Hello
My name is Larry Aiello and I am an accounting professional with 30 years accounting experience and a graduate of the University of Florida.
My experience covers a wide variety of industries including real estate, healthcare, financial services and doing a lot of different tasks related to the business world. And I’m also a big geek in figuring out how the computer can improve our lives.
I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others no matter what the subject matter.
I grew up speaking Italian at home and developed a love for the Italian language at a very young age as we would travel back-and-forth every year to visit my family and friends. Early on I realized that knowing another language is indeed a gift. It allows you to have relationships and friendships that you never otherwise would have had. It also allows you to travel and enjoy various cultures and new experiences. I enjoy sharing my knowledge about the language and the culture.
I love sharing my knowledge of business-related topics, accounting, personal finance, investing in real estate, mutual funds or whatever else I happen to know. I consider myself a lifelong student on this journey that we all undertake and enjoy sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
Good luck in your journey!
