The Heart Behind The Little CPA®
Mastering money isn’t just for accountants — we all need a Little CPA.
We believe everyone can benefit from thinking like a CPA.
CPAs are trained to see the big picture: blending accounting, finance, business strategy, tax law, technology, and ethics. That same well-rounded approach is exactly what’s needed to steward our financial resources wisely, aligning every dollar with purpose and care.
Having said that, we know that thinking like a CPA can feel overwhelming—no one is expected to know it all. That’s why our blogs and resources are created with guidance from qualified professionals, helping to fill knowledge gaps and support you on your financial journey.
Get to know The Little CPA.
We are a collective that believes creating wealth and giving radically are not mutually exclusive. While we travel, invest, and enjoy the life God has provided, we also prioritize helping the oppressed (Proverbs 31:8-9), uplifting communities, and creating lasting change that glorifies God (Matthew 5:16).
Although our content is designed for early and mid-career professionals from underserved communities – the educator committed to teaching life-skills in the Black community, the investor backing innovative health-care start ups, the attorney using her disposable income to support the food insecure… and so many others – the principles we share empower all who desire to think more like a CPA and build wealth that honors God.
Here are our fundamentals ▼
Money isn’t our master — it’s a tool for God’s Kingdom.
Through wise Financial Management, purposeful Financial Growth, intentional Financial Impact, and God-honoring Financial Freedom, we craft this tool into a powerful instrument for lasting impact.
— 01
Financial Management
We believe in practicing wise stewardship through budgeting, saving, managing credit and debt, diversifying our assets and applying Biblical financial principles.
(Proverbs 27:23-27)
— 02
Financial Growth
We believe growth is part of financial stewardship, although it looks different for each of us. Whether it’s investing, career advancement, or starting a new business — we are building our resources to support our purpose.
(Matthew 25:14-30)
— 03
Financial Impact
We believe our resources are meant to make a difference. Through charitable giving, starting a social enterprise, impact investing, or creating generational wealth, we want to leave a lasting impact that honors God and blesses others.
(1 Timothy 6:17-18)
Founded and Created by Chérie
CPA | PFS™
With more than 14-years of experience as a tax and financial professional, Chérie’s passion for financial education started early in her career when her film-student roommate asked about LLC tax deductions. New to the accounting profession, Chérie researched and shared the info in written form – kind of like a blog.
As more friends and family sought her advice on topics like equity compensation and nonprofit compliance, she saw a clear need for trusted financial guidance for her peers who were building wealth, giving back and planning for the future.
In 2017, she published her blogs and launched The Little CPA® as a hobby, which quickly grew to over 10,000 followers. In 2025, she expanded The Little CPA® to what you know it as today – a personal finance education community rooted in faith, focused on stewardship, impact, and intentional wealth building.
