Strategic partnership and new leadership appointment reinforce Alliance’s continued investment in ERP transformation, technology solutions, and financial operations.

TYSONS CORNER, Va., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alliance, a national consulting firm specializing in solutions for the Office of the CFO, is proud to announce its official partnership with Oracle NetSuite, a leading cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. The announcement marks a significant milestone in Alliance’s continued expansion of its Business Systems & Transformation capabilities and its commitment to helping organizations modernize financial operations, improve efficiency, and support sustainable growth.

Alliance launched its dedicated NetSuite practice earlier this year in response to growing demand for integrated, scalable technology solutions that connect finance, accounting, and business operations. Building on the firm’s established expertise in financial advisory, accounting advisory, and business transformation, the practice helps organizations navigate complex ERP initiatives with a combination of technical expertise and deep financial and operational insight.

As an official NetSuite partner, Alliance is further strengthening its ability to help clients evaluate, implement, optimize, and maximize the value of their ERP investments. The partnership supports Alliance’s broader commitment to delivering technology-enabled solutions that improve financial visibility, streamline business processes, and equip leadership teams with the insights needed to make informed decisions.

“Becoming an official NetSuite partner is an exciting milestone for Alliance and a natural extension of the work we already do to help finance organizations operate more effectively,” said Ed Barrow, CEO of Alliance. “We launched our NetSuite practice with a clear vision: to combine deep financial and accounting expertise with leading technology solutions. This partnership, along with our continued investment in exceptional talent, positions us to deliver even greater value to our clients.”

Investing in NetSuite Leadership

As part of its continued investment in the practice, Alliance is also pleased to announce that Stephen Rafferty has joined the firm as Director of Business Development for the NetSuite Practice.

In this role, Rafferty will focus on driving new business for Alliance’s NetSuite practice, building pipeline, deepening partner relationships across the NetSuite ecosystem, and expanding the firm’s client base for ERP implementation, optimization, and transformation engagements.

His appointment reflects Alliance’s strategic focus on building a team of experienced professionals who understand both the NetSuite market and the business challenges organizations face as they grow and evolve.

“Stephen’s arrival is another step in building a NetSuite practice that delivers real results for our clients,” said Nikki Tercero, Partner of Business Systems and Transformation at Alliance. “We’re committed to investing in leaders who bring the experience, perspective, and client-first approach that define Alliance. With Stephen helping grow this practice, we’re excited about what’s ahead.”

Helping Organizations Connect Technology with Business Performance

Alliance’s NetSuite practice is designed to support organizations at various stages of their ERP journey, from evaluating technology needs and preparing for implementation to optimizing existing environments and improving financial processes.

By combining NetSuite capabilities with Alliance’s broader consulting expertise, the firm helps organizations address critical business priorities, including:
