BBW MEMBER INTERVIEW WITH: Inna Kisseleva, CPA
What is your name and occupation?
Inna Kisseleva, CPA
How long have you been a Boston Business Women’s Member?
Less than a year
Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
I was born and raised in Rostov on Don, Russia. However, I've been in the United States since 1995 in hopes to achieve American Dream. 🙂
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I am a Certified Public Accountant and specialize in taxation of domestic and foreign small, medium and large business and their owners. The main reason for my decision to become an accountant was the fact that only accountants had jobs during economic downturn in Russia in early 1990s... figured at least I will always have a job no matter what.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Not to burn bridges with old friends.
What is your favorite book?
I love to read historical fiction
What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, a organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)
TripLog - recently discovered mileage tracking tool.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Be confident and go for it.
How do you enjoy your free time?
I like having debates with my children about life and politics. I also like gardening, reading, baking bread, hiking and traveling.
What is something that not many people know about you?
I came to the US with $10 in my pocket (Can't imagine traveling to a foreign country with this much money now. Not sure what I was expecting, but this is all I had at the time).
