Meet our Founder

Christina founded T.E.A. after specializing in the fiduciary accounting practice area for over a decade. Her vision was simple - create an accounting firm that specializes in this niche area and become a partner to clients nationwide who regularly seek these services. Many times firms and fiduciaries rely upon generalists or non-accounting professionals, and Christina has served as a forensic consultant in many cases where hard lessons were learned in trust or estate accountings that lacked the rigor and precision that an experienced and specialized practitioner provides.

The guiding principle that Christina sets at T.E.A. is to be a reliable resource to all of our clients. This means that we maintain high standards of excellence in: our attention to detail, our ability to effectively communicate, and our ability to work efficiently. Christina is active in constantly upgrading the technological tools, data management and handling practices of the firm so that T.E.A. exceeds our clients’ expectations in project turnaround.

Christina is a licensed Certified Public Accountant by the State of California and holds an M.A. and M.B.A. from New York University and Middlebury Institute. She was also a Fellow at the Institut d’Etudes Sciences Politique de Paris. Christina speaks four languages, enjoys time with her husband and daughters, and is co-founder of a non-profit for the empowerment of young women.
