Laurie Ashton Farook, CFO
Laurie worked as an accountant for nearly two decades in Canada, the last nine years self-employed. She worked for very small business to large corporations in a variety of diverse industries, including hospitality and restaurants; construction and painting companies; programmers, web designers, and database managers; tow truck drivers; and a whole lot more.
Laurie was also heavily involved in providing computer training, teaching everything from basic computer skills to family history to accounting software.
Her attention to detail, which made her so successful as an accountant, translated into success with freelance writing and editing. She’s worked as an assistant editor for a Sri Lankan magazine and has had over 80 articles published in a variety of national magazines. She’s also worked as a freelance writer, writing everything from computer user manuals, proposals, human resources manuals, job training manuals, marketing materials, business plans, and more.
The hat? It’s made from Sri Lankan water buffalo leather and has imprints of elephants all the way around.
In her spare time, she maintains two blogs, snaps a lot of photos, experiments with international cuisine, and writes science fiction and fantasy.
