Into The Next Wins Best Fractional CFO & Exit Planning Services Award, Helping Businesses Maximize Value & Growth

Into The Next, founded by Alejandra Santos, transforms business consulting by providing value-driven financial and operational strategies for small and mid-sized businesses, as well as venture-funded startups.

United States, March 19, 2025 — Innovating Business Growth Through Holistic Consulting

Into The Next Consulting, the consulting arm of Into The Next, led by CEO & Founder Alejandra Santos, is redefining the standard for business management by delivering strategic financial and operational solutions that drive measurable results. Unlike traditional consulting firms, Into The Next Consulting partners directly with businesses to execute strategies that enhance enterprise value. Whether a company is scaling, restructuring, or preparing for an exit, the firm provides expert guidance in finance, operations, and exit planning to ensure long-term success.

Alejandra Santos, an MBA, Finance, CEPA (Certified Exit Planning Advisor), and CTEC, is a recognized authority in leadership and business strategy. Her dedication to helping business owners achieve successful exits stems from personal experience—watching her father build a thriving business without proper exit planning, which ultimately prevented him from realizing the transition he had envisioned before his passing. This experience fuels her mission, as only 25% of business owners successfully exit their businesses, and only 20% of those are satisfied with the outcome. Through Into The Next, her podcast, and industry events, Santos is actively working to change this reality by equipping business owners with the tools needed for thoughtful, successful transitions.
