Our Team
Alma Y. Cortez - Accountant
Accounting is more than just a career. It’s my calling, my passion, and the way I get to serve others every day.
My journey began at 17 years old in a small accounting firm, where I started as a receptionist. With an eagerness to learn and a habit of asking endless questions, I embraced every opportunity to grow. Those early years shaped my foundation and taught me the value of being teachable, diligent, and committed to excellence.
But the spark was lit long before that. At just 8 years old, I accompanied my dad to his accountant in Mexicali, Mexico, where I was born. I’ll never forget watching him confidently manage the books for my dad’s car wash business—his calculator in hand, every number handled with precision. That moment left me in awe and inspired me to make numbers my superpower.
Fast forward to today, I’ve dedicated more than 19 years to helping business owners thrive. I don’t just see my clients as numbers on a page—I see them as partners and friends. My true fulfillment comes from watching their businesses grow and knowing I played a role in their success.
My mission is simple: to bring integrity, clarity, strategy, and confidence to your finances so you can focus on what you do best—building the business and life of your dreams. Let’s work together to make your goals not just possible, but achievable.
