Description

To many, the world of accounting and finance may seem boring, especially if you’re number-adverse and the thought of pulling out a calculator gives you anxiety. But for our guest this week, Wendy Barlin, it’s the career that has made her dreams possible.

Motivated by a desire to create her own financial stability and independence, Wendy chose accounting and CPA work early on in life. She realized her prince charming from her childhood dreams wasn’t coming to save her, so it was time to take matters into her own hands.

Now, not only is she a CPA extraordinaire, she also is a public speaker and teaches others about financial literacy and accounting. Her chosen field has allowed her the time and space to discover her passions both in and out of the office, and now she teaches others to do the same. 

If you’re in search of a new career or just starting out, you might want to consider accounting after listening to this episode. In Wendy’s case, it’s been one of the best decisions she’s ever made, and it could be yours, too.
