Out of her comfort zone.

When she was 18, Azra left her home in Bosnia to find new adventure in the States. Soon after, a mentor told her the key to professional growth was to do things that might make you feel a little uncomfortable; her next cross-continental adventure—two years as an expat in India—reinforced the lesson she still believes in.

One area where Azra’s completely comfortable? Developing life-long relationships with her clients; and helping them break down complex tax rules into simple “non-tax” language.

Fittingly, Azra met her husband on Tax Day. They have two young kids and she still helps him with his returns.
