Two Generations. Countless Transformations.
From family business roots to modern-day CFO, Dalia helps millennial Latinas and first-gen entrepreneurs take ownership of their finances—with clarity, compassion, and real systems that stick.
Team Dynamic: We move as a team of three—that’s our rhythm. It’s a community-based approach where each of us brings exactly what your business needs to thrive.
Think of it like arroz con pollo: you’re the chicken—the main event. We’re the rice, the seasoning, the sofrito, and the pot that brings it all together. On your own, you’re strong. With us, you become a complete, flavorful dish—nourishing, balanced, and built to feed something bigger.
Our Story
Dalia Tax & Business advisors started as a dream for MORE. More security for a small family, led by a single mom from a different country. More opportunities for a daughter, who was encouraged to dream BIG. More help for a community of entrepreneurs who didn’t understand the language of business.
In 1983, from her kitchen table Dalia Melendez decided to take a talent for numbers and her desire to help people and prepared her first income tax return for pay. From those humble beginnings sprang forth a business that has lasted over 40 years and served thousands in our community.
Today, under the leadership of Marilyn Melendez, we help overwhelmed entrepreneurs focus on what is important: family and future, by deciphering the language of business. We know the sacrifice it takes to run a small business, the school events missed or the fear you won’t make payroll. We’ve been there.
That is why at Dalia Tax & Business Advisors, educating and coaching our clients are our passion. We are a judgement-free zone, where there is no gatekeeping.
We encourage our staff to be the best they can be in their careers and at home. We value gaining and sharing knowledge. We offer unparalleled support through our team of 3 model – offering CFO, Controller & Client Service Manager to fill the many rolls our clients need.
Let us walk with you in your journey to success, guiding you past the pitfalls. When our clients out-grow us we are proud to have been part of the process. We are honored to be a part of our clients success.
