Rio Finance is led by a seasoned startup finance leader with 20+ years of experience across venture-backed companies, acquisitions, and rapid growth stages. Our team includes accountants and CFOs who all have extensive experience working with early-stage startups on a fractional basis.
We partner with founders at every stage — from getting your books in order to preparing for your Series B. When you work with Rio Finance, you get a strategic partner who's been in the room when it matters most.
I've had the privilege of working with Kim across two companies. She ran all things finance, accounting, and HR with precision and care, which allowed me to fully focus on being a CEO. She consistently provided accurate, actionable data that helped guide some of the most important decisions we made as a business. Kim is the kind of partner every founder hopes to have — strategic, reliable, and always several steps ahead.
Kim and I have worked together for more than a decade, and her contributions have always been exceptional. She played a big role not just in the growth of our startup, but also in shaping our company culture. She was a crucial member of the core team during the Skout acquisition and a key player in helping us raise three rounds of funding at unitQ. Her ability to manage a growing startup stands out, and she also knows how to trim the burn when needed during tough times.
Partnering with Kim and the Rio Finance team has been a terrific call for Kumo.
Kim brought immediate structure and clarity to our accounting and operations. Over time she became something much more valuable: a genuine strategic thought partner. She helped us think through financial matters with real depth and care, not just execute on them.
Through our funding rounds, team growth, and revenue growth, Kim and her team were right there with us — keeping our books in great shape, building processes we could rely on, and always being accessible. That combination of trustworthy accounting and real responsiveness is rare.
Any Series A through C company would be lucky to have Kim and her team in their corner.
