About Melissa Raia

As Global Controller at LPT Realty, I oversee financial operations encompassing treasury, payroll, AP/AR, GL, equity, tax, and reporting. With over 15 years of experience, I bring a commitment to financial integrity and operational excellence, guided by my CPA credential and deep expertise in U.S. GAAP reporting. Previously, I supported eXp Realty’s growth from $500M to $4B+ in annual revenue by scaling global accounting systems, leading multi-currency consolidations across 50+ entities, and driving compliance with clean Big 4 audits for over five years. My mission is to advance financial frameworks and optimize processes to enhance performance and compliance globally.
