Built by a CFO, for fractional CFOs.
Alpyne exists because the person who built it kept losing evenings to a problem no vendor was solving.
Why Alpyne exists
Running a fractional CFO practice means exporting trial balances from a half-dozen systems and rebuilding comparability by hand. Every close. Forever.
Every tool that claimed to help was built for one in-house finance team and then sold to advisors who had no better option. None of them had any concept of a book of clients: no normalization across different charts of accounts, no way to move between clients without re-authenticating, and pricing that punished you for growing.
So the work went into building the thing that should have existed — first for one practice, then for anyone running one.
Bryan McGowan
Fifteen years as a CFO, more than $250 million raised in equity and debt, and a company founded out of an MIT lab and sold to a major aerospace and defense company. Cornell engineering, Cornell MBA.
He still runs a fractional CFO practice. That is not biography — it is the reason the integrations handle the cases that break generic connectors, because he has had to close books on a deadline with those cases in front of him.
He writes the integrations himself. When something breaks during a close, the person who can fix it is the person who found it.

Three things that decide the arguments.
- Practitioner-first
- Every decision gets judged against one question: does this help someone running a book of clients get through the month? Features that only demo well do not survive that test.
- Transparent
- Prices are published. The trial length is the real trial length. Where we are not certified, we say so. You should be able to evaluate this without a call.
- Careful with the data
- It is not our data — it is your clients’. Isolation between firms, encryption at rest and in transit, and access scoped to the people you assign.
Salt Lake City, and wherever your clients are.
Alpyne is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and works with practices across the United States. The software is remote by nature; so is the practice.
Alpyne is Bryan McGowan — one person, writing the software and running the practice it was built for. There is no sales team to get past, which is why the pricing is published and the trial does not need a call.
The ones people ask.
Who builds Alpyne?
Bryan McGowan does. He runs a fractional CFO practice and writes the integrations himself, which is why they handle the cases that break generic connectors — presale revenue, multi-entity overhead, Shopify deposits that are not revenue.
Is Alpyne a software company or a CFO firm?
Both, deliberately. The services practice is where the software gets tested against real client books on real deadlines. Problems found during a close get fixed in the product.
Where are you based?
Salt Lake City, Utah. Clients and practices are across the United States; the work is remote.
