Vanessa Alvarez is an accounting and billing specialist with over five years of professional experience and a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Fullerton. Vanessa joined Engage Advisors due to the welcoming office culture and work-life balance the company provides. Vanessa appreciates the mathematics and problem-solving in accounting and is passionate about helping run businesses on the back end while growing in a profession that she loves.

Her key responsibilities involve billing and accounting, working to ensure the billing department runs smoothly and billing clients as fairly and accurately as possible. Her clients’ main concerns are usually billing-related, and she solves those problems by keeping their accounts up to date and strategizing payment options to best fit individual needs.

Outside of work you can find Vanessa running, hiking, and doing almost anything outdoors with her family. She has a husband, two beautiful girls (ages 3 and 1) and a 3-year-old male German Shepherd. Vanessa’s culture is very important to her – she’s Guatemalan American and can speak fluent Spanish. Vanessa’s perfect day begins with a good strong coffee, followed by a productive workday, and is finished off with a solid run or workout. Vanessa’s favorite quote is “Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’”.
