Sharon Melendez
CFO | COO | Founder
Every business starts with a dream. Whether you’re launching something new, scaling to the next level, navigating a transition, or striving to make a bigger impact—you want to build something that lasts. But big dreams need more than vision; they need the right strategy, systems, and financial foundation to turn ambition into reality. That’s where I come in.
With over twenty-five years of financial and operational leadership, I’ve helped businesses and nonprofits streamline operations, eliminate inefficiencies, and build financial strategies that support long-term success. From overhauling outdated systems to guiding organizations through major transitions, I bring clarity and structure to what often feels overwhelming.
I don’t just analyze the numbers—I take a holistic approach, looking at your people, processes, and systems to help you make strategic, data-driven decisions with confidence. Whether it’s optimizing cash flow, restructuring budgets to improve profitability, or integrating financial and operational systems to increase efficiency, I ensure every decision moves your business forward.
Think of me as more than just a strategist—I’m a partner, a trusted advisor, and the one who will give you straight answers, cut through the noise, and help you build a business that works smarter, not harder.
No matter where you are—whether you’re a startup needing financial clarity, an established business struggling with inefficiencies, a company navigating a complex merger, or a nonprofit balancing impact with sustainability—I’ll meet you where you are and work alongside you to get you where you want to be.
But here’s the thing: the first step must come from you. Growth, innovation, and success don’t happen by accident—they happen when you’re ready to act. If you’re ready to move forward, I’ll be with you every step after.
- Beyond Strategy—Execution That Delivers
A great idea means nothing without execution. I don’t just tell you what to do—I build the systems, strategies, and financial structures that make success inevitable. - Solving Problems You Can’t See (or Don’t Know How to Fix)
Many businesses don’t know their real pain point. Others know it but feel stuck. I identify the root cause and implement lasting solutions—so you can stop spinning your wheels. - Master of Systems, Processes & Scalability
From financial ERP overhauls to seamless data migrations, I create scalable, streamlined operations that drive efficiency, profitability, and long-term growth. - Financial & Data-Driven Decision Making
If your numbers don’t tell a clear story, you’re making blind decisions. I translate complex financial data into strategies that reduce risk, optimize cash flow, and increase profitability. - People-First Leadership & Change Management
Every transformation—whether it’s a startup scaling, an M&A transition, or a nonprofit restructuring—requires people to buy in. I guide teams through change, ensuring alignment, accountability, and cultural stability.
