Catrina M. Craft is a CPA and a true entrepreneur at heart.  And since I think everyone needs a passion to function at optimum level necessary to succeed,  Catrina’s passion is strategizing about business tax savings and business growth.  As a certified public accountant, Catrina mentioned on LinkedIn that “I work with small and medium sized business owners to develop financial goals and create plans to achieve success”.

Catrina is CEO, Founder, of C. M. Craft, PLLA, a Certified Public Accounting Firm, where they empower individuals and business owners to achieve financial success through wealth accumulation, while utilizing creative tax strategies.  Some of her strategies have been in the entertainment and sports industry.  In the entertainment industry she is coined as the “CPA to-the-Stars,  carving out a niche servicing talent, directors, producers, writers in film, television and radio.

Dr.T. R. Lee, Publisher of The Dallas Post Tribune is more familiar with Catrina’s parents who he speaks very highly of.   I asked him more  about  Mr. and Mrs. Craft.  His ready answer was they both are great leaders in the City of Dallas and their combined contributions to society are too numerous to measure.

Thank you, Catrina, for your inborn quest for success.
