Rosa McAllister
General Owner, CPA
Rosa is a CPA in the Philippines and in the USA with extensive experience in general accounting and tax from small to huge companies over the years. She finished her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Saint Louis University, Baguio City, Philippines.
She got her CPA license next and landed her first job at IBM as an International Tax Accountant. She worked next at Shell Shared Services as a Tax Analyst handling Canadian sales taxes.
She migrated to the US in 2014 and her career grew quickly as she worked for different companies and stayed busy doing taxes during tax seasons. She got her Michigan CPA license while working full time and continued moving up in her career. She works as a controller in her current job.
All these experiences trained her to do all the accounting tasks needed to prepare accurate financials, analyze, and explain variances, prepare budgets and forecasts, and provide advice or guidance to business owners in making informed decisions based on the financial reports.
Her years of experience doing tax also trained her to do tax planning to avoid fees and penalties and to use tax deductions and tax credits that each client qualifies for to minimize taxes.
During the pandemic, she ventured into business and started her own accounting and tax firm so she can help others with her expertise especially small to mid-sized businesses and work remotely on her own schedule.
Her vacation times are mostly spent out of town traveling with her family. She also loves gardening roses in her backyard; it serves as her therapy after an exhausting work week.
