Nexera Consulting is Erin Carlson. She partners with founders and leadership teams as a fractional CFO, helping growing companies move from early traction to stable, scalable operations.
Her work is hands-on, practical, and tailored to the stage of the business. Erin has guided startups through their first million and supported organizations across the spectrum, including companies over $50M in annual revenue.

- Held finance and accounting roles for local and state governments, building the public-sector rigor needed for complex reporting and compliance.
