Meet your CFO

Hi, I'm Jaime.

I've spent 40 years in accounting and finance, from bookkeeping and tax to business structures and investment analysis. Cube 10 is intentionally small: when you work with Cube 10, you work directly with me, not a rotating team.

I'm resourceful and entrepreneurial by nature, and I look at every client's finances with one goal in mind: making the most of the resources you already have.

  • 40 years in accounting & finance
  • One point of contact: me
  • Clients in six states
