Introducing Aprilโ€™s powerhouse Speaker for our next Virtual WIB Event!

Topic: Boss Up Your Finances

Gloria Acosta discovered accounting soon after starting her first job at age 17. Within a few months of being hired at an accounting firm, she transitioned from reception to bookkeeping to help prepare for tax season.

In 2020 after 25 years as an accountant and tax consultant, Gloria founded Boss Up Bookkeeping. She noticed that successful women around her had no problem earning good money; however, they weren't fully equipped nor prepared come tax time.

Gloria's mission is to empower high-achieving women to take control of their finances and make strategic moves with their profits. She partners with successful women by organizing their books each month and forecasting future profits and the unavoidable payout to the IRS.

Gloria lights up when it comes to numbers and, in her words, โ€œtotally geeks out.โ€ She compares bookkeeping to solving puzzles and gets a kick out of balancing the books. Her positive, high vibe energy makes it easy for friends and family to ask for financial advice. She's known to be positive, always finding solutions but will also give it to you straight, as a big sister would.

Gloria was born and raised in Los Angeles. In her free time, she's either chillin', hanging out near water, sippin' a margarita, or dancing. Gloria is a wife. Her Husband has always encouraged her to pursue her aspirations. A mother to three sons. Her long-term goal is to become a CPA and business strategist, scale her accounting department and use the capital to impact womenโ€™s lives by providing support and building a women's shelter.
