Victoria Thayer came from a working class family in Venezuela. Raised by a single mother and her aunt, both of whom were maids, Victoria got her big chance when she was offered a college scholarship in the U.S.
She had never been to the States before, and spoke little English. Classes were so difficult that she recorded them and listened to them again later, frequently stopping and starting the recording, trying to understand.
Her hard work paid off, and she landed a job with an accounting firm. Although successful, she knew eventually she wanted to start her own firm — one that would spend more time nuturing individual client relationships.
She started Novii CPA in 2023. Victoria shares her journey and some of the many challenges she’s faced.
Her story is an inspiring immigrant success story: if you are brave enough to come to a new country to learn a whole new language and culture, then anything is possible. And starting a business on your own really isn’t that daunting!
