EmpowHer Profits is not just a company; it’s a legacy and a vision brought to life by Gloria Dioum, a trailblazer who charted a path of firsts in her family. Encouraged by her entrepreneurial lineage, Gloria became the first in her family to attend college, driven by a dream to blend the stability of a corporate career with the dynamic spirit of entrepreneurship.
In her ascent through the corporate finance world, Gloria made a significant impact. Her tenure at a Fortune 20 company saw her skillfully managing costs, integrating startups, and injecting financial clarity into complex corporate divisions. Despite these accomplishments, Gloria felt a deeper calling.
Gloria Dioum’s journey into the world of finance and business strategy began on the sun-kissed shores of the Saint Lucia, amidst the vibrant hustle of entrepreneurial spirit. As a young girl, she watched her mother, a tenacious entrepreneur, navigate the challenging waters of selling clothes and managing a business. Summers were spent absorbing these invaluable lessons of resilience and innovation. Despite witnessing the hardships and uncertainties her mother faced, these experiences planted the seeds of entrepreneurial passion in Gloria.
However, her mother, familiar with the trials and tribulations of running a business, encouraged Gloria to seek stability through education. Heeding this advice, Gloria pursued academic excellence, leading her to achieve an MBA with a focus in Finance. Her journey took her through the structured world of corporate finance, climbing the ranks in a Fortune 500 company. Here, she honed her skills, understanding the intricacies of managing large-scale financial operations.
Yet, the call of entrepreneurship she witnessed in her formative years remained strong. Gloria recognized that the struggles her mother faced weren’t an inevitable part of entrepreneurship. Driven by a desire to bridge the gap between corporate financial strategies and small business needs, Gloria embarked on a mission to empower entrepreneurs. This mission led to the birth of EmpowHer Profits, offering the tools, strategies, and personalized guidance needed for consistent business growth and profitability.
In addition to her impressive professional portfolio, Gloria is a certified mentor with the Venture Mentoring Team, where she trains small businesses and startups to refine their business models. She holds an MBA with a focus in Finance from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, testament to her commitment to continuous learning and development and lives in Southern California with her (Pets?) and loving husband (or partner?).
Drawn irresistibly to the world of small businesses, a realm familiar from her family roots, Gloria embarked on an entrepreneurial journey. Naming her venture EmpowHer Profits, she paid homage to her father and the entrepreneurial spirit he embodied. This name is more than a tribute; it’s a reflection of the strength and resilience that underpin our company’s ethos.

Before working with Gloria, I had no formal business training, and my finances were a mystery. Gloria guided me to move from pen and paper to digital, transforming how I manage my business. Now, I understand the numbers and can make informed decisions, like calculating profit margins and cutting unnecessary costs. She has truly revolutionized my business, allowing me to run it successfully and turn a profit. I recommend her 100% to anyone!
Working with Gloria as my fractional CFO has been invaluable. My CPA handles taxes, but Gloria provides the day-to-day financial guidance that has helped me grow my business. Her education and support in cash flow projection, loan management, and financial decision-making have been second to none. I’m truly grateful for her expertise, which has transformed my business.
Gloria has been instrumental in helping me plan for the future of my business. My accountant and bookkeeper do a great job with past finances, but Gloria helps me create projections and understand the big picture. She’s confirmed my strategies and shown me where adjustments are needed to reach my goals. Her forward-looking approach is exactly what I needed.
In just three months, Gloria has transformed the way I look at both my business and personal finances. Her holistic approach taught me the importance of integrity and making sound financial choices. My sister was right—Gloria’s services have been a blessing to my business. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to take control of their finances.
As my business grew and became more complex, I realized I needed more than just a bookkeeper or CPA. Gloria helped me see that as the business owner, I should prioritize paying myself and creating reserves. She guided me in restructuring my pay and understanding that profitability is not a dirty word—it’s essential for a healthy business. Working with Gloria has been transformative.
Gloria was the perfect fit for me. She’s incredibly smart, personable, and never made me feel inadequate with numbers. Thanks to her, I now have a tangible financial tracking system that’s color-coded, beautiful, and user-friendly. It’s given me a clear view of my business’s financial health, enabling me to make informed decisions. I can’t thank Gloria enough for the knowledge and confidence she’s given me.
Gloria is a financial success strategist, and that’s exactly what she does—create financial success for my clients. Whether saving a practice on the brink of closure or empowering business owners to make transformative changes, Gloria’s impact is invaluable. All my clients who work with her come back transformed. I’m beyond grateful for her expertise and dedication.
