In Episode 127 of the CPA Career Path Podcast, Rosey Flaherty, CPA, continues her conversation with Trisha Nomura, CPA, Owner of Ascend Consulting LLC in Hawaii, about the career decisions that shaped her path and what success really means beyond a paycheck.

Trisha shares how she moved into roles she never expected, carried her accounting foundation into every position, and learned to measure success through flexibility, time, memories, and impact. She also talks about trusting yourself, taking chances, and knowing when it is time to make a firm decision.

🎯 What You’ll Take Away:
• Saying yes to a chief people officer role she never once imagined for herself
• Carrying her accounting foundation into every job, even one built entirely around people
• Redefining success around the currency she values most: time, memories, and impact
• Walking away from a role she loved for one summer, a choice that ultimately launched her own firm

A New Podcast Episode Is Here

In Episode 126 of the CPA Career Path Podcast, Rosey Flaherty, CPA, talks with Trisha Nomura, CPA, Owner of Ascend Consulting LLC in Hawaii, about the career choices, opportunities, and simple decisions that helped shape her journey in accounting.

Trisha shares how one college class changed her understanding of accounting, why she encourages students to explore the profession early, and why asking for opportunities can make a difference in your career. She also discusses finding the right coaches, gaining experience in different areas, and learning from multiple perspectives.

🎯 What You’ll Take Away:
• Discovering in a single college class that accounting was about money, not the math she feared
• Choosing coaches who work for you, not the firm, and asking for them directly
• Turning “just ask” into a habit because a no leaves you exactly where you started
• Building real grit by winning over the very client she used to dread
