Alina Rivera

As a Fractional CFO and valuation expert, I help business owners stop guessing and start making confident, data-driven decisions. With over 20 years of experience in business valuation, forensic accounting, exit planning, and strategic financial consulting, I’ve led companies through growth, transitions, and complex challenges. I specialize in turning financial chaos into clarity, building scalable structures, boosting profitability, and increasing long-term business value. I’m the CEO of Advising Puerto Rico, LLC, a boutique firm offering Fractional CFO services, business valuations, exit planning, transfer pricing compliance reports, and litigation support across industries. I also serve on the Leadership Initiative Board and the AI & Machine Learning Commission for NACVA and am the technical editor for Around the Valuation World. Previously, I led the Business Advisory division at BDO Puerto Rico, managing multi-disciplinary teams across valuation, internal audit, budgeting, and strategic planning. My work has spanned the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean, delivering results for CEOs, business owners, legal teams, and cross-border enterprises. What drives me? Helping founders, CEOs, and leadership teams find the financial visibility and systems they need to scale with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
