Hey there!Thanks so much for stopping by—I’m really glad you’re here. Let me introduce myself: I’m Diana, a CPA with a Master’s in U.S. Taxation, and I’m currently working toward becoming a tax attorney. I’m also a self-made millionaire and a business owner, so I know firsthand the challenges that wealthy individuals and entrepreneurs face. I’ve been in your shoes, and I’m here to help you navigate those complexities with confidence.My journey hasn’t been a straight path—it’s been full of twists and turns. I grew up in the Soviet Union, immigrated to the U.S., and built my life from the ground up as a single mom. Along the way, I’ve learned the value of resilience, hard work, and having someone you can trust in your corner. Those experiences shaped who I am today and how I approach my work.I started my career at some of the biggest accounting firms in the world—PwC, EY, and BDO—where I cut my teeth in audit services. Later, I took on leadership roles like Controller at a sustainability startup and Vice President of Finance and HR at a growing data center company. Those experiences taught me how to tackle complex financial challenges while keeping people at the heart of everything I do.When the pandemic hit, I realized how much I wanted to use my skills to help others during uncertain times. That’s why I started my own firm, Seattle Accountants Professional Corporation. My goal was simple: to provide personalized, compassionate support to people and businesses who need it most. Whether it’s helping a family office in Hawaii, supporting local businesses in the Pacific Northwest, or guiding individuals through their financial goals, I’ve made it my mission to be a trusted partner for anyone looking for clarity and confidence in their finances.I’m also a lifelong learner—always striving to grow and expand my knowledge. I recently completed my Master’s in U.S. Taxation, and I’m now pursuing a law degree to better serve my clients. Why? Because I truly believe that when you know more, you can do more—for yourself and for others.At Seattle Accountants Professional Corporation, my team and I are here to offer so much more than just accounting services. We’re here to listen, to truly understand your unique story, and to help you achieve your goals—whether that’s saving on taxes, growing your wealth, tackling personal finance challenges, or even overcoming debt. I know how overwhelming financial stress can be, and I’m here to help you feel more in control and confident about your money. From bookkeeping and payroll to tax advisory, CFO services, and personalized financial guidance, we’re dedicated to providing solutions that are as unique as you are. Let’s work together to create a plan that works for your life and your goals.I’d love the chance to get to know you and see how we can work together to make your financial journey a little easier and a lot more rewarding. Let’s connect soon—I can’t wait to meet you!Diana Akhmerova, CPA, MST

Updated: 02/02/2025Seattle Accountants Professional Corporation is committed to safeguarding the information that our clients have entrusted to us. Our goal in securing our network, systems, and information is to strike the correct balance between operational efficiency and protection against unauthorized access, intrusion, and theft.Security Measures

While Seattle Accountants Professional Corporation strives to protect client information, no security program can provide absolute security due to the inherent nature of the Internet and digital technologies.
