About ME
Hi, I’m Chi
As a working mom and CPA, I understand the challenges we face. I pulled back from advancing in my career because I was worried about the time commitment if I decided to take a promotion, study for the CPA exam, or pursue my master’s degree. I wanted a successful career, but time with my family at home is important too.
It was challenging to face these important decisions alone. I hope to share my stories to show you that it can happen. You can do it all and reach your goals.
I want to share my journey and the tools I used to stay organized while I navigated becoming a CPA and my accounting career as a working mom. Welcome to the Organized CPA.

WHY i Created Organized CPA
My CPA Journey
After passing my first section of the CPA exams, I failed three sections because I struggled with time management after starting a new job while balancing school. I took time off and came back full force and passed those sections in six months! AUD and BEC as a working mom and FAR studying full-time. Creating a personalized study schedule was one of the steps I took to pass within the 18 month window.
