MIMI LIU

Founder & Lead Developer

Hello! I’m Mimi, founder of Finpact Solutions. I started this company with the goal of democratizing financial management so every small business has the opportunity to succeed and make a positive impact.

So where did this all begin?

With a B.S. double major in Applied Economics and Management and International Agriculture and Rural Development and a M.S. in Applied Finance, I worked in Financial Planning & Analysis at some of the largest USAID (United States Agency for International Development) implementing partners, where my expertise in designing robust Excel-based financial tools and BI dashboards helped my companies customize forecasting templates and financial reports, connect data between non-communicative systems, bridge data gaps, increase data insights, and improve data efficiency and accuracy through data transformation.

I also had the honor to mentor hundreds of impact startups as an UNLEASH Plus Finance Expert over the course of several UNLEASH program years beginning in 2020. My mentorship approach focused on sharing knowledge on startup finance principles, challenging revenue and expense forecast assumptions, reviewing expenses and brainstorming cost-saving alternatives, and assessing startup pitches on financial feasibility.

Throughout these mentorship opportunities, I found that almost all these startups were hesitant to pay for professional accounting subscriptions or hire finance personnel in the early stages of growth. They usually lacked access to integrated templates and struggled to prepare financial reports for mentors or investors. Even with forecasts, most teams were boxed into a single revenue model per template, which offered little flexibility.

But I realized a problem of my own–I did not have a financial management tool of my own design to offer as an alternative, and I could not share any of the products I built for the companies that hired me.

It was because of these innovative and passionate social entrepreneurs that I thought about one day transitioning away from working for large established companies and focusing instead on serving entrepreneurs and small businesses wanting to make a positive impact.

And then, everything changed.

In 2025, USAID was suddenly dismantled, threatening the viability of most US-based implementing partners, leading to the unemployment of tens of thousands of development professionals, and disrupting aid and economic programs for thousands of humanitarian and development projects worldwide.

That ‘one day’ came sooner than expected. With the abrupt dismantling of USAID, I found myself at a crossroads, needing to decide whether I would look for non-USAID development work, switch industries entirely and give up my passion for mission-based work, or take the chance to embark on an entrepreneurial journey to combine my passion for the Sustainable Development Goals, finance, knowledge-sharing and design.

I took the chance and spent many months building out the most powerful, dynamic and integrated financial template I have ever built. I wanted to create the financial tools I wish I had when I was working with startups, something that would capture the financial position of fledgling businesses, be easy enough to use for non-accountants, and work offline for greater accessibility. I wanted to design something that I would personally want to use, and one I would be proud to share with others.

As the saying goes, “when one door closes, another one opens”. With Finpact Solutions, I am excited to embark on this opportunity to build and share powerful Excel-based financial tools built specifically with entrepreneurs and small businesses in mind. Because every business deserves access to professional-grade financial management, regardless of budget or size.
