SASHA BALUKA
Partner
Bessolo Haworth CPAs LLP
Sasha Baluka moved to the United States at 17 years of age with no English skills and with limited personal contacts outside of her family. As she was learning English and acclimating to life in a new country, she was promoted to a bookkeeper and ultimately was promoted to lead the company’s accounting department. She had started attending community college and eventually transferred to the accounting and finance programs at California State University, Northridge.
Baluka landed a position at a mid-sized regional accounting firm but realized her own entrepreneurial spirit and started her own firm, which she led for 10 years. She came to Bessolo Haworth with the desire to manage complex client engagements and is currently leading the audit of a client with more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Since her arrival at Bessolo Haworth, Baluka has successfully started a new international tax practice at the firm.
