I am a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) and Independent Life Insurance Agent. I have been passionate about being an Accountant for over 25 years. I could talk all day about financial empowerment and how it is so important to have a basic understanding of personal and business finances. My journey into accounting started in my high school years but solidified during my college years at the University of Pittsburgh. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a BS in Business/Accounting and began my accounting career working as an auditor for the PA Department of Revenue. Since then, I have held a variety of accounting jobs in the public, private, nonprofit and government sectors. In 2013, I decided to go out on my own and created Mittman Besnoff Agency where I work with individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations in preparing tax returns, accounting services, life insurance needs, and financial education empowerment. In 2022, I decided to evolve my business and I am now known as Your Financial Maven LLC. I am so proud to be a Solopreneur and Woman-Owned Business. In the Spring of 2022, I decided to add to my business and get into the world of Podcasting. I am part of the inaugural class of the Seneca Women Podcast Academy along with iHeart Media. My podcast- Your Financial Maven launched on April 26, 2023 on the Seneca Women Podcast Network. In September 2023, the Your Financial Maven Podcast moved to Spreaker Prime Network.

In addition to being in business, I continue to educate and expand my business knowledge through various Master Level College Certificate Programs: Gratz College, Cornell University, and Lebanon Valley College. I received the following certificates: Nonprofit Management, Women in Entrepreneurship, and Leadership & Ethics. I also continue with my professional education for both my CPA and Independent Life Insurance licenses. I am also certified as a Quickbooks Online ProAdvisor. In 2023, I was named by the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs as one of the Women to Watch.

I am a Mom, Wife, and Community Leader who is compassionate, caring and enjoys life. My husband and my boys keep me balanced between work and personal life. When I am not working, you can find me playing with our fur baby, at the beach, and spending time with cherished family and friends.

Coming soon Your Financial Maven LLC (YFMLLC) will be transitioning to Business Consulting for Entrepreneurs. Look for more information soon.

As Your Financial Maven, I want to Engage, Strategize, Educate, and Empower you and your Small Business
