Melanie Dickinson

Founder & Fractional Controller

Freedom Business Solutions was founded to help trade contractors gain clarity and control over their financial and people operations. Melanie grew up in a family-owned construction business, so she understands the practical realities of running a trade business, on the job site and behind the scenes.

She holds an MBA with an emphasis in Finance and bring controller-level experience in construction, including payroll, HR administration, job costing, and operational oversight. It's her goal to work closely with owners and teams to improve cash flow, internal controls, and systems that support growth. I also offer Spanish fluency to better support bilingual teams and field operations.

In addition to her professional work, Melanie is a business owner and real estate investor with a portfolio of short- and long-term rentals and experience completing a home flip. That real-world experience allows her to partner with clients in practical, decision-focused ways—not just from behind a spreadsheet.

When not working, you can find Melanie enjoying time with her family, spending as much time outside in the sun as possible and homesteading on her little farm.

Every small business needs an organizational wizard to keep the bills in check, and for us, that’s Jessica.

She specializes in the nitty-gritty of Accounts Payable management—untangling invoice discrepancies, keeping vendor accounts perfectly balanced, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
