“As a taxpayer and resident of Salt Lake County, you deserve to have the professional oversight of a CPA who is committed to serving you, regardless of political affiliation,” writes Sheila Srivastava, who is running for Salt Lake County Treasurer.
I grew up pinching pennies. I will do the same with your tax dollars.As a candidate for Salt Lake County Treasurer, many voters have asked me why I am running for that office and why they should vote for me.The long answer is that I grew up in rural Utah with food insecurity and limited resources. I watched my mother work three jobs, juggle expenses and argue with her husband over credit card bills.
Thankfully, my mom worked hard to make ends meet and was also able to send me to college. I became the first in my family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. I went to work, earned my Certified Public Accounting license, started my own firm and built a practice by word of mouth. My humble beginnings drove me to work hard, spend carefully and invest wisely, allowing me to retire at the age of 51.
During the past 15 years of my career, my work centered on helping nonprofits and municipal governments. I found fulfillment working with these organizations because I knew I was also serving the broader community. My clients called me because I was known for my integrity, hard work, exceptional service, professional expertise and the ability to think outside the box.
More importantly, vote for me because tax dollars are your money. While I might not be able to help every resident achieve financial freedom, I absolutely can put my three decades of professional experience to work, ensuring that our government is working for Salt Lake County families like you. As a taxpayer and resident of Salt Lake County, you deserve to have the professional oversight of a CPA who is committed to serving you, regardless of political affiliation.
As noted, I understand what it is like to sacrifice a personal need in order to make ends meet, to experience food insecurity and how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of applying for tax relief during difficult times. I am committed to making sure your tax dollars are safe so that you can focus on your day-to-day life and your efforts to achieve your financial freedom.
