When it comes to redefining leadership at the intersection of purpose and profit, few professionals exemplify excellence like Felicia Gallagher, MBA, CMA, CPA. As the Founder and Principal of ThreeStone Solutions, Felicia has built a reputation as a trusted advisor to beverage, spirits, and consumer goods founders seeking financial clarity, operational excellence, and long-term freedom.
After more than two decades in corporate finance and executive leadership, Felicia launched ThreeStone Solutions in 2025 to bridge a critical gap between financial strategy and founder alignment. Rooted in her three guiding principles —Faith, Family, and Excellence—the firm helps clients understand their numbers, protect their purpose, and scale sustainably.
“You can build wealth without losing your soul,” says Gallagher. “Financial clarity isn’t just about profit. It’s about peace.”
During her tenure as Senior Vice President, Finance at NuCO2, Felicia partnered with the Senior Vice President of Sales and Service to help generate over $73 million in new revenue growth. Her hallmark leadership style, anchored in analytical rigor, transparency, and empathy has transformed organizations and inspired a new generation of values-driven entrepreneurs.
Today, ThreeStone Solutions stands as a boutique powerhouse in strategic finance, known as the “McKinsey of Beverage Finance.” The firm empowers founders with data-driven insights, practical systems, and strategies that balance growth with grounded decision-making.
Central to Felicia’s mission is her proprietary framework, Built Not Borrowed
, which forms the foundation of her highly anticipated book, Built Not Borrowed: A Beverage Founder’s Blueprint to Financial Freedom (set to release before the end of the year). The book captures her journey from corporate executive to founder while offering practical tools for beverage and spirits entrepreneurs to master their margins and build enduring brands.
Beyond her firm, Felicia is an author, speaker, and thought leader whose authenticity resonates across platforms. On Instagram, her candid “#NoMakeupMonday” series has become a movement of its own, inviting thousands into raw conversations about faith, family, and entrepreneurship. Her firm’s Instagram community continues that mission with regular content that blends financial clarity and modern leadership.
Felicia also reaches an engaged professional audience through LinkedIn, where she publishes her “Proof & Profit” newsletter, an influential series exploring industry insights, margin strategies, and purpose-led leadership.
“ThreeStone Solutions isn’t just a firm, but it’s a philosophy,” Gallagher explains. “We help founders align their finances with their core values so their principles are reflected in every decision, every dollar, and every stage of growth .”
Felicia Gallagher is shaping a new era of finance, where clarity replaces chaos, purpose guides profit, and legacy becomes the ultimate return on investment.
