Laila Day

Ambitious and dedicated individual with 3+ years of experience in accounting roles.

As a recent successful CFE writer I am thrilled to be on the cusp of achieving my CPA designation.

My experience in public practice and government audit have awarded me a strong understanding of accounting practices, as well as the communication and management skills that allow me to thrive within teams.

My approach to professionalism is driven by an eagerness to learn and a propensity for problem solving.
