Alexander Brokhin

Founder & CEO

Alex started his career as a staff accountant for a software company shortly before receiving his BBA in Accounting. Four years later, he was promoted to Assistant Controller managing accounting functions for its U.S subsidiary. Alex received his first experience in the M&A world when some of the intellectual assets were sold to its competitor.

Not long after, Alex took a position as a Controller with a manufacturing company that quickly grew; within twelve months they had five international offices. It was during this experience that Alex saw how important it was for young companies and small businesses to have the right skills in the area of accounting and finance. With the rapid growth of the company, he saw that management of finances was key.

In 2008, after graduating with a Masters in Finance, Imperial Cost Control was founded on the idea of providing small businesses with skills of multi-million dollar firms.
