My career began in the accounting and financial industries back in the early 1990’s at my father’s tax firm in the Youngstown, Ohio area. I was young, but very blessed to have such an awesome opportunity to work with many individuals and small business owners. Initially, I helped manage client’s bookkeeping, payroll, and income tax filings. As my skills in the accounting practice continued to advance, I chose to get licensed and refine my abilities in the insurance and securities industries and expand services.

By 2002, I opened my first financial firm to work with our accounting clients where I would assess, strategize, and implement financial solutions to meet their goals. My experiences included working with small businesses to invest in future growth, prepare for large business purchases, and provide proper protection. I also advised high-net-worth individuals, designed retirement portfolios, and made sure they were properly insured. These diverse engagements lead to working with attorney firms that specialize in corporate and estate laws also. I was beyond blessed to have all these opportunities and gain vast wealth management knowledge throughout my career.

In 2014, I opened my own accounting practice in Tallmadge, Ohio to provide individuals and small business owners with bookkeeping, payroll and income tax preparation services. It was a delight to meet and work with so many wonderful people. I’m proud to say the business grew and everything was going well. I established a second investment branch from that location to meet new client’s investment and insurance needs, while maintaining the branch back home. Having my own accounting practice while managing two investment branches was honestly a pleasure for me.

My life changed on May 2, 2020, when I received news that my son, SPC Kyle Wojciechowski, was killed just off base at Fort Carson, CO. The days and months that followed were very difficult. The staff at my tax practice was amazing and we continued to thrive in a community that rallied behind me, at least as much as they could during the COVID-19 pandemic. I buried my Soldier back home, close to family, in the Youngstown, Ohio area and soon moved my residence back there as well. With my accounting firm being a distance to travel daily, I chose to list my practice for sale. In late October 2023 the firm sold, and I decided to focus primarily on my wealth management practice.

That brings me to the birth of Mission: Wealth Management in 2024. I am beyond excited to begin focusing full time on wealth management for my clients. As a Gold Star Mom, it is my mission to honor my son, as well as God, family, community and country in everything I do. Mission: Wealth Management is passionately dedicated to meeting the needs of individual and small business owners that have worked so hard to accumulate and maintain wealth. Rest assured that when you work with me or any of my team members, we are committed to being your companion in navigating financial possibilities.
