CPA and Partner

Rosschele Belasa-Santos (Che)

I grew up in General Santos City in Southern Mindanao, Philippines. I graduated Cum Laude and received my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Ateneo de Davao University. After college, I worked at Coca-cola General Santos, and then with Ernst and Young Philippines (SGV), one of the largest accounting firms in the world - where I found my love for Taxation.

After I married my high school sweetheart, Mike, we moved to California, USA. I continued to pursue my love for taxation working in Moss Adams, a large regional accounting firm. I honed my skills in US Taxation, working with individuals, small businesses, and not-for-profits.

I love spending time with my family. I have an amazing husband, Mike and four beautiful kids, Dmitri, Trinity, Olivia and Nikolai. I like to read, listen to music, sing, and write.

I love being a Mom- the very reason why this accounting firm started. Starting my own practice offers the flexibility that I need to be the hands-on Mom that I want to be. I'm an advocate for fellow Mom-preneurs and Breastfeeding.

Financial Professional and Partner

Juan Miguel Santos (Mike)

I grew up in the Philippines in General Santos City, which was named after my great grandfather Gen. Paulino Santos, Sr. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila. We've since been living in California, USA with my wonderful wife and our four children.

Being healthcare professional of over a decade, I've seen life at its beginnings, endings, and its in-betweens. I know for certain a lot of us here in America are one illness away from certain financial ruin.

While earning as a Registered Nurse, most of our family savings went into traditional market instruments and this is where I discovered my love for finance. With my wife as a CPA, I underwent the training to become a financial professional to compliment her expertise and go on a mission to help American Families save money again.

Coming in as a youth in an aging profession in the height of the '08 Financial Crisis, I saw how hard it was to get a career started and how bad retirement can get if you are not prepared. While financial instruments do work, it does not answer every need of every family at every stage of their lives. There are rules to money and the education on this has been lacking from our institutions.

We're here to bridge that gap and bring your family the security and peace of mind for you to pursue your passion and expertise to the fullest of your abilities.
