My experiences and achievements
I’ve been in business all my life.
From cracking walnuts to purchasing shopping malls, and more recently getting ready to launch some very useful software.
Starting with the end goal in mind, my accounting training has significantly enhanced my ability to effectively manage the entire process, with a keen awareness of what not to do.
As background, please refer to my business profile and feel free to contact me anytime about anything.
