AUDIT ARMOR - Key Persons
Ayami grew up in Tokyo, Japan where she received her Master's Degree at the University of Tokyo. As a top student she was awarded the prestigious Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship allowing her to study and complete her Ph D at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Before moving to California with her husband, Jonathan, Ayami did important scientific work as a Biofuel Agronomist.
When the couple's two children were born, Ayami chose to pause her career to focus on motherhood full-time. When the children began school, Ayami was eager to bring her skills and experience back to the workforce as an entrepreneur with her husband.
With this career pivot, Ayami has learned the ups and downs of a small business owner's life. She has immersed herself in the couple's mission to provide excellent advice and customer service to their Audit Armor clients.
Before earning his MBA at the University of Notre Dame, Jonathan served our country driving tanks in the United States Army. Upon graduation, Jonathan began his career at the CPA firm The Bear Financial Group in Oahu, Hawaii. While there, he developed his passion for helping small business owners organize their financial affairs and navigate the complicated US tax system. A lifetime surfer, Jonathan also met his future wife, Ayami, in the crystal blue waters of Hawaii.
Back on the Mainland, Jonathan expanded his expertise by helping his clients plan, prepare, and qualify to buy and/or rent real estate properties.Recognizing that real estate can be an integral piece in his clients' financial health, he has developed a niche department helping real estate agents and brokers with not only their personal tax situations, but also with their "self-employed" clients who find qualifying for loans exceptionally difficult.
