What our clients are saying

  • "Betsy brought us a huge level of leadership expertise and competence which helped me to smoothly manage multiple organization changes."

    – Mohamed Osman, CEO, Spring Impact

  • “Techbridge Girls brought in Castro Concepts Consulting at a pivotal time of transition. Betsy's leadership, financial acumen, approach, compassion, and team orientation allowed us to fill in critical gaps while keeping the organization moving forward. I am truly grateful for her partnership and look forward to keeping Betsy's firm in our rolodex for future needs.”

    – Nikole Collins-Puri, CEO, Techbridge Girls

  • “We invited Betsy and Kat into our organization to help us with some intense work in our Finance dept, and we got so much more! Yes, they helped with the project management, technical assessments, process mapping and ultimately the transition to a new ERP but they also helped us address practices, decisions, org development, and the processes between all of our departments. And they brought such a high level of social emotional awareness and racial equity mindset that built deep community and ingratiated them with our teams. We felt supported, guided, counseled and they even played interference for us with vendors. The project ended successfully AND we continue to contract with them for smaller scopes of work. We cannot fully let them go!”

    – Phoebe Sade, Executive Officer, BrightSpark Early Learning Services

    – Kathryn Flores, Administrative Officer, BrightSpark Early Learning Services

  • “We've been working with Betsy and the Castro Concepts team for the past year and couldn't be more grateful for the partnership. Betsy brings the top-tier financial expertise and strategic insight you'd expect from a seasoned fractional CFO, but it's her integrity, emotional intelligence, and thoughtful leadership that truly set her apart. She's a trusted advisor—mission-aligned, values-driven, and deeply invested in our success. Her guidance has been invaluable as we've grown and evolved, and we're lucky to have her in our corner.”

    – Peter McGovern, CEO, EdOdyssey, Inc.

  • "Betsy and her work with Castro Concepts set my small business up for success. Betsy is clear, organized, patient and extraordinarily thorough - I seldom have lingering questions after meeting with her. Betsy can take abstract ideas and help turn them into clear actionable steps. She is a pleasure to work with and my go to person when I have questions or need support with finance or operations. Betsy is social justice minded and human-centered in her approach, which was exactly what we were looking for as a small BlPOC-owned and centered business."

    – Syon Davis, CEO, Experiments in Freedom LLC

  • "We’ve had the pleasure of working with Betsy for the past year, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From her meticulous accounting work with staff to her impactful presentations at Board meetings, she has truly been an invaluable addition to our team. Betsy joined our organization to replace a long-standing contract CFO, and she quickly brought fresh perspectives and innovative systems. Her expertise shines in her ability to know when to drive meaningful change and when to set longer-term goals, particularly when time and resources are limited. We are excited to continue growing and improving under Betsy’s expert guidance."

    – Kathleen Bolles, Director of Finance, National Council on Teacher Quality
