Kali’s path to accounting began in high school, when she helped her grandfather, a CPA, during busy season. That early exposure, combined with a strong aptitude for math, inspired her to pursue the field in college.

She was drawn to DHJJ by the firm's family-oriented culture and commitment to supporting employees both professionally and personally.
