How did you decide you wanted to work in accounting/finance?

During the pandemic I decided to stay home with my kids and went back to school. I knew I wanted to keep working with numbers, so I landed on accounting/bookkeeping.
What are the highlights of your career so far?
I have my Bachelors degree and am an Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional, along with being a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. I am also excited to say that I will be completing my Accounting Certificate in the fall of 2023.

What three words best describe you?

What did you want to be when you were a little kid?
