Hi, I'm Melissa! I am a CPA who used to work in the soul-sucking world of corporate finance. In 2021 I finally walked away for good, and now I want to take what I learned there and help small business owners.
There are two main pillars that I make content on: exposing corporate greed and the lack of competition in the oligopoly-filled "free market" we find ourselves in, and also educating small business owners (and consumers!) about the basics of business finance - so that the playing field can be leveled to some extent.
Check out my website (melissasilbercpa.ca) if you need finance help and want to get in contact. I can also be found on TikTok and Instagram :) Handle: @melissasilbercpa
