Testimonials

  • “Working with Vanessa and her team at Echo Bravo was a total game-changer for our small non-profit. They helped reframe our financial projections so we could actually forecast monthly cash flow with confidence—no more guessing. The punctual deliverables kept our leadership team laser-focused, and the workshops sparked real conversations about our values and culture. I genuinely feel like we’ve gone from scrambling to breathing—with a clear strategy guiding every step.”

    Mia from Cambridge

  • “Echo Bravo brought structure to our team in ways we didn’t know we needed. Vanessa taught us project-management skills that completely flipped our internal workflow—we started hitting deadlines, and morale soared. On top of that, their financial acumen sessions gave us language and tools to make smarter budgeting decisions. They didn’t just consult—they built an inclusive, values-aligned foundation that still influences our culture today.”

    Luis from Somerville

  • “Vanessa is, quite literally, the secret weapon small businesses don’t even know they need. She held up a mirror to our team—guiding us through workshops that sparked honest introspection, helped us realign with our mission, and even redefined our vision. We walked away with more than frameworks—we got a renewed sense of purpose. Our financial strategy? It’s no longer an afterthought; it’s central to our growth plans.”
