Esmeralda came to New York when she was 18 years old. Coming from a very small town in Bulgaria, she had no idea what she was getting into. On her first week being in New York, she was so close to hopping back on the plane and going back home. Handling the New York lifestyle was a lot to take on as an immigrant and being all alone.
Her original plan was to get her Accounting bachelor’s degree and then go back home, but when her parents decided to move from Bulgaria she decided to stay in U.S. to pursue her master’s degree in Accounting as well.
During her corporate career Esmeralda realized that she was not living up to her American dream so she decided to work on launching her bookkeeping business, EDT Bookkeeping and Tax. She launched her business during COVID and she wishes she started her business a lot earlier!
She’s excited to share her journey to success to entrepreneurship and provide value by serving her clients with her tax and accounting expertise.

There was something a lot more than being an employee of a company.
One of the things that I valued the most, is knowledge and that is something that I want to share with the world.
I was paying for everything on the go.
There’s always resources available out there.
If you know where you’re going, and if you are inspired to reach your goals you will get there.
With every mistake, it’s an opportunity to learn.
Don’t get discouraged.
Talk to like minded people.
The American dream to me is to be a small business owner, where I control my time, I control how much money I can get depending on how much work I put in.
Knowledge is very important.
Reading a lot is very important.
There’s a lot of information for free.
