No more guessing and hoping for the best.
Grow your beauty brand and navigate change with financial clarity and confidence.
Beauty has always been a tough business to win
Trends move quickly. Customers change how they discover and buy. Channels evolve. Margins are pressured. And even when the product is strong, the business behind it has to be financially clear enough to support the next stage of growth.
As a CPA, beauty industry veteran, and Fractional CFO, I help founders understand what is driving the business, what is changing in the numbers, and what decisions will create stronger, more profitable growth.
At Thielstyle, we help beauty and wellness founders build the financial foundation needed to navigate growth, profitability, and a changing market.

Financial leadership shaped by decades in beauty
During my 15 years with Estée Lauder Companies, I saw how successful beauty brands use financial insight to support growth, manage complexity, and make better decisions across products, channels, teams, and markets.
In working with emerging brands, I also saw the gap founders face. They are making many of the same strategic decisions as larger companies — around marketing, inventory, retail, pricing, profitability, and cash — but often without the finance team or systems to support them.
Thielstyle was built to close the gap!
A CFO model built for how beauty brands grow today.
