your money girl
I’m Emily Diepenbrock, CPA. My career has been a mix of high-stakes environments: paying DJs at the height of the EDM boom, managing the books for cult-favorite beauty brands like Lime Crime, and helping Naturium build the foundation that led to a $455M acquisition.
I founded Up Top Financial to bring that same level of elite, discreet financial care to people who are redefining success on their own terms.
