About Carlos

Stop improvising with your numbers. Start deciding with clarity.

You sell more, your team grows, revenue increases... but your margins shrink, your cash never reflects what you invoice, and you continue to make decisions based on intuition. The problem isn't that you don't sell enough. It's that you manage a 21st-century business with obsolete financial tools.

At 231 Madison, we design the financial structure that turns your revenue into real profitability. As an economist and external CFO, I work with SMEs that have decided to stop reacting and start controlling.

Three principles, no exceptions:

-Clarity: your accounting becomes a dashboard with cash flow projections for 6, 12, and 18 months.

-Structure: we redesign your cost structure so that profitability is part of your DNA, not an accident.

-Resilience: systems that thrive in calm and in storm.

What do we deliver?

Strategic financial diagnostics, implemented dashboards, cost structure redesign, budget planning with real scenarios, and external CFO in the management committee.

I am not an accountant who distributes reports. I am an economist who builds systems tailored to your operations.

The first conversation is a no-cost exploratory diagnostic. I listen to you, identify the points of leakage, and honestly tell you if I can add value.
