Fractional Finance Leader

Your numbers, handled. Your business, unblocked.

Emelie Rodriguez, fractional finance leader

Month-end close is a mystery

Your books close late — if they close at all. The numbers exist, but they’re not telling you anything useful.

You need a CFO, but not full-time

You’re too big to wing it and too small to justify a $200K hire. There has to be a better way.

Tax season is always a surprise

Multi-state exposure you didn’t see coming. Notices you can’t explain. A bill you weren’t prepared for.

“Should we just hire someone full-time?”

Finance experience you can feel.

I’m a CPA with a Master of Accountancy (MAcc) and over a decade of experience across public accounting, corporate tax, and financial operations leadership. I’ve prepared and reviewed hundreds of business tax returns, managed multi-state compliance across 15+ jurisdictions, and led month-end close processes for organizations ranging from small businesses to $15M manufacturers.

After years in both public firms and private industry, I now work exclusively with growing companies who need senior-level finance leadership — part-time, embedded, and built around their actual needs.
