my skills & diligence

I always wanted to be self employed.

I have always worked at home. One year on April 1st I was preparing taxes and noticed a fire engine zooming down the driveway. One of our out buildings had caught fire. As I was out telling the firemen what was in the building (that might explode) a tax client arrived to pick up her return. Her words to me "Have I come at a bad time?"

I wanted to be an accountant when I was in high school but was steered away by those who knew better since "they don't hire women accountants" . I got a BS degree in Occupational Therapy instead. I worked as a therapist for less than 10 years and then got involved with a natural foods restaurant and bakery where I was one of the owners who was good with numbers. I then decided to go back to school and figure out how to keep a set of books the right way. At that time one could sit for the CPA exam with a degree in anything and 24 hours of accounting. That was the way I went and passed the exam in 1985. I did my entire year of supervised employment in auditing.
