Leadership
Patricia Lopez-Jaramillo, CPA
I am an experienced Corporate Controller with a public accounting background—and I would love to be your go-to resource for interim finance and accounting roles and project-based support. I bring a mix of domestic and international experience, technical knowledge and enthusiasm to every client.
With 15-plus years in the field, I solve the kinds of issues that others tend to give up on. I am also that rare finance pro who genuinely enjoys people, is flexible by nature and can quickly wrap my arms around piles of data to communicate the story behind the numbers.
Colleagues and clients alike are known to say “Give it to Patty, she’ll get it done!” With a long track record of optimizing operations by bringing people together around shared goals, I am known for my clear communication, interpersonal skills and for being a calm and assuring professional.
That is why I started Menlo Accounting & Consulting where we assist a diverse range of private and public companies with their finance and accounting in a flexible, reliable, hands-on way. We easily navigate complex environments and have a knack for communication and teams.
Serving an array of industries, we’re based in the heart of Silicon Valley in Menlo Park with a specialty in tech. We add muscle to finance and accounting teams and thrive on making your operations smooth and successful—tap into Menlo Accounting & Consulting the next time you need a partner you can count on.
