About Andrea

Andrea had no hope of escaping a CPA career. 

Even as a kid she took her allowance money, figured out what she wanted to buy, then budgeted around those goals. 

And nothing has changed. Except she now helps other people with money management!

Andrea began her career with KPMG International, but opted to leave in 1990 to work for a smaller, family owned business.

Having been in public accounting since 1987, Andrea has been licensed as a CPA in Texas since 1989. She graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Business Administration, Major: Accounting, with equivalent minors in Finance and Economics from Texas A&M University.  (And, yes, in that she enjoys working long hours AND enjoys it immensely.) 

In addition to being a CPA, Andrea is also licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor with New Century Investments and offers investment advisory services.

Andrea “cleanses her accounting palette” by enjoying home decorating and travel…even though she claims not to be very good at home decorating. However, she loves learning about different cultures in her travels to Greece, Europe, and even Orange County. (Ask her about the trip to Orange county where the entertainment was Aerosmith!)
