certified Pinnacle Business Guide
ABOUT Dave Reilly
A trusted partner and Guide for your journey to the Pinnacle.
For many business owners, the pressure never stops. When growth stalls, teams drift, and market challenges stack up, frustration and exhaustion follow fast. I’ve lived in those trenches — stabilizing operations, steering through uncertainty, and leading organizations through both crisis and rapid expansion. I know how heavy it feels… and I know how to turn it around.
As a CFO/COO with 25+ years of operating leadership, I’ve helped companies scale 30x, guided teams through major business cycles, and rebuilt organizations under financial and operational strain. I’m known as a calm, steady anchor in turbulent times — bringing clarity, structure, and confidence when they’re needed most.
As a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide, I will bring that same grounded, trustworthy approach to your business. You get a clear system, a steady partner, and an experienced advisor who helps you reduce friction, align your team, and accelerate meaningful growth — without the chaos.
Stop the grind. Enjoy the climb.

WE KNOW THE CHALLENGES OF RUNNING A BUSINESS.
It can feel overwhelming to battle stalled growth, hungry competition, and market disruptions — while carrying the full weight of the business on your shoulders. You deserve a trusted partner who brings clarity, calm, and a proven system to help your team realign and your company regain momentum.
