#10 ~ MMM ~ Insight into Money Making Mother Francesca Tricarico

I am Francesca co-founder of Future Cloud Accounting and founder of my local NYPsocial hang out group. As a single mum of two and I decided 10 years ago that I wanted to create a better life for myself and my children, so I went back into education. I spent all my spare time studying and saving towards buying my own home. I had a passion for accountancy, so worked hard and focussed my efforts towards joining a top practice. As well as studying, I did some voluntary work in the industry in order to become as fully immersed in the industry as I could before being offered an amazing opportunity to work within a top local firm (after applying twice). I graduated in 2014. All the hard work felt worth it. I asked lots of questions and really challenged myself to learn all areas of the business. It was then that I was introduced to cloud-based accounting and realised that there was an opportunity to ‘make a change’ and move away from the ‘old school’ traditional methods of accounting. I made this my calling and began to work towards making that change myself. I LOVE finding out about people. I question everything. I want to be friends with everyone and be involved in everything!! I love a challenge and I love to challenge others too. I have made it a mission to help others succeed; yes I have made many mistakes in the past but I have learnt from these and really want to share those lessons with others. I am a huge user of Social Media, I believe that sharing my business journey on Linked In, Twitter and Facebook has really helped towards my success story! #thejourneyisreal My personal interests lie in the health and fitness industry. I strongly believe that every business owner should have a physical hobby. I am also a huge fan of grenade bars ha-ha. I really believe I can change the world, change the way people think, especially in the accounting industry. I need people to know it’s not just a numbers game. It’s been hard work getting to where I am today. My drive born out of wanting to create a better life for myself and my children. Having worked so hard to get here, I would like to inspire others that they can get to wherever they want to be, just like me.
