All this time I have also been present in a family company.

2019 I invested  and become stake holder and CEO in a company that was producing carbon fibber parts for Lamborghini and Ferrari racing departments due to my passion for cars which soon turned out I was scammed altho business was real.Networking in base tax-accounting business led me to a joint venture  with a mortgage broker with whom I partnered to expend tax-accounting in to a full blown financial consulting group.
