Carrie Hefner

Advisor

Carrie brings over 20 years of cross-functional experience in finance, operations, and systems leadership - with a calm, strategic approach that growing businesses can count on

At Breakaway, she partners with scaling companies to bring clarity to the numbers, structure to the chaos, and momentum to the big-picture goals.

Her background spans controller and CFO-level roles in both U.S. and international businesses, where she led financial operations, entity structuring, and cross-border reporting - often stepping in where there was no roadmap. She’s especially skilled at building financial systems that grow with the business, designing reporting that supports real decisions, and creating space for founders and partners to lead without being buried in spreadsheets.

Carrie’s work is grounded in trust, accountability, and collaboration. She doesn’t just “do the books” - she becomes a strategic thought partner, a systems thinker, and a stabilizing force in times of growth and change.

When she’s not building dashboards or solving cash flow puzzles, you can find her reading, traveling, or camping with her family in the Pacific Northwest.  You may even find her visiting her home state of Texas.
