Chief Financial Officer at Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs
Hi, I’m Wassia [Pronounced Wa-see-Ya] I help finance and accounting professionals become the kind of leaders people enjoy working with, not just the ones who know the numbers. I’ve spent over 15 years leading finance teams across different industries, from manufacturing to tech to nonprofits. I’ve led teams through tough situations like layoffs, big growth, system implementations, and everything in between. Now I teach what I wish someone had taught me earlier: - How to see the bigger picture, - How to build influence and credibility, - And how to evolve from a technical expert to strategic business partner. Here’s how I do that: - I speak at conferences and company events - I teach with partners like Wharton Online, The AICPA and The AFP. - I share real-world stories in my podcast and newsletter, The Diary of a CFO. - I have created a leadership program to help mid-career FP&A and accounting professionals reach the executive level (i.e. VP, CAO, CFO). If you’re trying to grow as a leader, or help your team do the same, I’d love to connect. WassiaKamon.com Info@WassiaKamon.com
