Hello! I'm Melissa. 


I am not just your average CPA; I've turned down six-figure job offers because they didn't align with my values. 

Outside work, I am a proud rescuer of 2 dogs and 2 cats, and yes, one of my dogs is deaf, yet the most attentive listener you'll find. 

My sense of humor? Let’s just say I’ve cracked jokes with executives of million and billion-dollar companies.
