From the inside
looking out
I'm Chad Aaland. Before starting Function Consulting, I held CFO and controller roles inside companies — primarily in transportation — which means I've sat in the chair on the other side of the table. I know what it's like when the books don't close on time, when the ERP doesn't do what the vendor said it would, and when the reporting your leadership needs simply doesn't exist yet.
Today I'm also CFO at Move Management Group, a national relocation services company that coordinates household goods moves through a network of 4,000+ service providers and manages 150,000+ work orders annually across the US. Running finance and technology at that scale — vendor management, weekly accounting cycles, multi-system integrations, payment automation — keeps me close to the same problems my consulting clients are working through.
Function Consulting is relatively new, but the experience behind it isn't. I work with companies across industries on financial operations, ERP implementation and integration, and the technology decisions that tend to have more long-term consequences than people expect when they're making them. My value isn't pure software development or pure accounting — it's the combination, applied to real operational problems.
I'm based in Boise, Idaho and work with clients across the region. I take a small number of engagements at a time — by design. If you work with me, you're working with me.
