Summit One CPA + MBA
Passed all four CPA exams while working full time. Earned an MBA while running finance for a $15M company.
No break to go back to school. Both at once. Because that's how I'm wired.
Hi, I'm Emma —
CPA · MBA · Director of Finance & Accounting
Open to new roles
Accounting rigor. Operational creativity. Finance leadership built on automation, optimization, and first-principles thinking.
Stop One · Who I am
A builder by nature — and never quite finished.
I'm always looking for the next iteration, the next improvement, the thing that could run just a little smoother. It's not restlessness. It's how I'm wired. Calm in chaos, curious by default.
I care about what I build and who I build it for. I've spent my career in health, food, and mission-driven businesses because I want the work to matter — not just to the bottom line, but to the world. Professionally, I turn financial chaos into clarity: the processes, the systems, the team, the whole thing. I'm drawn to companies at an inflection point — the ones growing faster than their infrastructure, where there's real work to be done and no playbook to follow.
When I'm not in spreadsheets, I'm in the mountains. Boulder isn't just where I live — it's a reflection of how I work: always moving, always looking for the next ridge.
Stop Two · What I bring
A complex problem. A team to lead. The trust to build the right solution.
i.
Build & Systems
Hands-on across NetSuite, QuickBooks, Oracle, SAP, Ramp, and FloQast. I've never inherited a process I didn't eventually rebuild.
ii.
Leadership & Communication
I build teams that don't need me to function — and I translate the details into the story. CEOs have told me so directly.
iii.
FP&A & Modeling
Budgets, forecasts, cash flow, revenue recognition — built from scratch, every time.
iv.
Audit & Compliance
Twelve-plus audits led. I don't just survive them — I build the controls that make them easy.
Stop Three · Achievements
Four summits from thirteen years.
Summit Two Blue Moose · Costco
A $6M Costco deal. The real question wasn't whether to take it — it was whether we could survive it.
I built the financial model that answered it: demand planning, inventory, spoilage, cash flow. The company grew from $8M to $15M that year. I wasn't in sales. I was the reason sales was possible.
Summit Three AVL Growth Partners
Fifteen clients across two years. CPG, SaaS, manufacturing, cannabis startups — all different problems.
Cash-to-accrual conversions, system implementations, rebuilt control environments. One client's monthly close went from four weeks to one. The skill isn't industry knowledge. It's reading a company fast and building what it needs.
Summit Four OneTogether Solutions
One entity became five. I built the financial infrastructure that made the growth possible.
Chart of accounts, consolidated reporting, audit-ready close, board-level snapshots. There was no playbook. I wrote it.
