SONIA CARRARINI CEO & FOUNDER
SONIA’S philosophy Numbers and finance are my actual “world” and I like the challenge of trying different fields where I can test my skills and improve the knowledge I have been built during these years. Growing up in Italy, the same warmth, passion, and innovation I have grown up around are the same morals and approach I have taken in shaping the A as Accounting brand, client relationships, and hands on, white glove, extensive customer service philosophy that our entire team provides day in and day out.
HISTORY
Rome, 2000 - 2009
Sonia began her career in 2000 where she was responsible for heading the A/P department for domestic and international suppliers and handling banking relationships, for one of the largest European companies involved in interiors, production and installation for cruise-ships and mega yachts, in Rome Italy.
Miami, 2010 - 2014
In 2003 Sonia moved from Italy to the United States where she worked within the fashion industry’s accounting and financial departments for over 12 years, developing the hands-on expertise, tenacity, drive, and professionalism which drove Sonia to a CFO position for the LVMH Group’s Luxury International Brand FENDI and its exclusive FENDI CASA USA market division. The FENDI CASA brand is one of the world’s most famous and luxurious home, furniture and accessories brands.
A as ACCOUNTINGMiami, 2015 - Present
In 2015 Sonia opened her own accounting firm as she saw the need for business owners to have the support of a strong, detailed, and organized accounting department, in order to keep their books accurate. She saw the needs of many clients, especially foreigners, unfamiliar with the steps of opening and maintaining a business in the US.
You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It’s the language of business and it’s an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting – how to read and interpret financial statements – you really shouldn’t select stocks yourself” – Warren Buffett
