is hosted by
Aminder Mann, CPA
-
Aminder is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and the founder of Sequoia CPA, a modern accounting firm based in Seattle, WA. After years of working behind the scenes with fast-growing tech companies like Smartsheet, Icertis, and Artica—helping them scale and even go public—she saw firsthand how powerful financial clarity could be.
She started Sequoia CPA to bring that same level of insight and strategy to small business owners. Aminder believes bookkeeping isn’t just about staying organized—it’s about giving entrepreneurs the tools and confidence to make smarter decisions and build the businesses they dream of. Her goal is to make finances feel approachable, empowering, and a true asset to growth.
Originally from Calgary, Canada, Aminder now calls Seattle home, where she lives with her husband. When she’s not working, you’ll usually find her outside hiking, gardening, or just soaking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
