Hey there, I’m Mylika Cherise, Certified Public Accountant, Attorney, MBA and CEO of ASAP Tax & Accounting Services Inc.
The sentence above highlights my professional credentials, but let me tell you a little about me, the person.
Although making, growing and managing money is my everyday life, it hasn’t always been the case.
I wasn’t raised with money, I wasn’t raised with many financial resources at all. While my parents separated when I was young, I had the love and support of both, until my dad’s passing in 2009. Despite having modest means, my mom, along with our “village”, made a way for me to have a highly active and well-rounded upbringing. From JROTC, to student government, to youth church, to participating as a debutante, I’ve always enjoyed exploring new challenges.
So for me, operating a full-service accounting firm encompasses so much more than merely tax preparation, bookkeeping and financial statements. My role as CPA is a means of paying it forward! What am I paying forward?
The assurance of having partner or a member of the “village” that helps bring the client’s vision to fruition!
Education is the first step to empowerment; the next step is implementation – and it’s my goal to assist my clients through that full process.
For many, the thought of tax planning, accurate financial tracking and presentation can cause tremendous stress, frustration and fear for individuals, business owners and non-profit executives alike.
The financial knowledge gap often hinders projects from moving forward, cause businesses to shutter and can keep families from many of their dreams such as homeownership.
Which is why I have given my life to helping individuals, small businesses and nonprofits succeed by providing fiscal infrastructure solutions, bringing clarity, education and peace of mind to my clients.
