                                    About Elizabeth
"I
have been personally trained and certified by David Gershon and Gail Straub through their Empowerment Institute Program facilitated in Rhinebeck, New York
.  In addition to being a Life Coach, I am a motivational speaker and workshop facilitator.  Out of a desire to have more flexibility in my life as a working mother, wearing my CPA hat, I left corporate America to start a solo tax practice, which I owned and operated for 16 years with great success.

 Besides broad professional training, I bring life experience to my coaching.  I use the lessons learned overcoming great challenges in my own life to help you overcome yours.  I have always seen the cup as half full embracing the possibilities to create what I can visualize and feel for myself.  I believe in the practice of gratitude as a way to keep one's spirits high.  My life has been most transformed by understanding how my inner belief system was impacting my life.  I will help you discover how your inner beliefs, are impacting yours. Awareness is power.
 
High spirited, enthusiastic, and forever curious about the world; I love meeting new people, travel to foreign lands, adventure, nature, change and exploration.  I consider myself to be a student of life.  My education comes from each encounter."

 Life Coach, CPA, Motivational Speaker,
Workshop Facilitator

Elizabeth Brown has mastered success in both her professional career, as well as the area of personal growth and empowerment.  She is a Certified Empowerment Life Coach who facilitates the ongoing personal growth of her clients, and a Certified Public Accountant who guides each of her clients to achieve success in every aspect of their financial lives. 

Combining her 22 years of experience as a CPA, successful entrepreneur, Life Coach, and working mother, she now owns and operates a successful personal development business, where she helps professional women have more balance, joy, and ease, by understanding how their inner beliefs -- especially about money -- impact their life.

Prior to launching her personal development business, Elizabeth was the President and Chief Financial Officer of CPA Tax & Accounting Solutions, PC a highly successful sixteen-year tax and business consulting enterprise, which she started from scratch, and where she specialized in helping high net worth clients and small-to-medium size businesses, in the tri-state marketplace, improve their company finances.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. degree from Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. where she not only received a four-year academic scholarship, but also paved the way for subsequent students, as one of the first two Mercy graduates to be recruited by a “Big Eight” accounting firm, then Peat Marwick Mitchell & Co.   She spent three years with Peat Marwick auditing such fortune 500 companies as Nestle and General Electric and served as part of the audit team for the State of New York audit.  It was during these three years that she obtained her New York State license as a CPA.

Elizabeth is a native New Yorker who loves travel and living in the Lower Hudson Valley where she enjoys the beauty of hiking in all seasons, the proximity to ocean beaches, visiting great music venues, and enjoying the wide variety of ethnic restaurants.
