Ato Wilberforce

As the founder of AFANTE, my passion lies in helping small businesses and entrepreneurs gain the financial clarity they need to grow with confidence. I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Accounting and a Master’s Degree in Finance, and I bring more than 15 years of experience in Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A).

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with organizations across various industries, supporting them in improving financial performance, strengthening operations, and making strategic, data-driven decisions. My expertise in financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis has enabled me to guide business leaders in building stronger, more resilient companies.

I founded AFANTE with a simple but powerful mission: to make high-level financial expertise accessible, practical, and impactful for small businesses. I truly believe that smart accounting is the foundation for smarter growth—and I am committed to helping each of my clients understand their numbers, plan with confidence, and achieve sustainable success
