Industry        

Business and Financial Operations

 

What products or services do you sell?

Eneya Accounting is a US-based firm that provides bookkeeping and accounting services.

 

Why did you become an entrepreneur?              

I have always been passionate about accounting and financial operations since my third year in undergraduate school, Chapman University. However, I never wanted to be restricted to the tasks that I should perform or to the clients that I should interact with as an accountant. Becoming an entrepreneur gave me the exposure and experience I needed to grow and excel for professional and personal development. Being exposed to various industries and gaining extensive knowledge in the accounting field gives me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Moreover, I communicate my passion while creating opportunities for individuals who want to learn about the back-end accounting processes of businesses.

 

How did you first start your business?  

I first attended QuickBooks Online (QBO) training and acquired the QBO certification after establishing my business. I wanted to be proficient at utilizing the software to serve clients and scale my business. Next, I contacted a web developer, marketer, and search engine optimizer to build an online platform where I share information, educate the audience and promote the company.

 

What makes your company unique from others?            

Eneya Accounting provides an educational platform, including blogs and online courses, in addition to bookkeeping and accounting services. It creates a community of knowledgeable business owners who have a clear understanding of their business accounting processes.

 

What has been your biggest "win" since the company's inception?         

Helping a client to reinstate their seller’s permit after working on their books. The client had to comply with the state agency, but it first needed its financials to be accurate and ready for the filing process.

 

What is the biggest risk your business ever took?         

To launch amid a pandemic. The shift in the economy made it hard and challenging for small businesses, like mine, to grow due to the multiple uncertainties we face.

 

If you could do it all over again, what one thing would you do differently, and why?       

I would have hired a mentor during the starting phase of my business to work closely with me and provide the required guidance. The mentor would have helped me to gain self-confidence faster for networking opportunities and branding purposes.
