Welcome to Carolyn Salib Consulting

Tackling financial challenges, whether for a small business or a large organization, requires more than just number-crunching—it demands trust, professionalism, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. I provide comprehensive finance services designed to bring clarity and order, regardless of your current record-keeping situation. From tackling mountains of unorganized receipts to fine-tuning established, complex systems, my strength lies in quickly identifying a solution and driving the project to completion with minimal direction. You can rely on my positive, professional approach even when situations are tense, and I'm prepared to have the open and constructive conversations necessary to improve your financial health and achieve your goals.

I provide strategic finance leadership for organizations of any size, specializing in bringing order and clarity to even the most chaotic financial records with unwavering professionalism. My services focus on proactive financial planning, including advanced budgeting, forecasting, and profitability analysis to meet key performance indicators (KPIs). I also ensure your financial reporting is accurate and compliant with GAAP by optimizing the month-end close process with proven best practices. Finally, I leverage this financial expertise to build out complex pricing models and guide the planning for significant strategic initiatives, such as global business expansion.

I'm a Los Angeles native with a passion for transforming complex financial data into clear, actionable business strategy. My foundation is built on a decade of experience, starting with an undergraduate degree in Accounting from Woodbury University and culminating in an MBA in Finance from Pepperdine University.

I began my career in public accounting, but quickly recognized that my true calling lay in the strategic challenge of finance. Over the last 10+ years, I've leveraged my financial acumen within the dynamic and fast-paced media and entertainment landscape. My career journey has been intentionally varied, spanning critical departments including studio facilities, ad sales, post-production, TV studios, and news gathering.

This broad exposure has provided a holistic view of how an entertainment company operates from end-to-end. By understanding the intricate challenges and functions of each business unit, I'm uniquely positioned to go beyond simple reporting. I provide macro-level strategic financial support that is grounded in operational reality, ensuring my guidance is always informed, effective, and drives comprehensive success.
