This work is about more than numbers. It’s about knowing that what we do matters. Lumen helps churches and nonprofits build the financial clarity and operational strength they need to focus on the people, communities, and missions they serve.

Hi, I’m Ariana Horcasitas.


About Lumen Business Solutions

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Strong organizations need more than passion. Lumen helps build the financial and operational foundation that allows churches and nonprofits to stay focused on the people and communities they serve.

Mission comes first

We bring care, integrity, and practical experience to every organization we support, helping leaders better understand where they are, where they're going, and what it takes to get there.

Clarity with purpose


About Ariana

For more than 12 years, Ariana has worked alongside nonprofits and churches, with 17 years of experience in accounting and financial management. Her work has taken her through nonprofit operations, advocacy, government contracting, business ownership, and major organizational projects with churches and nonprofits throughout Southern California.

Along the way, she saw a challenge shared by many smaller organizations: leaders are deeply committed to their mission, but the financial and operational side of running an organization can quickly become overwhelming.

Every organization has bills to pay, budgets to manage, processes to maintain, and decisions that require good financial information. Those responsibilities may happen behind the scenes, but Ariana believes they are an important part of making the mission possible.

That understanding ultimately led to Lumen Business Solutions.

Through Lumen, Ariana works alongside nonprofit and church leaders to bring greater clarity and structure to their finances and operations. Whether an organization needs stronger financial systems, better processes, help navigating change, or simply someone who understands the realities of nonprofit work, her goal is the same: to help build a stronger organization so its leaders can stay focused on the work that matters.
