Meet Our Founder
Alice Cherng, CPA
I started my accounting career two decades ago in public accounting and large corporations, but over time I found great satisfaction in delivering financial insights that significantly impact small businesses.
​
I discovered my passion for the food industry when I worked in various restaurants. This journey inspired me to found Sesame Accounting, where my goal is to empower local restaurants through transparent financial practices and detailed analysis to help them thrive.
