My name is Aly and I’ve been specializing in Office Administration and Human Resources for almost seven years. Here at Progress, I help wherever support is needed but I’m primarily focused on backend operations and serving as one of the main points of communication with our clients. I’m passionate about ensuring our clients receive the care and attention they deserve and I love being able to assist them with anything they need.

I’m Courtney Clem, a financial strategist and advisor who loves helping business owners turn their numbers into clarity and action. As a mom of three, I understand the desire to build a business that provides both financial security and the freedom to show up fully for your family—so I help my clients create businesses that support their lives, not run them.
With 6 years of experience in financial analysis, tax preparation, and advisory work, I give clients not just accurate numbers but guidance on what to do with them. I also help my husband manage and grow his businesses, so I know firsthand the pressure owners face and the kind of support that really makes a difference.
At my core, I believe every business owner deserves to feel supported and understood. I meet clients where they are, helping them get organized, stay proactive, and build a business that feels sustainable—not stressful.

Hi, I’m Valerie. With a background in restaurant management, corporate accounting, and a degree in Computer Science, I’ve had the unique opportunity to see how strong systems shape successful businesses. I help clients create clarity in their processes—documentation, task delegation, priority setting, and everything in between—so goals become manageable and progress becomes measurable. Most importantly, I’ve spent my career working directly with teams, mentoring them, and improving how they work day-to-day. I believe every ambitious goal is simply a series of well-organized steps, and when you fully leverage your team, your tools, and your internal systems, there’s very little you can’t achieve. My role is to help make that happen.

With over 13 years of experience in accounting, I bring a reliable and detail-oriented approach to financial management. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the Philippines in 2011.
I have extensive experience in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and bank reconciliations, managing multi-client portfolios and ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance. Before moving into my current role at Progress, I spent years building a strong foundation in transaction management and maintaining well-organized financial records.
As Accounting Manager, I oversee the full accounting cycle, ensure that every financial statement is correct and easy to understand, and provide insights that help clients make confident decisions. I take pride in being a trusted partner, delivering numbers and information that clients can rely on to keep their business on track.

MICHELLE CANTOR
Here's what I know: You didn't start your business to stay small. You started it because you saw something bigger—and you're ready to build it.
But here's the thing… most CEOs hit a point where growth feels harder than it should. The revenue's there, but so is the chaos. You're working in the business instead of leading it. And the data you need to make confident decisions? It's either missing, messy, or buried somewhere you can't access when it matters.
That's where I come in.
I don't just "do accounting." I help CEOs build a data-driven operating system that gives them total clarity on what's working, what's not, and exactly where to focus next. It's called Progress 360, and it's designed to turn your financials, operations, and strategy into one cohesive system—so you can finally lead your business instead of reacting to it.
Yes, I'm a CPA—and that matters. It means I've saved clients tens of thousands in taxes (one client saved over $70K), helped businesses increase profits and revenues month-over-month by multiple 5-figures at a time, and can spot financial opportunities most people miss. But I didn't build Progress to Profits to just crunch numbers. I built it because I saw what happens when CEOs have real clarity: they stop second-guessing, start scaling with confidence, and finally get to lead the business they actually want.
My path here wasn't typical. I started in automotive tech with plans to lead a Fortune 500 company, then pivoted into accounting and ended up managing financial reporting for a $300M+ publicly traded company. That's where I learned: the companies that scale aren't just tracking numbers—they're using data to drive every strategic move.
So I built Progress to Profits to give you that same advantage. Through our Clarity to Cash Flow process, we install Progress 360 into your business—giving you the systems, insights, and confidence to scale without the guesswork.
If you're ready to stop operating in the dark and start running your business like the CEO you actually are, let's talk. Because your business deserves more than survival—it deserves a system.
