About

Most leaders make million-dollar decisions relying on the past and blind to the future. That explains why roughly half of businesses fail within five years, and nearly two-thirds within ten. That’s not a leadership problem. It’s a financial intelligence gap. I fix that by helping leaders see forward: • how today’s decisions affect cash, liquidity, debt capacity, and valuation • before the risk shows up in reports • before the bank says no • before the board loses confidence In 2025 my work closing the financial intelligence gap in leadership has even been featured by Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissahouston/2025/11/04/why-financial-literacy-is-the-new-leadership-currency/ I’m a CPA, MBA, and Founder of Financiario — the only financial intelligence platform built to think, report, and advise like a CFO in real time, whether you have a CFO or not.
