Meet Michael Baas
I grew up in Central Florida in the shadow of the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney. After being a scholar athlete in high school (more scholar than athlete), I followed in my mother’s footsteps as an accountant and obtained a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Accounting.
I then took the natural course or working in public accounting for a large international accounting firm, obtained my CPA license and continued on my career. When I was younger, my mother, a well-respected Controller for one of the largest hotels near Disney started her own accounting firm. Her entrepreneurial, be your own boss spirit has always stuck with me.
Over the course of my career, I’ve been involved in real estate investing (was virtually wiped out by the 2008 real estate crash), stock market trading since the late 90’s (I even was a free-lance writer for a very popular stock trading newsletter during the internet stock boom) and accounting consulting under my own company. I always have something going on while handling a busy work day schedule. Through many trials and tribulations, I’ve figured out how to get a lot of things done, stay organized and get the most out of my time and money. In starting my website and blog, I wanted to share this information so that maybe I can help others that have gone through similar things or help them to avoid them.
I appreciate your comments and as you explore my site, let me know if there’s something you want to know more about or a related topic that I may be able to help with.
You can see more information about my accounting backgroud here or at LinkedIn
Best Regards,
Michael
