Client Story
In Practice and In Command
“Jean’s experience showed us what was possible. We started thinking differently about what we could do as a business.”
Alexia Jones
Managing Director
Alexia Jones is the Managing Director of U.S. Immigration Law Counsel®, a South Florida-based firm known for its advocacy and client-first approach. As a high-volume practice with expertise in complex legal issues and often sensitive cases, the firm needed financial leadership that could bring stability without slowing progress. With ProCFO Jean Evans, U.S. Immigration Law Counsel found a partner who could keep pace, offer perspective, and help them evolve.
Why U.S. Immigration Law Counsel Engaged a Fractional CFO
When Alexia first reached out to ProCFO Partners, the business was facing a period of change. Leadership was adjusting, internal roles were shifting, and growth was accelerating. The team needed financial reporting, but they needed a better understanding of their business.
“I knew we had a successful business, but I didn’t have a clear sense of where we were winning or what was holding us back,” Alexia said. “And we needed someone who could operate quickly, because there wasn’t time to bring someone in and wait six months for them to ramp up.”

She wanted someone with experience leading through similar transitions. Someone who could understand the intensity of the work and still help the team step back to think strategically. With Jean, that’s exactly what she found.
Embedded, Empowered, and Essential
From the beginning, Jean brought a mix of decisiveness, financial expertise, and emotional intelligence to the engagement. Her ability to assess quickly and act clearly helped move the business forward.
“Jean doesn’t waste time,” said Alexia. “She knew what questions to ask, and if something needed to change, she helped us change it.”
Our ProCFO has helped me mature as a leader, and how I think about hiring, planning, and leading a team.
Rather than sitting on the sidelines, Jean became a central voice in leadership conversations. Her perspective helped focus internal controls, improve the structure of financial oversight, and guide the organization through growth with greater resilience.
“She’s helped me mature as a leader,” Alexia said. “Not just financially, but how I think about hiring, planning, and leading a team.”
Metrics That Moved the Business
With Jean’s support, the firm transitioned from reactive financial practices to proactive ones:
- Department-level P&Ls created clearer accountability and insight across the organization
- Adjusted reporting schedules improved cadence and gave leadership a better view into cash flow
- Strategic budgeting enabled hiring and expansion planning that aligned with firm priorities
These changes helped the firm make better decisions with greater confidence.
“We stopped reacting and started preparing,” said Alexia. “We could see what was coming, and we could plan for it.”
For Jean Evans, the opportunity to work with U.S. Immigration Law Counsel meant stepping into a business full of energy, purpose, and potential.
“They had all the right intentions. It was just a matter of getting the systems in place so they could see and feel their progress.”
Jean brings experience from corporate finance and fast-growth organizations. At U.S. Immigration Law Counsel, she applied both to help the firm balance its fast pace with steady systems.
“You don’t need to slow down to get organized. You just need to be intentional,” she said.
From Confidence to In-Command
Today, U.S. Immigration Law Counsel is growing with more structure, better processes, and clearer insight into what’s working.
Alexia says the partnership with Jean changed how she thinks about her role as a leader. “I make decisions differently now. I’m not guessing. I’m looking at information and acting with clarity.”
I make decisions differently now. I’m not guessing. I’m looking at information and acting with clarity.
And for a law firm built on advocacy and accountability, that kind of approach is foundational.
