Founder. Payments architect. Branding specialist.
For twenty-five years, Alicia ran a software company, the firm companies called when their payment systems were broken or their margins were quietly bleeding out. Her team's gift was raising profitability by software alone. That matters for one reason: she reads your statement the way the people who built these systems read it. Nothing stays hidden from someone who knows exactly where things get hidden.
Sixteen years inside payments taught her the rest: how the games are named, who profits from each one, and exactly where to look on page 7. She founded Merchantify after watching technology she helped pioneer get used to bury fees in plain sight. She decided to sit on your side of the table instead.
The practice is deliberately small. Statements read line by line, personally. Every proposal reviewed by her. Every client known by name. When you call, a human answers.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, trained in design at Syracuse University, a fine artist with work in major collections, a mother of three. Off the clock she is at the gym or cruising her red golf cart to Ricky Martin. Everything she builds, including this firm, runs on the same two rules: simplicity and truth.
“You are not just another company. You're someone's life work, and we defend it.”

A few businesses a year get her inside the company as a . By invitation only.
