Who We Are

Alan Chaffee is the CEO and Founder of Turning Point. He has over two decades of extensive experience in financial accounting, business consulting, company valuations, and corporate restructuring. For the last 25 years, he has focused on helping companies from a diversity of industries—media to manufacturing, and in-between—use financial information to drive operational improvements, manage cash flow, and increase profitability. As Turning Point’s CEO, Alan has performed CFO duties for over 500 middle market companies, with revenues ranging from $2M to $500M annually. He continues to provide CEO coaching, with notable success.

Under Alan’s guidance, Turning Point has quickly grown to become the Northwest’s leading CFO consulting practice, providing solutions-based advice, and designing and implementing the financial processes that help companies make the most of their financial information. Turning Point also leads in mergers and acquisition involvement, on both the buy and sell sides, and has closed multiple transactions in the 7-figure and 8-figure arena.

Prior to founding Turning Point, Alan was Managing Partner for a Seattle-based CPA firm. He also has more than 30 years of experience in senior executive roles, including Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and President. He currently sits on three Boards of Directors, is a Vistage speaker, and a member of the Forbes Finance Council.

Away from the office, Alan runs marathons, reads voraciously, and boasts to anyone who will listen about his four great kids. He and his family live in Bellevue.
