I’m Rosie Karina, nacida (born) in New York, spent my high school years en la República Dominicana, and have called North Carolina home for the past 14 years. Three places, three cultures, one person — and honestly, that's probably why I connect with just about anybody who walks through my door.
Très lugares, très culturas, una sola persona.
Sé lo que es no tener a alguien de confianza en quien apoyarse.
Aquí no hay juicios, solo alguien de su comunidad, lista para ayudarle.
Vamos a romper barreras.
I have always lived in the world of numbers. My very first job was at a check cashing place, yes, really and something about it just clicked. After earning my Business Administration degree I went into data entry at an auto parts warehouse and worked my way up to buyer. Numbers, systems, people, it was always the same thread running through everything I did.
Bookkeeping found me when a friend introduced me to it and I realized I didn't just like it , I loved it. Taxes and notarial work were already part of my world from my New York days, and my notary commission has never lapsed. Oh, and somewhere in between all of that I also became a licensed cosmetologist. Because why not.
At home I'm a proud mom to a daughter in college, a "cat grandma" to 2 grand-kitties, and still very much outnumbered by 3 furry boys at home. Fun? Y con qué se come? I'm still figuring that one out.
BR Financial Group started as a way to bring in extra income. But the more I worked, the more I saw something that I couldn't unsee, the Hispanic community was missing out. Not because they didn't deserve access, but because of language barriers, immigration concerns, or simply not having someone in their corner who understood. I wanted to be that bridge. Whether that means making a phone call, helping fill out a document, or just sitting down and explaining things without judgment, I want to be their neighbor.
And that goes for everyone I work with. I want you to feel accepted. I want you to know you don't have to hide, pretend, or have it all figured out before you call me. You don't have to have walked my exact path for me to understand yours. I've done a lot of work on myself to get here, and all of that work just means I can extend my hand a little further.
You are not alone. I've got you.
You should never have to wonder whose side we're on.
BR Financial Group exists to make honest, expert financial help accessible to the professionals who trust us with their books, and to the neighbors who are too often priced out of trustworthy financial help altogether. We do it the same way every time: without judgment, without jargon, and without you ever wondering whose side we're on.
Trustworthy help shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
We believe access to trustworthy financial help shouldn't depend on what you can afford. Our vision is a community where every family regardless of income, immigration status, or first language has someone in their corner. Part of everything we earn is reinvested right back into that mission, through free and reduced-cost services for the neighbors who need them most. As we grow, so does what we're able to give back.
