SCL Tax & Accounting Inc.
Hi, I'm Sarah
As an enthusiastic number cruncher with a CPA, CA based in Vancouver, BC. I am a financial analyst, an educator and a quasi-entrepreneur tightly compacted into a 5’0ft frame. My career path has been shaped by a blend of essential ingredients:
1. Find Passion - I need to love what i do. Maybe not everyday but generally speaking;
2. Provide Value-Add - I need to have the satisfaction that my work brings value to others;
3. Be Strategic - I strive to utilize my work to facilitate the strategic decision making process;
4. Contribute to Community - I need to be able to serve my community ;
5. Be Entrepreneurial - I like to find solutions to every day problems
​
​
When not crunching numbers & juggling deadlines, I enjoy the dog mom life with my goldendoodle Empi (short for empanadas). I try to stay healthy (& sane) with at least one activity per day be it yoga/squash or badminton/ pilates/ volleyball / swimming or weight training. I may complain about it, but I do enjoy it. Last but not least, I will dream of the next travel adventure (7 continents & 38 countries to date).
