About

Kareen K. Garner, MBA | Founder & Business Strategist

Empowering Entrepreneurs. Transforming Businesses. Creating Financial Freedom.

As the visionary behind The Hope Consulting Group, I am dedicated to helping small businesses and entrepreneurs—particularly women and minority-owned businesses—gain financial clarity, business structure, and access to strategic growth opportunities.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance from California State University, Northridge, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Financial Planning from California Lutheran University. My academic background in finance, strategic planning, and financial leadership has provided me with the expertise to help entrepreneurs build financially sustainable businesses.

In addition to my formal education, I am a lifelong learner and avid reader, continuously expanding my expertise in government contracts, procurement, financial leadership, and business development. Staying ahead of industry trends allows me to deliver innovative, results-driven strategies to the businesses I serve.


🔹 Expertise & Background

My expertise is rooted in real-world experience as a business strategist, interim CFO, and financial advisor, complemented by a strong academic background in finance and strategic planning.

💡 Key Areas of Expertise:
✅ Business Consulting & Strategy Development
✅ Financial Leadership & Cash Flow Optimization
✅ Procurement Readiness & Government Contracting
✅ Small Business Certification & Compliance
✅ Growth Planning & Funding Access

Over the years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs move beyond the illusion of success by implementing real, actionable financial strategies that foster long-term sustainability and growth.


🔹 A Commitment to Empowerment

My approach is rooted in transparency, integrity, and results-driven solutions. I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face—from financial roadblocks to lack of access to resources—and my mission is to equip them with the knowledge, tools, and strategic positioning to thrive.

Through The Hope Shine Prosper Pathway, I aim to:
🌱 Heal financial misconceptions that hinder business growth.
☀️ Hope to transform businesses into sustainable enterprises.
💡 Give access to strategic partnerships, funding, and economic opportunities.

I believe that real success is not just about revenue—it’s about building a solid foundation, leveraging opportunities, and creating generational wealth.

Personal Interests & Creative Pursuits

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy hiking, exploring new places, and experiencing diverse cuisines as a foodie.These passions fuel my creativity and keep me inspired.

I also channel my love for history and storytelling into creative projects. I created The Amica Archive, a speculative audio series set in 2051, where Amica becomes the last person to receive a PhD in history. The series explores truth, power, and the control of historical narratives, blending my passion for history with my commitment to uncovering deeper societal truths.
