My Mother: The Accountant

For fifteen years now, my mother has been then owner and operator of Teresa Marron LLC, which is her personal accounting business. She became a Certified Public Accountant in 1994 and worked for several accounting firms before realizing that she could be her own boss and make triple the money. In 1997 she started working from home and purchased her first computer, which was sure to change the accounting industry as nearly all records today are kept electronically. Through this profession she has taught me many lessons over the course of my life, including basic business principles and how to manage money. It was also always nice to have her working at home, because for a long period of time my dad worked the overnight shift at a Newspaper company, and was rarely home himself, unless it was to sleep. Having my mother around the house at all times as well as her doing an excellent job supporting our family really helped make my childhood carefree.
Throughout our whole family, my mom is the one that everyone goes to for advice and counsel. The only one to go to college (besides me) in our entire family, everyone looks up to her. The job of being an accountant brings much respect to her name, especially in the current economic times. As businesses fail, my mom's prospers as she finds clients new ways to save money every day. Her identity as a result of this job is someone strong who can lead the way for others in the most important part of many people's lives; their wallet.
