Soon to be CPA from Chicago's north suburbs
Hello BiggerPockets members,
Thank you to everyone who actively supports this community! From blogs and formal articles to podcasts, this site has added incredible amounts of value to my life and I look forward to doing my best to return the favor.
I studied accounting and finance at DePaul University and was also one class short of a real estate minor. I work full time in financial planning and am part of the way through the CPA exam. When not studying for the CPA exam, I play hockey and scour Zillow and build financial models for what I hope to be my first investment property.
As my career progresses, I hope to continue to grow towards small business tax planning, consulting and compilation while investing in horizontal income streams.
Please reach out to me with any technical excel questions or tax scenarios! I will be glad to help!
-Brian
