If youโre a ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ข, ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐บ ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ, you know how costly a wrong hire can be. โ It drains your ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ with endless rework. โ It eats up ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ with salaries that donโt deliver ROI. โ It kills ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐บ, forcing you to put out fires instead of scaling. Thatโs the gap I solve. Iโm a CPA, Founder, and CEO who started my career at PwC and KPMG, and later became a Financial Controller for startups and multi-entity organizations. Thatโs where I saw firsthand how hiring mistakes can set businesses back months even years. Thatโs why I founded ProActive Offshore Accounting Solutions (โProActive Solutionsโ): to help founders hire smarter and scale faster with offshore teams that deliver ROI from day one. ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ถ๐: โ Match startups and CPA firms with A-player Filipino accountants (bookkeepers, tax seniors, controllers, CFOs) โ Build finance team structures that grow with your business โ Free up founders from micromanaging so they can focus on vision and growth The result: ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ, ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐. When Iโm not helping founders scale, youโll find me training, traveling, or learning from locals because persistence and curiosity fuel everything I do.
