Maria Herrera, MBA in International Business with a concentration in hospitality finances, here! After spending 16 years in the corporate world, I found myself at a crossroads. I decided to take control of my path, leveraging my financial expertise to offer CFO, bookkeeping, and strategic business analysis services to small businesses. My goal? To help them scale, improve cash flow, and inject experiential elements into their operations, both online and through in-person events like day events and retreats. As my freelance venture gained traction, I realized there was a significant demand for curated travel experiences. That's when I took the leap into the travel boutique business, crafting fully curated experiences, tailor-made retreats, and bespoke vacations. Managing both ventures simultaneously, my focus remains on monthly bookkeeping services, which form the backbone of my business and income. Additionally, I take on retainer projects aimed at empowering women founders to optimize their business operations, finances, and systems. My passion lies in curating meaningful events, workshops, retreats, and experiences that resonate on a personal and professional level. For me, travel isn't just about sightseeing; it's about making a positive impact and fostering connections. I'm here to connect with fellow like-minded women on similar journeys, seeking to build a supportive community and network where we can uplift and empower one another. Let's forge ahead together!
