Rebecca Warren — senior financial judgment for businesses that have outgrown their systems.

Most owners do not have a numbers problem. They have a systems problem that shows up in the numbers.

I’m Rebecca Warren. RW Strategy Services exists to give growing businesses the kind of financial and operational leadership that usually only arrives with a full-time executive hire. My background is in financial and operational leadership across hospitality, restaurant and hotel operations, vacation rentals, and real estate and property operations — businesses where cash is seasonal, payroll is complicated, and money is often held on someone else’s behalf.

I came to finance through the kitchen. I hold a culinary degree, and I have served as controller for a restaurant and hotel group — so I have read a P&L for a property and also stood in the room where the food cost, the schedule, and the guest experience are decided. That combination means conversations with hospitality and restaurant owners begin with a practical understanding of how the operation runs—not just how the numbers appear on paper.

That work has covered trust accounting, cash-flow strategy, people operations, risk management, and process improvement: separating and reconciling held funds, building forecasts owners can plan against, documenting the routines a team runs every month, tightening the controls around who can move money, and removing the manual steps that quietly consume a week.

The specialization is real, but it isn’t a boundary. The same problems — books built for tax filing, late reporting, cash decisions made on instinct — show up in owner-led businesses of every kind, and the work translates.
