With over 30 years of gathering experience on the job (she was Director of Finance at her last position) and in the classroom (she received an MBA in Sustainable Business from New College of California) Monique shifted her focus in 2011 so that she could provide a deeper level of results to other purpose-based entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in the world. “I believe that business has the responsibility to be in service to social, environmental and economic justice,” she says. “One way to do that is to design equity into the financial systems up front so that they create the space for thrival, not just survival.”
Monique provides advice and hands-on expertise around financial accounting (bookkeeping setup, accounting maintenance, financial statements) AND senior-level managerial accounting (cashflow analysis, projections, business plans, budgets, etc.). Working with Monique is like having an entire accounting department at your fingertips, guiding you and helping you to look ahead and strategize for success.
