“I was working a job that I had out grown. Even more, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and felt my passion for serving people and my love for accounting would be my calling.”

Joy launched her business in 2018. “I was working a job that I had out grown. Even more, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and felt my passion for serving people and my love for accounting would be my calling,” she shares. So with faith and determination, she walked into her purpose, and the rest is history.

Joy graduated from Park University with a bachelor’s in accounting, then pursued a Master’s degree in Human Resources from Webster University. With over 20 years of experience serving in a multitude of accounting and human resources roles, Joy is respected for being a versatile and well-rounded tax professional.

As an entrepreneur, Joy says she enjoys having the opportunity to serve her community and ensure people are educated in the area of taxes. She also appreciates the opportunity to assist business owners by taking on the burden of the accounting task, allowing them to focus on growing their small businesses. While Joy shares she has a genuine love for serving others, it truly her clients and their continued support that have made the biggest impact on her life and business.

“I have been blessed to be able to provide a meaningful service to the members of my community. I work very hard to ensure my business is recognized for being trustworthy. It’s definitely an honor when I am told that my services are highly recommended,” she says. “It takes a lot of trust to turn your financial affairs over to a stranger. I appreciate that my clients have trusted me to do right by them and know that I will continuously operate in honesty and integrity.”

Her advice to others who may follow in her footsteps is to be patient. She says, “Success does not come overnight. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else because this is your journey and you have to walk it out at your own pace. Also, don’t get discouraged by what may not happen today because tomorrow is a new day, full of new opportunities and possibilities.”

Moving forward, Joy says she plans to continue to grow her business to higher levels.
