Founded in 2003, FINANZA began with a simple mission: make expert financial guidance accessible to every business that needs it. What started as a three-person tax practice has grown into a full-service financial consulting firm serving over 2,500 clients nationwide.
In 2003, Elena Vasquez left a senior role at a Big Four firm with a conviction: financial consulting should be personal, transparent, and results-driven. She founded FINANZA from a single office in downtown Chicago, focusing on mid-market businesses that were underserved by both large firms and solo practitioners.
Within five years, word-of-mouth referrals doubled our client base. By 2012, we expanded into audit, advisory, and wealth management. Today, our team of 45 professionals serves clients across 12 states, maintaining the same culture of accountability that defined day one.
To empower businesses and individuals with clarity, confidence, and control over their financial futures. We combine rigorous analysis with genuine partnership — every client deserves to understand not just what we recommend, but why.
To be the most trusted financial consulting firm in every market we serve — recognized not for size, but for the depth of our expertise, the integrity of our counsel, and the measurable impact we create.
These core values shape how we work with clients, collaborate as a team, and contribute to our community.
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Every recommendation is grounded in honesty and ethical standards.
Details matter in finance. Our team obsesses over accuracy so you can make decisions with absolute confidence in the numbers.
We succeed when you succeed. FINANZA builds long-term relationships, not transactional engagements. Your growth fuels our reputation.
Finance evolves constantly. We invest in technology, training, and forward-thinking strategies to keep you ahead of the curve.
Our leadership team brings decades of combined experience across tax, audit, advisory, and wealth management.
