Hey! I’m MaCara, your Traveling Accountant! 

I'm Cara, your Traveling Accountant! After years in the corporate nonprofit sector, a layoff prompted me to rebuild my career and deepen my understanding of personal finances. This led me to enroll in a financial literacy class, becoming a financial coach, and eventually teach financial literacy within my community. While completing my accounting degree, my passion for organizing finances and problem-solving flourished marking a significant career shift.

While traveling extensively, I noticed the lack of representation of minority women in the international finance industry which prompted me to create Around the World Ledger, a boutique accounting firm specializing in international taxation and financial education for US Expat entrepreneurs and digital nomads.

Like you, I have a desire to live abroad. Along with that I strive to be a small business advocate. I am proud to be one of the (very) few Black women in the tax industry specializing in international taxation. Also while traveling that my true passion manifested, helping others plan their move to another country!

Recently this year I took another leap of faith by founding a nonprofit organization called Projects 2 Passports. Projects 2 Passports main mission is to empower young girls of color from economically disenfranchised communities with the confidence of becoming globally conscious leaders by breaking down systemic barriers through world education, mentorship, and transformative travel experiences.

Nowadays, you can find me globetrotting across the globe splitting my time between the US and abroad while enjoying family time with my two young adult children, reading, and binge watching HGTV and Law and Order. Now join me and embark on this journey together!
