Fractional Finance Operations Manager
I fix the operations your numbers depend on, then build systems that last.
I’m Lemuel Manzano, a CPA who fixes the operations behind the numbers. When a business’s books don’t make sense, the cause is usually a process that keeps breaking upstream. I diagnose how work actually moves, repair what is failing, and build the systems that keep it working, including AI-powered workflows and custom webapps built around how your business runs.
