always up for a new adventure.
